I unpacked the book with the unpacked tool from bookshare and when it says do you want to open the book now then victor reader opens the book but after it says book loaded internet exployer says it can't display the page or it can't find it i guess it is saying and to refresh the page or check your settings, acting as if i am on the web instead of just open a book. I know I used to be able to put in my password with jurzweil and it would open the book but after i put in my password kurzweil won't open it because it can't find the format or it doesn't reconize it. I'm not a techy so can't explain it that well so Peter I hope I did okay, after open the book though, kuurzweil reconizes the extentions but for example, it converts the XML extention to RTF automatically. ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Scialli To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Janice Carter Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 7:31 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: have a little 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. ________________________ Peter M.
