The main thing you need to know is that you need to be able to run Adobe Reader version 8 to get the most from the CD. You CAN still use them in Version 7 (more on that later), but version 8 really is much better.
Adobe 8 will only work properly on PCs with Windows XP with Service Pack 2. Service Pack 2 is a collection of updates, most people who are regularly using the internet will have these updates installed automatically by Microsoft. If you never use the internet, you may not have a fully up to date version of Windows XP and you may have some problems with Adobe 8.
How do you know if you have Service Pack 2?
Find My Computer on your desktop. Use the right mouse button to click on it, then select properties (with the left button). The window that comes up will tell you what your operating system is – it should say something like
Windows XP Home Edition
Service Pack 2
If it says Service Pack 1 or doesn’t mention a Service Pack at all, then you do not have the right spec for Adobe Reader 8 to work properly. You will still be able to use the CD with Adobe 7, but you won’t have the full range of text formatting features.
Filigree Fusion and Fantasy Floral were the first two CDs that we launched in October 2006. At the time, Adobe Reader version 7 was the latest version available, so these CDs work fine with Adobe Reader version 7 and 8.
