[Electronics-talk] capchas

[Sandy]

Hi List,

I once had Web Visum and loved it.  After I had a big computer problem, I 
somehow lost it and now I can't get it back.  The newer versions of Firefox 
aren't compatible with Web Visum, so I have deliberately attempted to keep 
version 3.502.  However, I always get an error message when I go to install 
Web Visum and I can't get anywhere posing a question to the Web Visum 
mailing list.
Any assistance is appreciated.


Sandy
