Interesting David. I bought the CD when it first appeared (I think via
the internet) and it loaded onto my PC fine (windows XP then). I
printed off all the books with no trouble. Perhaps the problem may be a
subsequent faulty copying of the original discs?
regards,
Martyn

Indeed what a resource, thank you!
I originally bought the CD from the Lute Society but had to send it
back because it didn't work on a Mac, so it had more problems than
were quite justifiable right from the start.
BTW have you noticed the heretical drawing of a *lute* player on the
titlepage of the Mudarra book?! Could it be by Dominguos Romano? He
was one of the previous owners and signed a later page in ink.
Best wishes,
David
