Re: [lojban] Updated: vocabulary trainer for Windows

[david@shockey.com]

I downloaded and installed the new version of the vocabulary trainer and I'm experiencing some problems.  I am running Windows 98 SP2. 

The first thing that I noted was that the install program gave me messages that the files I was installing were older than the files that were already installed.  I installed the program once by choosing "Yes, keep the newer file" option and then again choosing the option, "No, write over the newer version of the file."  In both cases the program did not work when I tried to run it.

When I start the program, the window begins to fill in and I get a message that says, "Runtime error '5'  Invalid procedure call or argument."  

The state of the program at this point is as follows.  The drop down list at the top left says Combo1.  The program choices are: Multiple choice, Lojban -> English, and the Timed box is checked.  Also, "fly" shows in the text entry box and the status box has the following text "MemnonicBox asdf asdf asdf..."

Good luck.
