I really wanted this to work. But even with my higher-end XP machine, Blio installed but won’t run. I can’t even figure out why, it gives no useful error message for me to look at. I’m disappointed. We’re still an XP campus, as are many others out there. I have a laptop with Vista so may try it on that one, but that won’t help my students and will lead me to give a very poor review of the product in the end.</span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif";color:#1F497D'>Susan Kelmer</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif";color:#1F497D'>Lab Coordinator/AT Specialist</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif";color:#1F497D'>St. Louis Community College @ Meramec</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif";color:#1F497D'>314-984-7951</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
