1) When the CD is placed in the CD drive, a window on the desktop will open - see A
Click on "Open folder to view files"
2) Another window will open - see B (view may vary depending on your computer settings)
3) In this new window (B) scroll down until you see the word and/or icon "phonics" - see C
Doulbe click on "the icon or the word phonics" to open the program



Another Option to open Alpha-Phonics Book on CD in Vista

2) click "All Programs"
3) click "Accessories"
4) click "Run"
5) click "Browse"
6) click the drive that the CD is located (D or E in most cases)
7) click "phonics" (window on the right)
