Folks, some six months ago, I purchased a 1998 Ford Service and Repair
Manual CD (FCS-12551-98C19).

When I first got it I had some trouble getting into the guts of the
manual, but finally managed to figure out the "trick."

Was trying to open it again and no luck.  Basically I get to the
service menu screen for 1998 Mustang and click on the 'view" button to
view the "engine" section and nothing happens.

I remember having the same problem the last time I used it, but don't
remember what I did to overcome it.  Any clues?

Turned out I was working under my daughter's log-in, which has no
administrative priv.

When I logged in under mine, no problem......Thanks though.

Why the heck would the writer have set higher than 'guest' privileges on
that?  
I'd think it would be set as 'user'... so that it would run in most basic
mode to keep idiots from dicking around with the PC!

Did you get it from Helminc.com ?
If not, I think many of them are poorly made, full of read errors.
It works one time, and not the next.
Try start-run-eventvwr.msc and look at System errors.

my 1995 and 1999 Ford cars full line complete service manuals always
work great--these are the same ones I had offered to sell for low
money, but some member got up in arms about that...too bad, they are
great  septicman@peoplepc.com
