DON"T BUY THIS!!! I REPEAT- DON"T BUY THIS!! [Posted on 2004-10-07] Although I'm basicly computer illiterate, I'm definatly NOT impressed with this product! I had to buy a "cheap" keybooard and take it apart to disable any of the keys (such as the "F" keys, escape, Alt., Ctrl- you get the idea)so as my child couldn't press them. Actually, if ANY key is held down too long it will "shut down" my computer. Among this, there are MANY MANY other design flaws- as mentioned in other reviews. It's been very disappointing to me and my child.
This is garbage [Posted on 2004-12-31] Received as a Christmas gift and my child was very excited to play with it. Guess what, take a HP laptop, pentium 4 running XP and it will not even install! That's something new for me but I'm not talking about 1 CD that won't even install, all 3 CD's included in the box will not install. I have never had that problem with any other software. I remember the days of DOS when software was normally quirky. This is not quirky, it's a ripoff.
Very disapointing [Posted on 2005-06-11] My twins received this as a Christmas gift, and I just got around to downloading it. The "Baby" CD seemed to work ok, but the Elmo CD's have no sound other that the theme song. I even uninstalled it and installed again using the compatability wizard, thinking the XP was a problem. Still didn't work. I had read the other customer reviews on Amazon after we got the programs, and I hoped we wouldn't have the same problems. The technical support site from the company is ridiculous!! They list off articles to read to fix the program, that are not even understandable. Seems to me if you have to write articles explaining the problems, then the programs are NO GOOD!!!! I would tell all parents not to buy this product.
Not for Windows XP [Posted on 2005-07-20] I gave the product a neutral review because I haven't been able to play it. When I bought it the info said it was for Windows XP. When I tried to install it it then told me it was made prior to Windows XP and that I had to change some settings on my computer in order to play it. I followed the instructions. I still have not gotten it to play.
Would not recommend this for use with modern systems [Posted on 2005-09-17] This software was given to us when our son was just born and I recently broke it out to play with since Sesame Street and Elmo have become a big hit with him. The game itself does appear to work, however the lack of audio during the introductory parts of the game was very disappointing. Even after running the game in the recommended compatibility mode it still failed to work properly. After looking at the [...] website I learned that the sound doesn't work on XP systems with service pack 1 or later on them. So, if I still ran windows 98 or windows Me on an older system this might be ok. Unfortunetly I've moved beyond the 90s in software technology. If you're looking for edu-tainment software for your children I do not recommend this product.
