This product is not for Windows XP. I purchased this only because the product information indicated that it would work on XP, only to find out that the product information on the box itself does not include XP. So, I returned it - before opening it, thankfully. Amazon, read closer!

When this collection first came out in 1999, it was also available on a single DVD-ROM, but I passed that over since I did not have a suitable drive at the time. But the multiple-disk nature of the CD-ROM set made it too clumsy to use regularly. The DVD-ROM version was obviously ahead of its time and was dropped for subsequent issues of the map collection.

I call on National Geographic to reissue this collection, brought up-to-date and issued on DVD-ROM for Windows XP and newer operating systems!

This item only works on Windows 95, 98, ME or 2000. Very glad that I didn't open it and am returning it immediately. Other National Geographic software is PC and Mac and runs on current systems. This information should be listed in the item description. Unless you have an antique computer or an emulator DON'T BUY THIS!

This product should be taken off the market. It only works properly with ancient versions of Windows, and cannot be made to work with modern Windows.

Great product - has too many discs and is not easy to install so you can use it without having the discs. Our copy came with 2 of the same discs and as result was missing one. Had to wait a few days for replacement disc, but the manufacturer did send the replacement quickly.

This is a complete set of all those maps tucked into national geographic magazine up thru 2000. I sue them in my son's homeschooling, for reference, and just for looking at.
