Hi, I have the 1881 census CDs which worked on my computer previously but now when I try to access any information on them I get this error message:
Run-time error: 2147319779(8002801d)
Automation error
Application-defined or object-defined error.
I installed the Viewer on my old computer and it works fine there so it has to be something that is missing on this computer. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it twice but get the same message each time.
Hopefully someone can come up with an answer. I know the 1881 census is online on the LDS site but I would like to know why the CDs won't work on my computer.

Are you running Windows XP on your new computer? There are some
application programs that will not function properly under XP. I believe
there is an update or patch (New reader program?) available to fix your
problem, but I can't recall which list I saw it on. Perhaps someone else
running XP can help, if that is your OS.
Hello Charlie,
Sorry I should have said that I have Windows ME and that the program did run
fine when I first installed it. I hadn't used it for quite awhile because
of the online version so don't know when it started having a problem.

Viewer 4.02 works fine with Windows XP and 1881 census CDs. Those who
purchased 1881 CDs early may have Viewer 2 or 3.
