Forgot Password?
If you don't remember your password, click here to have your password emailed to you.
What is the Vbox client or RTAcgi.exe or Installer.exe and why do I need it?
The Vbox client is the helper application that you will download with your first purchase of downloadable software. This application assists in downloading and decrypting your final product. This first time download is about 744 kilobytes in size.
What do I do if my Internet connection breaks during the download process?
Reconnect to the Internet and click on the Resume download icon on your desktop. Your download will pick up where it left off.
What if I have to interrupt the download process?
First, let it be noted that the installation files that we make available for download are, without exception, .exe files. If you find that you’ve downloaded any other type of file, keep your browser open, shut down any other programs running and attempt to download the file again.

The same strategy (repeating the download as outlined above) should be attempted if your system reports that the file you have just downloaded is corrupt.

Note: Download Managers are utilities that are used to speed up the download of a product over the internet. Unfortunately, these can be used only on static files or files that do not change all the time. Since our downloads contain individual licensing information they are dynamically created in real-time. Due to this, downloads using download managers may result in corrupt downloads. If you are experiencing a problem downloading your software and you are using a download manager, you should turn it off or close it until you can successfully download your purchased software.
Why should I backup the license sent with the software I downloaded?
In the event of a hard drive crash, you will want to be able to download and re-install the product. On the "Thank-you" screen is a recommendation to backup the license. By saving the license to a floppy, you will be able to download and re-install the product again in the event of a loss such as a hard drive crash. Unless otherwise stated, your license should allow for one additional re-installation.
Can I use a third-party download manager to download the software?
No. We have our own download manager that manages the download of the software. Please read our troubleshooting section for more information.
My browser does not support Java-script or I get errors when I click the download link on the Web Page.

What if I do not backup my information? How do I re-download the Installer.exe a.k.a. RTAcgi.exe?

I have purchased more than one product, yet I’ve received only one CD. Is this normal?
Yes, if you order more than one Examiner™ product at a time, we do typically place all the Examiner™ products you have ordered on one CD.

Note: Each product will need to be Activated separately.
I’ve downloaded one of your products, now I can’t find the installation file. What do I do?

You can always find the .exe for your product by going to System Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Vbox\Installers. System Drive is typically the C: drive.
Windows-based operating systems typically designate a default directory for downloads. This default can be easily changed. That means that any file you have downloaded could be just about anywhere on your hard drive. The following steps may help you find your missing download.

  • Go to any web site that offers downloads and start to download a file. Your system will likely default to the most recent folder location to which you have downloaded a file. You may find your installation file there if you have downloaded it recently. You can cancel the download process at this point if you chose.
  • Use the search capabilities of your operating system (they vary somewhat) to located all the files with a *.exe extension that were created or modified with few days of the date that you downloaded the file.
  • Check your confirmation received after placing the order to find the file name. Search your hard drive for that name.
Now that I have downloaded the installation file for a product can I rename it?
In all likelihood, you will be able to rename the installation file. We cannot guarantee that it will work correctly if you do so however. We recommend that you don’t rename our installation files.
I’ve downloaded and installed one of your products. How do I start it?
On the Start menu select Programs, CBT Vision, Examiner and the name of the product you wish to run.
Can I print out questions, answers and explanations from my test?
Once you have made your way through all the questions that comprise your exam session you will find yourself on the Item Review page. Each question number is listed on this page with a check box beside it. Simply check all the questions that you would like to print. Then click the "Print Selected Questions" button. The questions, possible answers, explanations and an indication of the correct answer(s) will be printed out on your default Windows printer.
What are the system requirements for Examiner and Practically Real?
The minimum system requirements are:
A screen resolution of 800 x 600 pixels, SVGA
16-bit color capability
32 megabytes of system RAM
A Pentium class processor
