 Do not run this on Vista ... May 3, 2008
9 out of 12 found this review helpful
Actually, don't even try to run this unless you're kid is running as an Administrator on the machine ... or it won't run properly. And if you're running Vista, it will trigger the "User Account Control" every time as well. Supports Vista? Well, it *does* run ... but only after the User Account Control.
On our son's computer, we don't let him run as Administrator, but with a limited account (so he can't mess with the parental controls or do other bad stuff). He likes the game, but every time he goes to play it/use it, we have to enter the password, etc. It's a royal pain. Had we known this, we never would have bought it.

My 9 yo liked this a lot, and found it fun to "play". Very cute graphics, and has good drills.
Lots of fun but may be a bit challenging for a beginner February 8, 2008

My son had never really typed before and he failed the first typing test a few times. I thought he was just going to give it up. But he had lost his computer game privileges for a few days and asked to play the typing game. Longing for computer stimulation, he really got into it and was soon playing the games offered in the software. I like the emphasis on correct finger placement, offered in a fun way, and the fact that the games only test kids on the keys they have already learned. Well worth it.
 great for young kids January 26, 2008

My 8 year old loves it, and I see how pretty fast she is using correct finger placement (unlike me..) and getting faster at typing. I think that the way the software is setup, combining games with learning is perfect.
We've tried others, like the disney one in the past, and they never held her interest.

Good educational software, and fun to learn. Both my 7-year-old boy and his 10-year-old friend like it.
