Before you buy, look at the makers support site, which lists tons of problems: www.disney.go.com/cdromsupport. I have sooo many programs on my 2 computers, and only very very rarely a program crashes. On my WinXP the Disney Software does install, but does not start. Under Win2000 it starts and crashes after a few minutes. Totally unbelievable for a name like Disney. I had the same problems with the old Disney Timon and Pumba Jungle Games, which only runs under very old Windows versions, so old, that I forgot which windows version it was.

Our daughter is 3 and plays these games over and over she is loving it! Works great on our computer and never crashes. The games are shape recognition, matching and following directions and other simple fun things that keep them wanting to play more and more and the entire time she is learing!! Love it!!

My 4 yr. old daughter loved this gift. She played with it almost everyday for a year (until we got the Kindergarten version). As a teacher, I thought it was excellent for learning and practicing essential preschool skills.

I ordered this because it said it was compatible with OS X, however it will not install because it must be run in Mac Classic mode, and my computer (like many OS X models) doesn't have Classic anymore. Very sad children!

This is really, really good software. Even the youngest preschool computer users will be able to navigate through these games and have fun - and learn at the same time!

High quality graphics, fun (and not annoying to adults) sounds, and lots of different activities to keep little ones interested and busy and having fun.

I highly recommend this software. We have it installed on our PC and it runs very well.

This is a great learning tool for Pre-school aged children. My daughter is 3 and we work with this about 3 times a week. She is also a child that does not watch television, so this is a welcome change in pace, and she is learning all the while. She loves the piglet painting game, and rabbits counting game. She also loves the spanish section. I think it's great for all children around the 3 range.

made for XP and lower OS'S. Thats about 2 operateing systems ago !!! its windows 7 now,then was Vista then XP.software crashes newer computers with script errors.game will load but the next time you go to play it it crashes. Disturbing disney is so far behind with software.

Long story short - this bundle is lots of fun for kids and lots of headache for parents. The games are great. They are actually very educational and appropriate for my 3 year old's computer skills. The games are fun; even my six year old loves them. Unfortunately, they seem to be dependent on a very specific graphics driver. The games run ok on my Vista system - after totally crashing it right after install - if you make sure to exit the game properly every time. Otherwise, Vista crashes and you have to uninstall the software to get it to stop booting in safe mode. The Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse games run better on XP but I couldn't get the Stanly game to load there at all. We'll keep this package because the kids love it but over all I'm VERY disappointed that Disney would license such a mess.

#1. Not Windows 7 compatible.
#2. OLD, OLD, OLD technology and files that comprise the software. Could mess up your computer.
#3. Does not save or keep track of where you were last time. So, unless you plan to sit down for 4 hours and do the whole cd you start over each time. My kid gets bored redoing the same stuff.
#4. Way to hard to navigate for a 3-4 year old. Cannot find the exit. Errors out on exit.
Disney needs to hire some real software developers and create usable software. Adults have a hard time with this.
