Sorry to break it to you, but that software isn't going to run on Vista. People have hard enough times trying to get XP stuff to run on Vista.

it was written back for the 486 chip set of computers. unless you slowed your computer down that stuff wouldn't really run to well on the Pentium 1 computers of the late 1990s. It was fun running old computer games on the newer chipsets, you could start a level and die in a game in under the blink of an eye. that was great.

you have 3 options with this software

1. go buy a very old computer off ebay and hope it works so you can use this software
2. go buy a copy of some typing software written for Vista
3. learn to type without the software (and use the cd as a coaster)

Sounds like you need a new older computer or something to run it
