 Not compatible with Windows XP March 21, 2007

Please use caution when purchasing this product. It is labeled Windows XP Compatible, but it is not. You have to reconfigure your entire system to get the software to work. Once you change your settings, then the software is great and my son loves it. I wish I could explain what you have to do to your computer to get School Days to work, but I had to consult with my brother who is a computer technician...I followed his instructions which were very complicated. He even had to search on google to find out how to fix the error message that kept popping up every time we tried to play it.

I Spy, a great game is great on a rainy day. Too wet to go outside, no broblem! Just hook up "I Spy." Can you find the hiden objects? Travel to many diffrent rooms. This is as fun as living in Disney World. Practice in reading, build vocabulary, and more. Enjoy this this game. Be smart, and have a sharp eye!

I just tossed this one in the trash. It looked like a good game for my girls but unfortunately Scholastic doesn't believe in updating or supporting their products. I'd be very leary of buying any software from this company since software returns are difficult to negotiate. I would appreciate a list of truly Windows XP compatible children's software titles. Windows XP has been around for at least a couple of years now. I don't understand why compatibility is such a problem. Their support site cites that the problem is "you have too much installed RAM." Well, for most software, that is not a "bad" thing.
 What a great piece of software for me and my four year old! October 16, 2004

My daughter and I play with I Spy 2-3 times a week. Not only does it have the "find an item" games, but it has organizational and grouping games. For instance, in one game, there are several items on the screen and two circles. In one circle, you need to put metal things, in the other circle, you put money. But, the circles also overlap, and in that overlap, you need to put metal money. It builds upon that concept with several other ggroups of objects, and it has taught my daughter a lot more about the world around her.
My 8 yr old loves I spy! February 3, 2004

For those who say this is boring, maybe your kids should just stick to video games. My son is loving the books and the computer games. He conquers them pretty quickly and we have to buy more but hey, it's getting his mind working looking for hidden items. We went for an open house at his school a few months ago and the teacher picked up an I Spy book and said that it was the main thing all the kids fought over in class. We love all the books, computer games and the gameboy game that is out. Good investment for little thinkers out there!
