I am a frequent buyer of CDs for my 4 year old daughter ( I brought this one for her when she was 3). I am amazed at the multitude of mathematical, logical and other educational aspects covered (including alphabets and english) - all by incorporating the learning experience as a game. My daughter all along thinks she is playing a game, but she has to imbibe all the lessons to play. The visuals are excellant. All activities come with configurable levels - depending upon the comfort level of the user. You can't go wrong with this purchase.
I bought this for my son's birthday and he was extremely excited to play. If you have children you can imagine the boo boo face I was looking at when I tried to explain that it would not work on our computer. Of course he did not understand and was upset. The description clearly states it is compatible with Vista yet, when I recieved it I read on the cover it is compatible with 95/98/XP, NOT VISTA! Now I have to return it, and everyone knows what a hassle that is.
Program doesn't run with Windows XP unless you give the user (a kid) administrative priviledges. First, who wants to have to change the priviledge setting, second, who wants a preschooler on the computer, able to make system changes. Granted, they shouldn't, but kids do have a tendency to click when able. I never ran this software for this reason. The seller knew this but did not make info available until after purchase. I will not buy from Amazon or seller again.

This is a great CD, but as others have mentioned, it will not run on new computers using Vista or newer OS. I used it years ago and wish they made an updated version that could be used on today's computers. IF you have a computer using Windows 95/98/Me or XP, I would highly recommend it. The games are educational and entertaining and will hold the interest of your 3-5 year old. It is very basic (upper lower letter matching, numbers 1-10, etc.) so older kids will be bored.
This game unfortunatly might be unstable for some windows XP. I bought this game years ago for my first child when we had windows 95 and it was wonderful!! She loved it and it was a great teaching tool. But when we upgrated to XP, everytime when I tryed to play it, it would just shut my computer down. I was excited when I ordered this one because I thought that it had been updated for XP but apparently it was not because when I recieved it, it does the same thing. It might work on some XP's, I'm not sure but I know it does not work on mine. I hate it, because I so wanted to use it for my other daughter who is 3 years old.
I bought this for my 3 year old for her birthday. It was a burned copy of the product. I was disgusted, and haven't even tried it yet because it was a gift for her to open and see. I will give it to her for a "just because", but highly dissappointed in the packaging, and for the fact I was not informed that it was not original. I was under the impression that it was NEW. Much more than VERY dissatisfied.
