Despite the assurances in the description and packaging that this works with Windows XP,
it emphatically does not.

The science one crashes every 1/2 hour or so.
The Carmen Sandiego one locks up within 5 minuntes every time.
I'm so annoyed I'm not going to even bother installing the last one.

This is complete garbage software. I wonder if they do any QA at all.

Perhaps it works with Windows 95 or something, but it certainly doesnt work with windows XP.

My testing:
I tried it on two completely different windows XP machines: one 3 years old with pentium 2 processor running XP pro, and one 2 months old running latest and greatest pentium 4 and XP home. Neither works. Both show the symptoms described above.

I checked the websites for patches for this software, and none are available.

I'm very frustrated with this software. They claim to work on Windows XP, but it locks every 3 minutes. The online help is useless. I've updated all the drivers and made sure everything is up to date. I may never purchase anything from "The Learning Company" again based on their less than spectacular Q&A. Save yourself the frustration and buy something from a company that cares about its customers.

Installs fine, but doesn't run on Windows 2000. It pops into the program and back out.

There website has no real help, and there is no phone, or email support for the product.

Complete trash, with no support. Very frustrating.

These software titles are great...very educational and fun, and the kids love them!! It works just fine on Windows XP..you just have to know how to work a computer!
