5.0 out of 5 stars Go, Diego, Go! Great Dinosaur Rescue (PC Games)
My son is 4 years old and he loves this game. It wasnt working at first when installed on the computer but I did just as was advised in one of the reviews and it works perfect. Its a great game. My 6 year old daughter loves to play it also.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hope you didn't throw it away! The fix for the "white screen" problem
I had the same "white screen" problem described by the previous reviewers. However, a bit of googling, and I found the fix:

After you install the game, don't launch the game yet.

1. Open Windows Explorer on your PC and look for:
C:\Program Files\Activision Value\Go Diego Go - Great Dinosaur Rescue\res

2. Rename the "res"...

This review is from: Go, Diego, Go! Great Dinosaur Rescue (CD-ROM)
I had the same "white screen" problem described by the previous reviewers. However, a bit of googling, and I found the fix:

After you install the game, don't launch the game yet.

1. Open Windows Explorer on your PC and look for:
C:\Program Files\Activision Value\Go Diego Go - Great Dinosaur Rescue\res

2. Rename the "res" part to "Minigames" so that it looks like this:
C:\Program Files\Activision Value\Go Diego Go - Great Dinosaur Rescue\Minigames

Voila! Now the game works even after you click on the "entrance" door.

I decided to buy this game for my 4-year-old brother, had the same white screen problem, fixed it, but he went through the game twice in 70 minutes. The game it self is pretty fun, but if you're looking for a long game don't buy this game.

This product was purchased as a Christmas gift for my 4 year old grandson. It wouldn't load in either our main computer nor our lap top. He was disappointed as he loves dinosaurs.

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING!!! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!, July 27, 2009
= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Go, Diego, Go! Great Dinosaur Rescue (CD-ROM)
WARNING!!! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!

Cannot get past the initial menu. Once you go start the game you get the white screen of death. Nothing there. Went to activisionvalue web site and they don't even list this as one of their games. Was hoping to find a patch but no luck. What an absolute waste of money! They should not be able to get away with this. My daughter was so looking forward to playing this. Pure disappointment. Now I have to try and return it where i bought it but with the return policies the way they are, i can only get the same thing again. With the same white screen of death.

We had the same "white screen" problem that the other reviewer mentioned. We were never able to get past the first scene. My son is so disappointed because he was really looking forward to playing it. What a waste of money, into the garbage it will have to go :(

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Be Warned, May 29, 2009

This review is from: Go, Diego, Go! Great Dinosaur Rescue (CD-ROM)
I purchased this for my 3 year old boy. He LOVES Diego!!!

The game has an ominous "white screen" issue. In other words,
it doesn't work past the opening screens. The game is basic *.swf
code, but there seem to be major errors with that code. : (

I called Activision, and they said that 2K supported the game, but
they no longer did. Activision did point out that the game was an
Activision value title, so maybe their Value section supported it.

I wish I wouldn't have purchased this game. After calling 2k they stated some basic fixes that I know were general company "soft skills" suggestions, but in reality, this game is absolutly terrible. Activision really disgraced themselves on this PC release. They do tend to port console based games very poorly, but this port was the final straw.

Please know that I am never an angry custormer. This experience really damaged the integrity of Activision in my eyes.

There's more to life than Guitar Hero, and "Activision, you have your company name represented on more titles than just Guitar Hero". Please get with the program and support a game directly for more than 6 months.
