Hi, I got the readme file to work and this is what it said about it.-----
Eyewitness World Atlas 1.0 requires a sound card to be installed, as all the animations in the product are synchronised to run frame-by-frame with their accompanying soundtrack. If a sound card is not installed Eyewitness World Atlas 1.0 will not run. You should check that your computer has a sound card and drivers installed.
You should also check for the presence of WinG drivers in both the Windows and the Windows\system directories. They should only exist in the Windows\system directory. If you find any in the Windows directory you should delete them. The files to look for are:
wing.dll wing32.dll wingde.dll wingdib.drv wingpal.wnd
Restart your computer before trying to run Eyewitness World Atlas 1.0 again.----
well this is as clear as mud to me. anyone help please
