Vintage Radio DVD-ROM
Hi
Can anybody tell me how to get this DVD to work on my laptop! Up until a few weeks ago it was working ok, but now only the start page loads and when you try to select a radio type nothing happens. My laptop is running the latest update of WIN10 and Adobe reader dc. Any help appreciated. Mike |

Re: Vintage Radio DVD-ROM
If the disc is faulty see the Life Time Warranty on the support page, it can be replaced for a modest handling fee.
https://www.service-data.com/page.php/support On the same support page it suggests taking a backup or working copy of the disk, it’s much easier if the files are on the hard drive rather than keep using the DVD.

Re: Vintage Radio DVD-ROM
Hi
Thanks for the reply's. The disc is ok and I have had it installed on the hard drive for a couple of years and it worked fine. It is only recently that it stopped working (hard drive & DVD). Regards Mike |

Re: Vintage Radio DVD-ROM
This sounds like an update has disabled the option to open local files. The solution is here https://www.service-data.com/page.php/support.

Re: Vintage Radio DVD-ROM
Do you mean that you can open the index but it no longer links to the individual sheets when you click on them?
ISTR Paul has mentioned this in the recent past. https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...ad.php?t=96738 Cheers Mike T
