Anyone have trouble using the Multi media companion cd for Apologia Biology?
We inserted it in the computer and can't get it to work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We do have Mac OSX, but it says on the back that is compatible.

We have that problem with so many DVDs AND CDRoms and it is extremely annoying. If you don't have another computer, even run over and ask a neighbor if you can stick it in theirs and see if that works.

i don't know if we had that exact problem with the Apologia CDRoms.

Sorry, good luck.

Ours won't work on our main computer, but will work on my daughter's laptop.
God bless,

With OS X version 10.5.7, if it matters. I don't think it should, but just in case.

I put the disk in and had to click on it on the screen. Then in the finder window, I double clicked on "mm" folder. The second thing available was "index.html". I double clicked that and a firefox browser window came up. (I use Firefox as my browser.) At that point, I could chose the file I wanted and it plays in the browser window. It plays in Quicktime if that makes any difference.

BTW, thanks for asking the question. I had bought the companion cd, I know I told dd about it, but she claims she didn't know we had it. So now she knows! :)

Yea!!! It worked. Thanks Cheryl. But the screen is only 3 1/2 x 3 1/2. Do you know if I can make it larger? There wasn't a corner thingy to drag out. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your time. It was very helpful!
