 Rating:  - CD Rom not useful !?I bought this book some time ago, way cheaper, and the CD worked fine with Windows XP, but that's not the case with Vista; you can only see part of the question, which obviously makes it hard to guess the answer. It's pretty frustrating. I tried the compatibility wizard and a few other tricks to no avail. I emailed the company and this was their reply: From: Delmar Help (delmar.help@cengage.com) Hello, This software is not compatible with newer versions of Windows ...

Many review questions are confusing or badly worded, both in the book and on the practice exams on the CD. On some review questions, the subject is never even brought up in the text, sending me to Google to find the answer or guessing the best I can. Also, some topics seemed unnecessary to know, or were repeated. Very confusing and frustrating!
