sp2 problem

[John Baker]

I AM in the XP class for my certification. The book we use is from
Microsoft Press, The Academic Learning Series for XP Professional. The book
came with a CD with prep material. One of the things on it is a test prep
question bank. The damn thing won't run on SP2! Any one have any thoughts
on this?

With as little information as you gave, I'd have to SWAG the answer.

Enable ActiveX on local media.

Do start->run->appwiz.cpl. Does that bring up add/remove programs?

By 'software' are you referring to add/remove programs or a different
function?
