Kurzweil can normally open the BKS file. I always use the DAISY file that way
because I don't like exploding BKS files in to multiple files per book, which
can make a mess of a folder and is far more annoying to look through for the
file with the correct extention.
It sounds like there is more of a problem than improper setup although that
seems to be part of the problem.

Robert,
Sorry, but I have no record of you asking this question in the Support
archives. Are you trying to use Kurzweil to open a BKS file that's on your
hard drive? If so, that won't work. What happens if you use the Online
feature in Kurzweil to retrieve and open the book? Does that work? If you
just click or hit Enter on an XML file, Windows will bring up Explorer by
default. You'll have to use the Open With Application command from the context
menu if you want it to open some other way. Also, the proper way to open a
DAISY book in Kurzweil, if the book is unpacked, is to use Kurzweil's Open
function to open the file with the .OPF extension. If you want Victor Reader
to open the book, you should have the full book, all four files for DAISY, in
the same directory, and once you launch Victor, it will pick them up via its
Bookshelf function.
If you can be specific about how you want to read the books, I can be
specific about how to go about doing it.
