Rating: - outdated software
CAUTION: Little Bear: Preschool Thinking Adventures (Jewel Case)is NOT compatible with modern Macintosh operating systems. For Macintosh, you must be running very old "Classic" software for this title to run. I suspect the same is true for Windows. I bought this for my two boys. I inserted the title into my Macintosh, running OS 10.5, and discovered that Little Bear only ran on computers running VERY OLD operating systems. Beware!!!
Rating: - five star material, 2star performance
as with the little bear toddler discoveries; this game that i just purchased also does not work properly. i am assuming since there are several other reviewers that had the same problem that it is not my newer computer. i had a computer tech come to check it out and he said that it was the software; although not defective; just unable to perform on most computers. very disappointed to find that out as the little bear games are not only developmentally appropriate for teh ages they are geared toward but they also offer children an opportunity to play in a non-aggressive manner; which many computer games do not offer. no point in sending it back as a replacement (if i coudl even get one) would still perform the same so we play until the game freezes or locks up on us or wont let us move on to the next spot. we just go into it knowing it could only be a five minute activity or a 20 minute one.
Rating: - doesn't work
I am also having problems with it returning to start. We are running Windows XP. Any one have any suggestions on how to fix it. it seems like a really good game if it worked.

I also had the same problem as the previous conumer. When we click to go back it returns to the start - maybe an operating system problem? We are running Windows XP.
Rating: - Bad programming to frustrate Adults and Children alike
I bought this disk as part of a package that has Rainy Day Activities as well. [The Rainy Day disk is fantastic by-the-way!] This disk however refuses to work properly. When you back out of an activity it backs you out of the program entirely. ( I guess I should be gratified that it doesn't crash my PC.) It does this both in the Mac and PC environments.
Why others have not had this problem, I don't know. ALL I want to really say is that it looks like it might be fun, but that there appears to be some sort of 'pointer' problem that keeps it from being able to maintain playing continuity. FINALLY, there is NO software support from this company to fall back on. They no longer support it, if they ever did. Good luck.
