Tech 2 Purchase

That is all I received as well.

The "cracked" key is on the small disk, along with the "How to install" video.

The install video goes really fast. I just followed along and paused the video after every step and the install went pretty easy. It shows you step by step how to install the software and even how to install the "Key".

The plain white disks are marked 1 and 2 but they had mine reversed in the sleeves.

Disk 1 is the one that has the "Auto Run" application on it. The video will show you when to install the 2nd disk and then later the 3rd (small) disk.

Thanks. My white disks were swapped too. I need to create a virtual machine and run xp on it before I can go any further.

On Win 7 I just installed it and then after it was installed I told it to always open in compatibility mode as XP.

Worked fine. Not sure if Win 10 has that option as I didn't try installing it on my newer laptop.

Mine gets stuck on the version of internet explorer because my pc has edge on it instead.

What's a virtual machine George?

Its software that allows you to run an older operating system virtually on newer software. Like in my case I need to run XP virtually on windows 10 in order to use the tis2000 software.

Ah, I see...

Weird, my laptop wasn't even hooked up to the internet while I was installing the software. There was no need for internet so it didn't matter what web browser or version was on the computer.

I am going to wipe the PC back to factory and try again. Pisses me right off!

Sorry it's giving you such trouble.

I actually thought it was going to be more difficult than it was. Mine went relatively smooth, but mine was also Win 7.

Ya, I think windows 7 is the last version that will do xp virtual machine but I could be wrong
