2.0 out of 5 stars Poor technical support, July 17, 2007

This review is from: Scholastic Brain Play 1st - 3rd Grade Compilation; 1st Edition [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

All of the software works great, except for I-spy reading which I receive an error. I was told several times that to get the software to work, I would need to remove some RAM or lower my virtual memory. I tested on two of my other computers and it works normally. My kids' love the software, but it seems to have some bugs that Scholastic is unwilling to resolve.

This may be kindergarten material, I am not sure. My 6 year old will play it but its not very challenging and doesnt challenge him or seem to teach him anything. This one was cheaper, however we will be trying another brand.

I bought these games to play with my kids in Speech Therapy. I like that the game saves your progress along the way. But be careful; these games don't work on Windows 7. My opinion is very middle of the row on these.
