Am I
supposed to install the lessons?
a.
We do
not recommend saving the lessons on your hard drive. They are very large
files which take up a lot of memory. Should you choose to do so, we cannot
assist you in this process due to the liability issues involved.
If you
have any other problems please go to our website and click on Tech Support.
Occasionally QuickTime releases an update that will cause some customers to
have trouble viewing their CD. When this happens we will put a notice on
our website and post quick and easy step by step solutions.
