The CDs installed quickly, however when we tried to adjust the volume the program shut down. Additionally, twice in the Mind Twister Math game, when we completed one game and tried to move to a second game it shut down.

We also encountered several other inconvenient factors, first of all the sound has to be on to play the games, the games run slow on Windows XP and you have to use keys instead of the mouse in the Mind Twister game.

The Learning Company, thorough Broderbund posts online FAQs and troubleshooting guides, including tutorials on how to fix common problems. They do not offer telephone or email support and the software does not include inter-program help or a user manual. We found this lack of support frustrating; in addition, internet access is required to get any support at all.
