Go back to the shop where you got Sunday's paper and ask if they have a spare one from Saturday as you lost yours on the way home

Thanks Kered - had already tried that but they return no-sales when they take delivery of the next day's papers........

...I have installed the CD rom on my mac, but it just won't load - it just says 'loading.....' but never does! has anyone else had this problem and been able to sort it out?

I can't get mine to work on a PC. It loads OK and shows all of the websites in a really well organised way but it never goes to the site when I click on the link. I've tried it with lots of different sites with single clicking, double clicking, holding shift down and then clicking etc. but I just can't get it to work. Has anyone else had this problem and solved it? I'm using the 64 bit version of Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8.

Hi, I have just tried mine after reading your post & the one above it.
I had no problems but I am using vista.
The only thing I would say is that I did not install it, only ran it which may make a difference.

Thanks for letting me know, that's quite interesting to know that the disc does actually work. I'll give it a try on my old XP machine and see if it works on that. It could just be an incompatibility with Windows 7, or specifically with the 64 bit version. I only ran mine by the way, I couldn't see how to install it unless you just meant to copy it all onto a folder on the hard drive?

I've just tried it on my XP machine and it works fine so there must be an incompatability issue with Windows 7, or maybe just the 64 bit version of it. I have tried starting it in various compatibility modes in Windows 7 but without any luck so far. If you click on any link that needs to make your internet browser open it doesn't work. If anyone has any other ideas about how to get it working I'd be very interested to hear about them.
