I had a similar experience as Chris in attempting to get into the Philmont
Interactive Ranger CD.
Only I stilll haven't been able to access the program.
I've sent two emails to the address on their webe site with no response.
According to their web site all you have to do is enter the disc code and it
genreates a 20 day access code.
Well it hasn't worked yet and they don't seem to give a hoot.
Will I buy it? No thanks. I'll use my copy for target practice.
Philmont would be better served by not sending it out and saving the
postage.

" My first impressions were that it was a little hard to get going. It
installed with no problem but registering it was something else. There were
no instructions packaged with it and I repeatedly tried to register online
via a message prompt and got an error message saying the Server could not
be
reached. I finally opened my browser and went to the companies website and
searched for answers there. You are given two options, one is to get a
20-day trial and the other is to purchase it outright. I wondered if I did
the 20-day trial would it give me the option to buy it at the end (it has
no
further instructions). I finally called someone in sales who explained it
to
me and yes it will give you the option later. I eventually found out how to
get the "key" code to get the software working and spent some time with it
yesterday."
