I first notified El-Ariss of these problems over a year ago, yet their website still has the same ineffective patch. Worse, the dictionary is still distributed all over Cairo (and probably elsewhere). | | | Drabdulla Qatar Local time: 05:59 Arabic to English + ... The same Problem | Aug 18, 2007 |
The CD rom is not working on windows vista. There was no response from company though I tried to conatct them many times. | | | Joehitti Lebanon Local time: 22:59 Arabic to English + ... Al-Mawrid 2002 CD problem | Jan 9, 2008 |
I bought the dictionary (it came with the CD) a couple of years ago. The book contained a large chunk of missing pages. It took me seveal months and a lot of threatening to discredit the dictionary and the house, and I had people on the ground (in Beirut) pressuring them, and finally they agreed to exchange the bad book with a good one (but the process required people carrying the old book back and going in person to pick up the new one...).

Then I tried installing the CD (Windows XP - English), but I get one error message at first (Can't find SHELL.DLL), but that does not prevent the program to load and install. But when I try to open it, I get another error message (can't see or find ...maw02.exe). I gave up on the CD a while back, then I found it again and tried again, and the same problem. I found your exchange and thought I'd add my own two cents worth to see if there is a way around these issues. I downloaded a new SHELL.DLL , thinking something was wrong with my own system, but it did not fix the problem. What a typical "screw the customer" attitude by this typical Arab monopoly. And they have the gall to talk about customer service. Joe Hitti ▲ Collapse | |

Hello Joe, I think you need to download the patch file to run the dictionary under Windows XP SP2. You can download it from http://www.elariss.com/index.php Regards Amal | | | It worked for me.. | Jan 11, 2008 |
I have the 2002 version. It worked fine with Windows XP Home Edition. Under Windows XP SP2, it only worked after I run the patch. Amal | | | HAB Local time: 04:59 Danish to Arabic Mawrid win xp SP2 non arabic os | Apr 21, 2008 |
I know that this topic is quite old, but better late than never) I had this problem as well, 2 things to check: 1) (for win xp service pack 2) get the hotfix KB884020 2) that arabic (lebanon) is the default language for non-unicode programs. that should do the trick regards HAB | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Problems with Al-Mawrid 2005 CD-ROM on non-Arabic OS Trados Business Manager Lite | Create customer quotes and invoices from within Trados Studio
