Troubleshooting
Using the "Help" button on any of the Slide Screens will open a standard windows help application that should guide you through most of your questions. For those questions that cannot be answered, contact information follows:
CD Based Help: The CD Based Help application runs separately from the course and opens in a window over the course. The standard windows help application should guide you through most of your questions. It is interactive and has an index and search feature to get you where you need to go. Also, this help file can be opened from the CD without the Distillation in Practice course running. To access the CD Base Help files, double click on the Help.hlp file on the CD.
