First of all. This product works on WIN XP and WIN VISTA 64. Tested it on both operating systems.
My son likes it and is very happy with it. It gives him some valuable math practice and he enjoys doing it.

4.0 out of 5 stars wonderful and educational, January 15, 2005

I am a mom and I think this is a great program. I can enter my daughter's math homework to have her work on the exact problems that she is studying at school. She can also work on a level system, so that she can move up as she gets to know more of the answers. It is easy to program. The games are fun too.

Contrary to what the Amazon product page says, this game is not Windows Vista compatible (and therefore not Windows 7 compatible). Amazon has a license from Knowledge Adventure (aka Jumpstart) to manufacture and sell these CDs. They are printing the systems requirements incorrectly on the CD insert as well on the web page. After installing the game and finding it doesn't work, I called Knowledge Adventure tech support. They stated that anything that was Windows 2000 compatible will not run on Windows Vista or Windows 7, and that they have had repeated problems with Amazon selling these items inaccurately to the point where they're considering revoking the manufacturing agreement. Tech support did the best they could, walking me through everything to try in the hopes of tricking the system into playing the game, but nothing worked. They said they have updated their Math Blaster software to work on the current versions of Windows and recommend that as an alternative product.
