On the box it is printed XP compatible. But it is not. I tried XP compatibility wizard. But it still does not work.
The seller "Best Bet sales" did not refund.

If your computer runs Vista, you may want to pass up this software. We tried installing it on our computer and it doesn't work. I tried several different compatibility settings without luck.

As much as my daughter liked this software initially, she quickly fell out of love with it as it doesn't have longevity. I guess most science software can't but I still feel like it wasn't worth the cost when I could have went to a few free webpages for interactive science programs. I also think this software is for 6-9, not 7-11yrs old. I don't think I would recommend it unless your child has no access to the internet.
