Dear Larry,
thanks a lot for your quick help.
i was trying to install the CSCD that i think is not compatible with Vista. we are so attached and dependent on this software. inability to install it gave me a lot of trouble. i was cruising on the word files of the CSCD i have in my computer. and this is so time consuming and uninteresting.
now i downloaded the the desktop software cst4 from the net. it said it crashed when i was trying to open it from program files. Now i installed it in C: and it works. i liked it against the older version of cscd.by the way, is there any other version of tipitaka? 'romn'?

Sadhu for the help
May you be happy and wise
