Piece of Junk!

My son was dying to play this game. I can't install it on ANY of my operating systems and I have them all!I keep getting an error. What's worse is it installed it's Brodcast dssagent on my computers and it won't let me delete the file or folder.Every time I log off, I get an error that the program isn't responding.Saying that it is Windows compatible is very misleading.What a waste of time. Don't get this CD!...

if you have windows xp - don't waste your money

my daughter is interested in the game, but as we have windows xp, she cannot play the game.i have contacted the learning company and have tried to install it using the windows program compatibility wizard and the 16-bit version.nothing works.the learning company's reply is that it will not work on windows xp - end of story.and i'm out of luck!...

Correction - doesn't run on XP still...

It turns out I was wrong.... the 32 bit version definitely doesn't work on XP and the 16 bit version starts but faults in several places on XP even with the compatibility settings to run like 9x .... if you want to use this software seems 95/98/ME & NT4 seem to be the limit for now. Sorry !...

A bit of fun and learning with a hitch.....

The kids seem to love this learning software.My child keeps saying DW is silly or naughty for not eating properly, so I suggest the message does reach the mark.Yes there is a bit of squirting pesky gophers with water from a hose (note neither the hose or any other object is used to strike or injure the pests) so don't panic violence is not the theme and with proper parental guidance this software is certainly not a negative role model.You could certainly do worse.Re it doesn't work on a modern OS...

Pity it doesn't run on any modern OS

Just don't make the same mistake I did - only 2 of these Arthur games actually support NT/2000/XP. So unless you have the archaic 95/98 OS, fuhgedaboutit. Pity, because our son loves to play these at our local library....
