In windows 7, 64 bit, it does not install but it runs "fine" if you copy the cdrom on the harddrive and run the application directly.
It will ask you where to find BS2K.
Point it to the directory you copied the CDROM and it will work.
HOWEVER, i cannot
see JPG images.
Everything else, including pronunciation works fine.

Hi Shenouda,
This issue might occur if the driver for the AMD graphics card or the catalyst control are not installed properly on the laptop.

Step 1:
Refer to the link to download and run the AMD catalyst controller uninstaller:
Refer to the section “How to uninstall AMD Catalyst™ Drivers in a Windows® 8 based system”
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/GPU57RemoveOldGraphicsDrivers.aspx

Proceed to the next step.

Can I run MS Office in Windows 7 and another program in Windows XP mode simultaenously? [Anwsered]

Can I run MS Office in Windows 7 and another program in Windows XP mode simultaenously?

Bought a new computer w/ Windows 7 Professional.  I just discovered that a non-MS program (call it Program #2) that I intended to run on the computer using the installed OS  will only run on Windows XP (b/c a third program, AutoHotKey, which I intend to
run w/ Program #2, will only work w/ Program #2 in Windows XP).  I discovered that I can run Program #2 in Windows XP Mode on my Windows 7 computer.  So far, so good.  But in addition to Program #2 (and AutoHotKey), I also need to run MS Office simultaneously
w/ the other two.  I have a valid copy of MS Office Home & Business 2010 on the computer, but it's configured for its native OS, Windows 7.  I would need another license to install a copy of Office H&B 2010 in Windows XP mode, but Microsoft is no longer selling
Office 2010.  What's more, Office 2013 doesn't run on Windows XP.  So my question is:  Can I run Program #2 (and AutoHotKey) in Windows XP mode, while simultaneously running Office 2010 in Windows 7, and switch from Program #2 to Office (and vice-versa) as
effortlessly and seamlessly as switching from one browser window to another?  Thanks.

Bug report: Using "B" as Drive Letter prevents indexing of files on that drive [Solved]

Bug report: Using "B" as Drive Letter prevents indexing of files on that drive

Apologies if this is the wrong place to submit a bug report. 

Windows 7 RTM was refusing to index the search on one of my folders, even after rebuilding the index several times.  What's more is that even though the indexing was not working, the computer was acting as if everything was normal, and simply reporting back 'null'
for all searches on that drive.
In other words, set the drive to index, no search results turn up.  Turn indexing off, and search works normally (albeit slowly).  After a few days of befuddlement, I finally realized that indexing was not working on that HDD
because I had set the drive letter to B:

Only after solving the matter was I then was able to find it through a search and see that it  had been

brought up earlier with respect to Vista, and that it was deemed a "feature" not a bug. 

I don't really have any fault with Microsoft's design decision, although it seems to me that floppies are fairly well deprecated by now and there should be full functionality available on the "B" letter.  The problem is that the Management Console fails to
mention anywhere that changing to B would render search non-functional, and Windows Search compounds the issue by misrepresenting that the index search is not working.  

In my opinion, either Microsoft should remove this old-fangled limitation entirely, or barring that, upon using B: as a HDD letter, the system should default to manual search on that drive, and refuse to accept the index check box.
