  The symptoms are:
 

When you click on a subject, from either the navigation bar or selecting from the data category window, the window flickers, and displays an extra autodata icon in the task bar.

       
  Solution: Changing the compatibility mode to run in Windows 2000, fixes the problem.
    How to set the compatibility mode:
    1. You must install Autodata CD .
    2. Right-click the Autodata icon on the desktop, then click Properties.
    3. Click the Compatibility tab, and under Compatibility mode click Run this program in compatibility mode for.
    4. In the drop-down list, click Windows 2000.
    5. Click Apply.
     
    Next time you run Autodata CD from the desktop icon, the problems should be fixed. If symptons persist please contact your Software support department.
