Great program but not XP compatible

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 18, 2007

Verified Purchase

I bought this as a cheap alternative to the fourth edition, relying on the fact that "for Windows XP" was written next to it. After many trials, I got it to run using the Windows Compatibility Wizard program BUT I am still unable to save or print any picture. Something about quick time MPEG not being compatible. The program itself is great and my kids like it so much that I will definitely buy the fourth edition.

Fantastic program, and does run under XP

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 6, 2004

Verified Purchase

After two years of use, my 8- and 5-year-olds are still discovering new things in this program. It has held their interest more consistently than any of the other highly-rated programs we own. The range of patterns, colors, textures, images, backgrounds, transformation effects, sound effects, and even animations is stunning. While I agree that text tooltips would be nice, it should be a configurable option (by user) since they are distracting to non-readers moving the mouse around. I have not noticed either of my kids having problems grokking the interface (though more than one level of "Undo" would be nice - kids change their minds!). The README file with menu instructions is right there in the KidPix program group when you navigate to it from "All Programs", and within the menu Help item is a complete PDF User Guide. Re Windows XP: I've had it under XP for 18 months, with no problems. Two things to try, especially if startup is very slow: 1. Exclude it from auto-protect virus scanning (you can still cover it in your regular full-disk virus scans); 2. Right-click on the KidPix icon, select Properties, and under the Compatibility tab try selecting Windows 95/98, graphics options, etc. I have not had to use either of these tricks on KidPix, though they were needed for some other games. You could also try upgrading QuickTime, on which KidPix depends heavily. It has worked brilliantly for us. Sorry this review is so long, but I hate to see a truly excellent program dinged on technical grounds when it doesn't deserve to be. Enjoy!

dont get it

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 23, 2012

Verified Purchase

We bought this a few years ago and got this program to work for a while on my computer but it eventually kept messing up and at times wouldn't print or would just stop working right in the middle of a drawing. Heard bad things about it before I got it but I thought we would be able to figure out the glitches but not so. There are probably other similar types of software you can get these days that are much more compatible to modern computers.

Excellent game if you pick the right company...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 29, 2007

I bought this game almost two years ago for my son (who is now five). Today was the tenth time in the past few months, I have come down to see what he is doing with the game and found him doing something new and he's been playing it pretty regularily since we got it. He was taking the pictures they give you and using a special window that enlarges them so you can change the colors. Everything from lines to pictures can be three different sizes, different colors, different mediums (chalk, paint, marker etc.). One set of pictures isn't pictures but sounds. I could go on and on. My son could probably go on longer than that.
The only reason I see for giving this software anything less than five stars is the disc isn't working. When I bought it all the reviews said five stars. That was the only way I bought it. And the best thing for me is that is downloads onto your computer and you don't have to keep putting in the disc to play it like all the rest of my kids games. Which of course leads to scratches and ruining the game.
But really if you can find a good copy, I can't recommend it enough. We have a lot of computer games and this one is the only one that my kids don't get bored with.

Came in a white sleeve envelope

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 2, 2011

It was a christmas gift, but came in a plain white cd sleeve so it would have been pretty cheesy. I actually lost the disc while trying to wrap the other presents, so I cant comment on the software itself.

We actually needed 3X - so we are unable to use this product on our student computers, they are not compatible.

Mac OS X Edition! NOT Universal.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 29, 2014

Verified Purchase

Sadly, my son was waiting by the mailbox for this item and, when it arrived, was unable to play it. The box pictured said "Universal Edition" (see bottom, front) but the item that arrived is only for Mac. I am disappointed that the seller did not include this in the description and would like to warn others. When it arrived it was VERY CLEARLY MARKED ALL OVER THE BACK OF THE BOX that it was for itunes, imovie, ipod, etc., etc., etc. Also, there is no return on this electronic game. I feel very foolish and am grateful that I only spent about $10. I would not give a single star to a game my son can't even play & I cannot even return or exchange, but the review won't accept "0 stars" as a rating.
