readiness review suite not functional

i just bought the MCSA/MCSE training kit book for the 291 exam (windows
server 2003 network infrastructure). the cd that comes with it includes the
readiness review suite which indicates that it includes practice tests.
however, when i install it on my xp home machine. i get the following
message when i run it:

could not connect to specified database.

and then just gives me the empty "readiness review suite" application with
no test.

i tried it on an xp pro machine and a server 2003 machine and it runs fine.
any idea what the problem is?

don't have files named in the patch (eg. questionlistgen.js).

you know.. you're a bit annoying.. Please do us all a favor and stop

1. You need to learn how to thread your responses.
2. That text is part of his newsreader's configuration. Real
newsreaders allow configuration of things such as default signatures,
default attribution text and default cc: commentary.
3. Grow up.

WTF? first time in Usenet? never tried to config your newsreader..OOPS!
it's OE, so chances are the defaults are still in place. good on ya
though Darren! ya didn't use the web version. that makes you _one_ step
up from a complete loser.

I personally hope this has increased my level from "a bit annoying" to
"really annoying". now kindly do the needfull, down then across...

i personally vouch for Neil. He does spend the time to type the word
"babbling" in each and every post that he makes. he will try to confuse you
by making you think they it's automatically configured - but he lies. he
types "babbling" along with all the funny numbers and letters at the
begining of the post. that's what's special about Neil.
