4.0 out of 5 stars It can work on ME
I only have Scrabble and thought it wouldn't work on ME, but it did. Don't use the automatic installer that comes up-it wouldn't install for me on ME with that. But if you go into the folder, there's another setup icon that will load. Yeah, you gotta change the colors; but that can be done in one click if you put the icon on your task bar. I originally thought I wasted my...

1.0 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTMENT
DO NOT buy this version of Scrabble if you are looking for the newest version. This is the OLD, copyright 1996, version limited to 256 colors and without a user dictionary feature! Although the Amazon description says it is '98 and ME compatible, it may not be.

If you want to be able to play without changing your screen colors setting each time, you need...

1.0 out of 5 stars Incorrect version, March 28, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Scrabble & Boggle Twice The Fun (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
I too found this was not the newer version as advertised. Hopefully I am getting my money back, but be extra careful if you order. Scrabble is a great game, and if they can actually guarantee you're getting the correct new version, hopefully it will be great. I'm waiting to see...

1.0 out of 5 stars Scrabble, September 5, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Scrabble & Boggle Twice The Fun (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
Website says the game runs on platform 95/98/ME but the program says 3.1/95. My system runs on ME and when you play the game you have to reset your colors to 256 and change them back again when you finish playing. Not worth the trouble.

1.0 out of 5 stars Plays poorly., September 1, 2002

This game is a dinosaur. Advertised as current but is not. Does not work well with Windows XP and I suspect it will be a problem with Windows 98 and ME...unless you really like to keep switching settings. Tile selection almost always left me with 4 of a given letter...well, maybe not always, but far more frequently than chance would ever have allowed. Poor substitute for the real game. Hope a newer version comes out soon. This one was pure frustration.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incorrect version, False Advertising, November 29, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Scrabble & Boggle Twice The Fun (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
I purchased the Scrabble/Boggle combiniation and never got it to work on my Win98 computer. Kept getting error messages. Wish I would have read the reviews before purchasing. This is the version for Win95, not Win98 as stated in the ad...

I originally thought I wasted my money; but I find myself playing this every night after I put my kids to bed. My sister HATED Scrabble when we were kids; and now she's even addicted. It's a good stress-buster. I'd buy it again at this price.

This is why ME was around for such a short life span. Go back to 98se or up to XP....

run the setup.exe from My Computer / CDROM /Scrabble folder
