Cannot get Catalogue CD to run
Hey Guys
Just got a new computer with Windows 8.1 (to date: a shootin' great PITA to get familiar with.) My CD (PDF Format) which a lot of you folks have & use - doesn't want seem to want to run on this new set-up. Any suggestions (simple ones) how to get this going again. Thanks in advance Cheers JB

When you say catalog, do you mean the PET Porsche parts catalog? If so, it is available online for free: Porsche Original Parts Catalogue - Parts and Diagnostic Information - Porsche Service - Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG

JB, I've found it works far better if you click on the link to open it in your Adobe viewer. When I view it within my web browser it moves like molasses.

If when viewing in a browser do a Save As and it'll download the PDF locally for easier use / loading / offline access.
