Avoid at all costs

I agree with the reviewer who urges you to stay away from this and other Scholastic products if you run Windows XP.I received School Days and Spooky Mansion today but can't get either to run on XP, even though I am generally quite adept at working with computers.I will never buy another product from this company, even if it works well on XP.These products say they work with "Windows 95, 98, 2000 or later."Don't believe it....

Not Windows XP Compatible

I just tossed this one in the trash. It looked like a good game for my girls but unfortunately Scholastic doesn't believe in updating or supporting their products.

Even though the outer box says Windows XP, copyright dates inside the jewel case make it obvious this is really pre-XP software that has not been updated.Since we use our computer for other things besides games, the only way my son can play is to wait for 5-10 minutes' worth of switching to an...

Great Learning Tool

My children love the I-Spy games and they will choose it over almost any other computer game they own. This one is great because it is almost like a scavenger hunt. Kids learn a lot from it, but I still like the original Treasure Hunt better just because it actually seems to have one central theme instead of the randomness of the school days....
