I read the other reviews on this item, including A. Dagley's and they were right. Even though the item description here on Amazon says its a DVD-ROM that's for Windows XP, Amazon is sending out something else. This version is the CD-ROM that's made for Windows 95/98/ME.

The game itself is great. My kids had the Windows 95/98/ME version for years on their old computer and LOVED it. My son started playing it when he was about 4. It's great in that it's a game you can get even the youngest of kids, and there's nothing in it that's violent or intimidating to them.
I just wish this had been the Windows XP version of this game like Amazon said it was, since this was to be a birthday gift for a little boy turning 4 years old tomorrow and his family was just given a computer with Windows XP on it, so it will not work on it. (This version crashes on XP)

This does not work on XP at all. You can see what is on the disk, but you cannot open anything. I have tried on several computers, bought at different times, and it doesn't work. My son was really looking forward to playing this after Christmas.

My boys love the first version of this, on CD-ROM, but it crashes repeatedly. When we tried to order the DVD version from Amazon, we received the CD-ROM (which we already had) two different times. I don't think they have remedied the problem, because they didn't offer to find and send us this product.

This product was advertised as working on XP but we could never get it to run. Needless to say my 6 year old was quite disappointed. Me too, cuz it looks fun.

Excellent DVD for four year old and Dad to watch together.
