1. CD Does Not Work On Windows XP
Check your CD version number. If you are using version 1.0 it will not work on Windows XP, or Windows 2000. To run on Windows XP or 2000, you must use version 1.2. If you are a registered user of version 1.0 we will upgrade you to version 1.2 at a discounted cost. Please email us for details.

2. Is World of Horses Mac Compatible?
Only version 1.0 is Mac compatible. Our newest release Version 1.2 is strictly a PC application and does not play on a Mac. If you are a registered user of version 1.2 and need for it to play on a Mac, please call us for details on exchanging the CD.

3. Quicktime Not Installed Error
Multimedia World of Horses is driven by Apple® Computer’s QuickTime engine. While most computers already have QuickTime™ pre-installed, some do not. The program will not operate without QuickTime installed on your computer. In the event you need to install QuickTime, you will find two separate files on the CD ROM disk that contain the QuickTime™installation setup program. Install QuickTime only if it is not currently on your system. Please read the Quick-Start Guide that came with the CD ROM for installation instructions. There is also a ReadMe text file on the CD that provides added instructions.

4. How Do I Install World of Horses
World of Horses does not install on your hard-drive; it runs entirely off the CD-ROM. Each time you want to use the program, you must insert the CD-ROM disk into your CD-ROM drive and then follow the instructions for running the CD in the "Running the CD" section of this web page.

5. Running The CD
Close all Windows programs as they may cause a viewing conflict. For version 1.2, simply insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive and the program will run automatically. If your system’s auto-run feature is disabled, or if you are using version 1.0 that does not automatically play, you must start it manually. From the Start Menu select Run, then type D:\horses.exe then click OK. The program will then begin to play. D refers to your CD-ROM drive letter and is usually the default CD ROM drive letter for most computers. Substitute your actual drive letter if different. If you are unsure of your CD ROM drive letter, double click on the My Computer icon at the top left of your screen desktop. Your drive letters are listed individually. You can also bypass the Run command, by going to "My Computer" then double-clicking on the CD ROM icon to show all the files on the World of Horses CD. Double-click on a file named horses.exe. This will start the application and bypass the Run command.

6. Error: Cannot Find File D:\Horses.exe
This usually occurs when you start the CD manually and your CD ROM drive letter is not D, but is actually something different such as E, or F, or M. The playing instructions in the World of Horses "Quick-Start" guide lists the letter D for reference purposes only, but asks you to use your actual drive letter if different. To view your actual drive letter assignments, simply go to "My Computer" to verify the letter and then substitute it in the Run command. You can also bypass the Run command, by going to "My Computer" then double-clicking on the CD ROM icon to show all the files on the World of Horses CD. Double-click on a file named horses.exe. This will start the application and bypass the Run command.
