    I have tried to install the WT Library CDROM under WinXP and I cannot get it to run. I tried all possible combinations available under Properties/Compatability and the best I can get is "abnormal program termination" error messages.

    Has anyone been able to get the 1995 WT CDROM to play nice with WinXP? If so, howjadoit?

    Thanks.

    Nathan, I bet its becuase the installer is 16 bit. Check out this article and see if this is the answer. If it is, we might be able to do a workaround as XP does have a Virtual DOS/16bit capability. Please let me know if this helps.

    The second one may also be of use for a workaround.
