xp or software

hiya mike, thanks for your response. no it isn't one of the cheap and nasty
pirates, i purchased it from pc world, boxed and sealed. it is "broderbund"
software by GSP. system requirements state that it is compatable with
98/me/2000/xp. i am not sure whether it is my system that has a problem or my
software.

I am having the same problem. How did you recover the program and have
it moved? How do you run checkdisc on Windows XP?
Thanks,
