Essentials CD on Mac

Figured this was as good a place as any to post this...

Has anybody experienced difficulties in using the Essentials CD on a Mac? Every time I try to open one of the Chp PDF files, it opens and just freezes...

Anybody know what this is all about/how to fix it? Going to be tres annoyed if I have to resume bringing home my textbook every night...

I managed to open it on school by coying the contents from the CD onto USB and just opening the pdfs. Have never tried the actual CD on a Mac though...

Eh, well if I copy the PDF of an individual chapter to the computer and take the CD out, still doesn't work, so the above method probs won't work ;_;
