I had purchased the Alim software and it worked fine with my old computer, but the new one is a 64 bit with 64 bit Operating System, but Alim doesn't work on it. Is there a 64bit version of Alim Software? I get the following messagte:
"The program or feature "\??\G:\Setup.exe" cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact teh software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available."

I have an Alim 4.51. How does this differ from Alim 6.0? Is it possible to upgrade from the Alim I have to Alim 6.0?
Several weeks ago I put in an order for an upgrade and asked that I be contacted. I have not been contacted. I also tried to call the numbers on the site, but the numbers were not operating. I am a returning customer.
Thank you.

I am afraid we have never sold the previous versions of the Alim and therefore cannot comment from experience on the difference between the two. We have no request on file for an upgrade, but there is no upgrade path from previous version to v.6

Thank you for youe e-mail. It is possible that I have misunderstood the general ease with which one can upgrade Media Player - but it is also the case that I am experiencing problems. This is because my home computer is not connected to the internet. I have access to the net at my local library, where I am now, but I do not think that I am able to download the required upgrade here at the public library and take it home on a floppy disk. Yesterday I bought a disk for a nominal price at a computer shop and which was meant to supply me with the upgrade I need, but I am still without success. In any case I shall be taking my computer in to this shop so that they can install for me the arabic alphabet support file. I have precise details of the file which is needed so I am hopeful of success. If you know details of the file I need to ugrade Media Player it might be helpful for me to Know such details when I take my computer in to the shop,please. I have Windows 2000 Professional. In any case, I hope that I shall be your customer in the future (inshAllah).

who is F Malik and M Asad who contributed to the translation of the holy quran on the latst version of aalim?? what are their credentials?? where were they educated???
Is it not preferable to stick to the traditional translations especially since this cd is extensively used by students of theology and it woould therefore be advisable to use translations which are acceptable in the academic field
Personally I would feel more comfortable with a translation by Muhsin Khan of the International Islamic University of Madina KSA. Plse advise thanks
By Zuleigha on

I have bought the Alim CD-ROM (not from SimplyIslam.com) and I have been very disappointed. I have Windows 2000 Professional installed on my computer and I find that it is not possible to play the recitations of the Holy Qur'an with out upgrading my Media Player, which I understand would involve additional expense. This is a potential problem which they are careful not to tell you about on the outside of the box before you buy. It's not until you open the box that you find a red slip and a yellow pamphlet telling you that you can not play the recitations with out upgraded Media Player. It makes one wonder if the manufacturers of Alim and the purveyors of Media Player programmes aren't in cahoots together. I intend to buy the Islamic Scholar CD-ROM to use instead as I understand from the technical information on the SimplyIslam web site that I will not have similar problems. If like me you don't have upgraded Media Player on your computer: Be Warned!
