I haven't received the email with my ID number and product key

On some occasions the email may have gone to your junk mail or may have been blocked by your isp (Internet service provider) or spam filters. Please be sure to check your junk mail folders. Please email us and include your name, the product you purchased and on what date you purchased it and we will contact you with new details to access your products.

I get an error when I try to download a file

Firstly check the security settings in your web browser. If you are using Internet Explorer then you can click on the 'tools' menu in your browser, then click on 'Internet options', then click on the 'security' tab. Click the 'custom level' button, then in the reset drop box select medium then click the reset button. Now click 'OK' and click yes on the pop up box to accept these settings if you are prompted. Click 'OK'. Now click the 'default level' button then click on 'OK'. Now you are likely to be able to download your files.

Another cause for this is that when you are prompted to either 'save' or 'open' the file you are clicking on 'open'. ALWAYS select 'save' as this will save the file to your computer where you can unzip the file and play/open it correctly.

I get an error when I try to play or open a file

Firstly, when you are prompted to either 'save' or 'open' the file when you are downloading it ALWAYS select 'save' as this will save the file to your computer where you can unzip the file and play/open it correctly. If you click 'open' you may find a program like Itunes or media player will try to open the file and play it. This will often cause errors as you first have to unzip the file.......then play/open it.

When you have 'saved' a .zip file to your hard drive it is a good idea to unzip the file using the inbuilt unzip function of Windows or by using a specialised program such as WinZip. Once the file has been extracted it will play providing you have the correct program/player/reader. See below for further details on this.

The video files won't play properly

Most of the video files are in XviD format as this provides the best balance of quality and compression. You may be required to also download and install the XviD codec (which is in your download section if applicable). Once installed your videos will play in media player. If this does not solve your problem be sure to also read I get an error when I try to play or open a file.

The audio files won't play properly

The audio files are in mp3 format. They will play through a program like Media Player or Itunes on your computer. If you want to play them on a normal CD player then you must convert them (in many cases) to a .wav file use an mp3 to wav converter (there are plenty of free ones on the net.....a search in google will give you plenty of choices). If this does not solve your problem be sure to also read I get an error when I try to play or open a file.

I can't read the document files

The document files are in pdf format. You must have a pdf viewer to view them. Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free pdf viewer that can be downloaded from the internet. If this does not solve your problem be sure to also read I get an error when I try to play or open a file.
