Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good set of games (and it can run under an XP limited account with some tweaking)
My daughter likes the games, but some of them are pretty simplistic for a kindergartner.

As for letting your limited account "little monster" :-) run the game, I was able to get it running with one little tweak to the security settings for one folder. If an administrator adds Modify and Write permissions to the Users group on the program files\disney interactive folder, the game seems to run fine. As far as I can tell, the problem occurs when the games are trying to write the player.SAV file to a subfolder.

I'm not sure how easy it is to add these permissions on XP Home, but on XP Pro it's a breeze.

Hope this helps.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Will not run unless you give your kindergartner admin rights!
If I could give this program fewer than 1 star, I would. First and foremost, the program will not run at all unless it is run under an administrator account. Perhaps you have created a limited account for your little monster, knowing that if they were set up as administrator, they could load any program or virus downloaded from the internet, add and remove user accounts, change passwords, delete files, and otherwise wreak havoc on your computer... THIS PROGRAM WILL NOT RUN UNLESS you set your 5 year old up as computer administrator. Other titles (such as the SIGNIFICANTLY better Reader Rabbit) work fine on limited accounts.

Even if you log in as administrator so that your kiddo can use this program, it is disappointing across the board. It is hard to use, the games are not fun, and I can honestly not think of a single redeeming feature that is not present in the SIGNIFICANTLY better Reader Rabit series. DO NOT BUY!!!
