with the 70-272 Readiness Review test that comes with the MS Press book
Desktop applications? I continually get the error: "can't open locate the
specified database." I can't find any info through the Knowledge Base. Am
running Win XP Home and exceed the system requirements to run. Thanks for
any assistance.

though) If your using home you probably will get errors

I've got it running on xp professional but I wouldn't think that would make
a difference. I'll go ahead and try it on XP Home right quick to make sure
though.

Well it works just fine on a PIII800 running XP Home edition so.... did you
try uninstalling and reinstalling? Did you install it off of the autoplay
menu that pops up when you insert the cd?
