Hi,

What version of the CBTs do you have? You check the version number by viewing the ini files (GE.ini and PE.ini) in the system folder on each CD-ROM.

Could you send us a System Information Files so we can look for the cause of the problem.

To make a System Information File:
1) Click START - Run (or hold the Windows key and press R).
2) Type 'msinfo32' and click OK. This will open MSInfo.
3) From the drop-down menu, choose 'Save'. Name your file [your name].nfo, and save it.
4) If you have Winzip, zip the nfo file; this will reduce the size to only a few KB.

Hi,

The software is crashing with an error in module IML32.dll. This file is part of the Shockwave plugin, but the CD-ROMs should not require any plugins to run.

1) Try updating / removing the Adobe Shockwave plugin.
2) Try the software in compatibility mode.

We cannot replicate this error on our test PCs so I can't test this, but installing QuickTime has removed this error for some people with similar issues.

I found the solution !!!

1.- Right Click on the EXE, then select properties
2.- Go to compatibility and Check: Run Program in compatibility mode
3.- Select Windows 95
4.- Don't run in admin mode

Hi,

It sounds like you have an older version of the CBT that is not compatible with the fixed exe; what version of the PPL CBT do you have? (You should find a .ini file in the system folder - this will have the CBT version number in it).
