Hi Jeni,

What version of Windows are you running? Are you getting an error
message, and if so what does it say?

Some of my NZSG disks won't run on my newer Windows 7 laptop, and that
includes the WWI disk and the 1893 Electoral Roll. I get this message:

The version of this file is not compatible with the version of
Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information
to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version
of the program, and then contact the software publisher.

I'll keep running those on an older XP machine, until/unless a newer
version of the program can be provided.

The Marriages disk, the 1881 Electoral Roll, the Version 5 Index and the
Burial Locator run fine, as do the newer Combined Electoral Rolls, Jim
Pearce Index and Return of Freeholders.

Kind Regards,
Wendy
