#Encyclo-problems
4 messages in this thread
I Have a Tandy CDR1000 and so far so good! This thing has revolutionized
the way I work. Everything works with one noteable exception! I have the
Software Toolworks Illustrated Encyclopedia and the text and pix are good
but I can't get any sound. Other discs that have sound work fine (Mammals,
Stellar 7,TimeTable of History…) but no go on the Encyclopedia. I took
the d the disc to a local computer store and it worked on their machine. I
have a 286 with plenty of free base RAM even after the extensions are
loaded, so I don't think memory is a problem. If anyone has any suggestions
please leave me a message. I bought the Player without any software so I
had to buy the CD's understandably I want the thing to work. [D [D
Thanks for any assistance Mike

Mike, I got the Software Toolworks Illustrated Encyclopedia as part of the
software bundled with my drive. This CD has no sound. It is last year's
encyclopedia. I called Grolier directly and they upgraded the disk to the
1991 version, which they call the Electronic Encyclopedia and it has lots
of sounds. Although I believe the upgrade offer has expired, they may
still accomodate you. Give them a call. They're in Connecticut.

what drive bundle did you get…. and how long ago.

Phil, I bought the DAK bundle a few months ago. Call Grolier and try to
upgrade that encyclopedia disk to the 1991 version- It has lots of sounds,
and is very impressive. Much better than Comptons Family encyclopedia
which comes with the Sony Laser Library <IMHO>.
