This months issue has the 2002/3 electoral roll on the cd. Diane |

Got mine this morning too. Dissappointed that yet again practically all of the stuff on the CD is totally useless to those of us using Macs - including the invaluable electoral roll. Zoe |

Has anyone attempted to use the electoral roll? I downloaded it but can't get it to work. Would appreciate any advice please. Jill |

I didn't get it at first, but followed the instructions on page 70 of the magazine. You have to put enough info in to start with, then the start button to the right of the name search box goes green, then you can press it to start looking. Hope that helps Diane |

How do you get copies then. I assume its from subscribing to a magazine? |

You don't have to subscribe. WH Smiths or similar should have it on sale in the next week. But if you decide to subscribe it's a lot cheaper (30%). And at the moment you get a free book worth £10. Where I live there isn't a Smiths and I would have to get it ordered so it's a lot easier for me. You get a disc every months with different programmes on it. £4.99 if you buy in the shop just over £11 a quarter if you subscribe Diane |

Hi Diane, Gosh - it's hard work trying to post on this board! I'll probably end up with 3 messages in a minute. I think I must have mucked up the installation - still can't get a green button despite filling in every box. Also, when I try to close down it says something like UKID has caused an error I'll uninstall and try again. Jill |

Well, I've tried 3 times in install. Having done so and restarted PC, when I open the program I get a small box with ICD_92SE at the top; a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it and alongside is written uk.dat. Underneath is a box with a clickable OK. Don't know what to do now so will probably give up to it! Jill |

Thanks for that, Diane. I'll give that a go. I ain't very good with this technology! Jill |
