National Geographic-Back Roads 3D

[kchusky]

I picked up National Geographic-Back Roads 3D last week. Anybody have this program running on Vista? I just hooked up a second pc that is running Vista and can't get this program to always open. It's worked 4 out of 35 trys. Nation Geographic help line has you email in for help. Well that was a few days ago and nothing yet? Need some help..

Have you upgraded the program? The CDROMs could be a year old ...

"How do I install TOPO! on a Windows Vista operating system?

When installing software, Vista may ask you to 'Allow' the installer program to run, and might require you to enter an administrator password to proceed. Follow the on-screen instructions, allowing Vista to run the setup.exe installer.

You should be able to install to the suggested 'Program Files' location, but if you experience any problems with this, please click the 'Browse...' button during installation and change the install location to the following: "c:\users\public\topo!". This will allow any user account on the PC to run the application.

If the program icon does not appear in the Windows Start menu, you can add one manually by right-clicking on the program icon and choosing 'Pin to Start Menu'. Locate the program icon by clicking 'Start > Computer' and browsing into the install folder (usually at "c:\program files\topo!").

After installing, please click on the following link to upgrade to the latest version of TOPO! State Series for Windows PCs:

If successful, please upgrade to the latest version.


If you have trouble running an update that you have downloaded from this website, try right-clicking on its icon and choosing 'Run as Administrator'. This will allow Windows Vista to properly update the application and related files."
