Sounds like the same problem I had, it is caused by some incompatibility between the O/S and the Active CGM graphic files. My problem was with the 1998 -2000 9-5 W.I.S.
Solution to problem #1 (unviewable files) is easy. Just follow instructions on the link below. This requires two separate downloads, first is instaneous, second takes around a minute on a High Speed connection. Although this is described as an "Alpha fix" don't be alarmed, I have been using it for 18 months now with no problems.
This problem is not limited to Saab W.I.S. If you decode the URL you will see it comes from Polk County, Iowa and is posted so individuals can view Geographic Informaiton System (GIS) files of land parcels which are stored in Active CGM format.
As for problem #2- No Index, all I can say is "Welcome to the W.I.S." These CD's can be frustrating to use
