Then use a computer where it will work, you may need to go to the library.
When new operating systems come out, there are usually glitches in what will work with them at first. The Saunder's book was published before your new version MAC was created.

Best of luck to you, but you really need to find a computer that will accept the CD to practice with.

I had the same problem but my 'ole G4 isn't new!! I got it 3 years ago. I ended up having to use my husband's PC for Saunders. If you use Kaplan qbank (just an extra FYI), your computer won't let you do any of the alternative format that involve putting in order. You can do the dosage calc, hotspot and others, just not the order ones.

What I did to have mines run was right click on the icon and run program as aministrator, then you will get something asking you if you want it to run, select yes and then it works fine. You do have to do this every time you use it to get it to work. I have a Compaq and it is new and thats what I do and I'm able to use my Saunder's Cd. Hope this helps

Normally I'd make a mac joke here, but as you need help I'd recommend you look into this Mac program that allows you to run a simulated instance of windows in order to launch the program:
