This is great! Thanks for the info! (Now if Disney would only issue post-2010 DVDs)

Keith,
This is an excellent tip. You may want to move it to another Forum than "Buy/Sell/Trade." I'd suggest "Resources & Links" since it is a resource. That way, once this discussion is bumped off the home page, it will be easier to find in the future.
Yours in collecting,
Tom Wilson

This sounded promising but I haven't been able to get it to work. Once I set my system date to 2010 and disconnected from the internet to ensure the clock didn't get reset and corrupt any files, I was able to access the contents of the installation CD but nothing happens when Autorun is selected or the setup file is double clicked.
The link for the Adobe Air installation is no longer valid, so I searched for it and found a download site
(https://adobe-air.en.softonic.com/download)
which is a minefield of confusion with links trying to install a myriad of programs. I did manage to get the file: AIRSDK_Windows.zip, within which the release notes designate it as:
ADOBE AIR SDK RELEASE NOTES Version 50.0.1.1
...but it does not have any setup or 'exe' files that I can find, so I don't understand what to do with it.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Adobe Air is no longer supported and the links are dead. We subscribed to the magazine for over 20 years and when the CD collection came out we donated the 240+ magazines we had so that we could just enjoy the editions on our computer.
To me it is near criminal of National Geo to have not updated the installer for the CD's or made it available online for people who had been subscribers.
