    I purchased from Turbocert the MCDST exam 70-271, 70-272. After clicking Load Training Course button I receive the folowing message:

    TEastDatabaseManager.CreateDatabase-CannotCreate Databasefile "C:\courses\mcdst\MCDST.tsx.

    I did search the disk and found the file in question. Uninstalled and reinstalled the program. Attempts to install the program on 4 different computers all running Windows Professional, resulted in the same error message.

    Turbosoft and Videocerts websites are nonexsistent and the support email address does not work. Does anyone have an address or phone number where I can contact these prople to have this issue resolved. I would greatly appreciate it.

    quick google shows me that turbocerts has bad customer service and has bd's...

    have a look on the cd for the file and see if you could copy and paste it.

    Hmm, I know you have tried running the software on XP but have you changed the compatibility mode on the Vista PC? Try putting it on Windows ME and make sure you run the software as the administrator.

    Yes I noticed after my purchase I could not get to the website or correspond with them by email. Yes is is compatible with Vista, how ever I have 4 other computers and they are running Windows XP Pro

    Do you know what the requirements are to run the software? You might need a particular version of the .NET framework installed.

    Also disable AV and Anti-Spyware apps when installing (long shot though!) :biggrin

    No, if you just right click on the shortcut there is a tab for compatibility. In there select Windows ME and also run as administrator.

    The only requiremens in the pamplet they sent are met. As far as the processor and memory things of that nature. It is simple unable to create the database that holds the pretest for the exam.

    I pretty much think they would tell me to fly a kite inasmuch as they would probably not be able to contact they either:(

    Reminds me of the time I ordered MCSE CBT labs off this guy on ebay way back when. Well, a couple of the disks were blank, had nothing on them whatsover. Another one contained a camcorder recording that was shot through the windscreen of a car driving down a forest road. A third one featured a documentary of two women talking about this business they were running. The last one was a newscast recorded off NBC or Fox or something like that.

    I was ripped off big time on that one.
