Run time error 76 followed by D:\Census\bi1881\about\1881brit.bmp
This occurs when the first regional disk has not been all copied to the D:\Census\bi1881 folder ; solution re-copy the first regional disk to the folder.

 
If there is still a problem ensure that the Graphic path reads-
\about\1881brit.bmp 

 
The initial backslash (above) is important on some systems.

This is a known problem, something to do with the install using old information in the registry. Un-installing does not cure the problem.
 
There is a fix available from the LDS (go to product support - you'll need to hunt around a bit, and fill in your details). The LDS will send you ‘err7fix.exe’, which fixes the problem.
 

Viewer (version 3) under XP any form of search the system went into an apparent I/O loop.

 

The software may have been trying to update the database for some reason. To overcome the problem set all files in the Census directory to ‘read only’.

 

Viewer runs slowly when accessing data sets on hard disk.
