Contrary to popular belief this game plays very well in Windows XP.

Amazon was MORE than willing to take the game back and apologized for the erroneous info but I loaded the game anyway and discovered it works on XP fine but only if I am playing Maven--for some reason when trying to download the patch to play on-line thru MSN Gaming Zone, the download won't take--that didn't matter and the game is fun enough as is but I'd like to see a XP version for Maven and on-line play come out soon!

I've enjoyed playing Scrabble for years, so I was glad that I found this version for my home computer. The graphics are really cool, and the background music makes the game more fun to play. Also, this version works fine on Microsoft XP despite saying that it required Windows 95 or 98. The installation was very easy and the directions were easy to follow. I give this game my highest recommendation. It is loads of fun and will keep you busy for hours at a time.

This does work perfectly on Win 98, but will not work on XP or ME (the other two machines I have tried it on). Just so folks know.

I loved this game when I had Windows 98. It worked well on-line and off-line in W98, and is full of features to help you improve your level of play. A few features would not work when I loaded it onto Windows ME when I inherited a laptop running ME. But they were minor issues, and I played anyway. But that laptop died and now I have a new laptop with XP, and when I try to play Scrabble 2 on it, I just get a black screen that freezes my system. The problem may be the DirectX version in XP (version 9, maybe?), which would not let me write over itself with the version that comes with Scrabble 2 (version 6.1, I think). And God only knows what other things on my machine would quit working if I were succesful at replacing the newest DirectX with an older version. So if you are still using Win98 or ME, absolutely go for it. But until Scrabble is re-written to work reliably for everyone using XP, don't buy it for that system.

This is a great game and much like the board game. I have the version from Hasbro Interactive, but it is the same as the one from Atari. A good game for people who are very good with words and great spellers (which I'm not).

the whole process of getting the game was great it was ordered easy and got it fast and it is the exact one we wanted and if it weren;t for this person having one we would not be able to get this game we thank you for being so good . thank you again .

This cd- rom game is fun for one or four. The many options include easy playing levels as well as expert levels of the game. Easy to follow directions. Good graphics also.

Several years ago bought this product since I loved Scrabble. Enjoyed it so much I purchased at least five more to give to friends and family. I am retired and wanted to keep my little grey cells working. Playing against Maven keeps me on my toes and I have been able to advance from beginner to intermediate to advanced. Great way to kill time and get a feeling of accomplishment as you work you way up the ladder. Highly recommend it. Fun to play with friends and family too!

MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH ENJOY PLAING THIS GAME. IT IS MORE FUN THAN THE BOARD GAME. IT IS MORE TIME EFFICIENT. WE CAN EITHER PLAY EACH OTHER OR PLAY A COMPUTER PLAYER. IT IS VERY INTERESTING. AND IT HELP WITH SPELLING AND NEW WORDS. I PLAY THIS GAME EVERY DAY,
