 DOES NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS XP January 8, 2007
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
Just purchased this game and it does not run on my computer with windows XP. Went to the help website for compatibility issues and tried that, but it still would not run. Big waste of time and money!!!
Warning!! Does not always run under XP December 31, 2006

I've tried this program on 5 different Windows XP computers, and it only runs on one of them. And, yes I have done all the compatibility adjustments.
This is criminal that the software company just doesn't fix this and distribute a patch for all of us that have a child that really wants to run the program.
Did not run, never got to use the product November 5, 2006

Very disappointed in this product. Never got the program to run despite several attempts to fix the problem. Even with help from the publisher, it still did not work with MS XP pro. Sorry I bought it.

I own the II edition and now the 5th edition. They did make some improvements, like you can now go fishing and gather your own fruit and veggies any time. The hunting is the same. They added a neat story feature that provides some nice history and education with animated characters. You can click to bypass it anytime but it's fun to listen to. They also added a feature where you can watch your wagon cross the river so you can watch and see if it gets stuck or tips over (or, if you're fording the river, you can see it get completely flooded). I still think there is a LOT of room for improvement in the game (better animation, more help and tips, etc) but it's still a fun game to play. I played it on my PC with XP with no problems at all. I also have a Mac OS X and I did have a problem while trying to install. To run on a mac, it requires the "New York" font, which my particular Mac did not have by default. So I actually had to go on a different mac computer, copy the font onto a flash drive, and then copy it onto my mac. Then the game installed just fine. A strange quirk IMO...why can't they just include the font with the game so people don't have to hassle with it?
Did not run! August 5, 2006

I had really enjoyed other games in the series (in my opinion Oregon Trail 2 is the best because of the many choices for start date/time, start city, and destination), and was really looking forward to this game, but unfortunately, I could not get it to run on my machine (a PC with Windows XP). There was no patch or detailed help readily available, and the online advice I found (after hunting around quite a bit) was not helpful.
