 Question 6: I am working in Windows 98 or in Windows ME and when I run the program I get "Error no. 28".

 Answer 6: Usually it is a font problem and the user has installed more fonts than Windows allows. Please go to the Control Panel - Fonts. Try and open any random font and see if it looks OK. If you cannot see a font properly, we suggest you get rid of your excess fonts until you can view a font properly. If this does not resolve the problem, uninstall and reinstall the Responsa program,

If this does not work, please contact us with your information of what the problem is and your CD ROM serial #.
