Our family has always enjoyed the Oregon Trail games. We bought versions 1 and 2 and have had a wonderful time with them.

My son paid for version 5 with his allowance hoping to find the same quality. To our dismay, it would not run with our XP software even though the box states it is compatible. We thought maybe it was a problem with the cd itself.

I purchased another trio pack of software which included another cd of Oregon Trail 5. We had hoped it would run, but found that the same error message would appear as before. We too, tried to recieve software support for this, but found we were out of luck like the reviewer before me had stated. The company also will not give a refund for the game since it was not directly purchased from them but rather through a third party.

Buyer beware. These titles are out of date and no longer supported by Broderbund. The Oregon Trail would not even run on Windows XP as advertised without fault errors even after trying to run it in compatibility mode as suggested by the support site. What a waste of money.

My husband and I actually bought this game for ourselves. I must admit we are a young couple and played this in elementary. Its way better now! We love playing it. It's a lot of fum. We HAVE Windows XP on our computer and it works great, no problems at all. Don't know why it doesn't work on the others computers. Hours of fun entertainment! Kid friendly, non-violent (well you do get to go hunting, its a lot of fun;) Highly reccommended.

It will not play on Windows XP! Tryed all the tips on the internet about fixing the issue, but still wont work! Dont buy if you have windows XP or better!

This software doesn't run under Windows XP, plain and simple, even if you try the compatibility settings for eariler versions of Windows. Save yourself the money and disappointment, do not purchase this software.
