After a couple of years of the kids not being able to run this program, I finally made it work on 32-bit Outlook. My problems were two-fold:
1: This CD will not run properly unless it’s in the D: guide! Yes, it won’t run from the E: guide or no matter what, so if you have a second hard guide partition that’s taking up D:, you’ll have to rearrange your guide letters in Disk Management and set the guide letter to D.
2: The 32-bit version of the program won’t run under Outlook, but the 16-bit version will.
Forget about installing the program, just insert the disk, browse the directory structure, and make a shortcut on your desktop to D:programDW_16.exe
Once you have the shortcut on your desktop, right-click on the shortcut and click “Properties”, then the “Compatibility” tab. Check the box to run in Compatibility mode, and brilliant “Windows 98/Me”. Check the “Run this program in 256 colors” box and Apply your changes. Close the Properties box, and you should be excellent to go — just be sure the disk is in the guide and click the desktop shortcut to launch the program.

My son was dying to play this game. I can’t install it on ANY of my operating systems and I have them all! I keep getting an error. What’s worse is it installed it’s Brodcast dssagent on my computers and it won’t let me delete the file or folder. Every time I log off, I get an error that the program isn’t responding.
Saying that it is Windows compatible is very misleading. What a dissipate of time. Don’t get this CD!

my daughter is interested in the game, but as we have windows xp, she cannot play the game. i have contacted the learning company and have tried to install it using the windows program compatibility wizard and the 16-bit version. not anything works. the learning company’s comeback is that it will not work on windows xp – end of tale. and i’m out of luck!

It turns out I was incorrect…. the 32 bit version certainly doesn’t work on XP and the 16 bit version starts but faults in several places on XP even with the compatibility settings to run like 9x …. if you want to use this software seems 95/98/ME & NT4 seem to be the limit for now. Sorry !

The kids seem to like this learning software.
My outcome keeps saying DW is asinine or naughty for not eating properly, so I suggest the message does reach the mark.
Yes there is a bit of squirting pesky gophers with water from a hose (note neither the hose or any other object is used to strike or injure the pests) so don’t panic violence is not the theme and with proper parental guidance this software is certainly not a unenthusiastic role model.
You could certainly do worse.
Re it doesn’t work on a modern OS, well the 32 bit DW_32.exe certainly wouldn’t run for me on XP (generates a Media Player crash), but if you run the DW_16.exe it runs fine….
I’m sure TLC/BroderBund could fix this so have logged a fault call. Usually flourishing.
Play with your outcome whilst they use this software and watch and delight in as they learn and play.
