This review is from: Mayo Clinic Family Health 3.0 (PC CD Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

The software is intended to run on Win95 or Win3.1 which is not clearly stated in its description. You can get it to run on WinXP but you'll have to jump through some hoops to get there. It needs Quicktime for Win95 which is included on the CD. Uninstall any existing Quicktime first. You'll need to copy the entire CD contents so it appears in your root drive. Then you have to right-click on the Quicktime installer, the setup.exe installer and possibly the Autorun.exe file and change the compatibility property settings to tell XP to run it as a Win95 application. I was able to use 1024x768 and 32bit color. When you're all done, reboot and try installing the software.

I hope this is useful so that you know what you are buying. I didn't but the price was right for this older software.
