As I was in Yangon I tried to install the Pali Lookup program on the
Pali Teacher's computer but with no success. I remembered having had
problems to install that program on both my desktop and laptop
computer, but managed to find a solution by googling the error
messages I got. Unfortunately this was not possible in Yangon since
the computer was not connected to the web and I could not remember how
I solved the problem at home. I think it had something to do with the
fact that the OS is Windows XP and not 98 and maybe also with some
Access components. Has anybody else also had problems installing that
program?
I have another annoying problem with that program that I find very
useful by the way. On my laptop the main window shows all the
diacritical marks and when i type aa for example it automatically adds
a diacritical mark on top of the a. On my desktop computer this does
not happen and I have to use the ignore accents options, because I
find the codes very difficult to remember. I suppose this has
something to do with the font being used since the fonts on both
computers look different, but I could not find any font option in Pali
Lookup itself. Since this is an Access based program, do i have to
change something in Access?
