I have the same problem as Lavode. My new computer has SP3 for XP installed. Program locks at startup and only button that works is exit and only on the first screen. Have to force close the program. Worked fine under SP2. It is a great game if it will work.

runs great on my XP machine. It’s a fun alternative to bookworm, and different enough to be interesting on it’s own. Thanks, ggotd!

Thanks #47.

See #114 to get it to work!

I can’t play it. It freezes at the sign-in screen. And, I can’t uninstall it either. It doesn’t appear in the add/remove programs list. Can anyone help?

It’s very addicting! If you like wordworm you will love this.

I had no problems playing, but my sister did have problems with it. It’s the same curser issue other people have encountered.

I like the idea of the game, but as with the previous two (2) people who commented, the buttons and the ‘hot spot’ for the mouse pointer are inches apart. If there is a fix for this I would like to see it.

Can’t play. Also can’t uninstall. Doesn’t show in add/remove programs. Tried to drag it to recycle, but can’t do that either. It stays on the taskbar. How can I get rid of it?

Thanks. Peggy

Just thought I’d mention that on my XP SP3 box here, making any of the word at the bottom of the scren DOES NOT crash the game, nor does anything else!

If it helps, as well as the Logitech mouse driver mentioned earlier, I have a ‘standard’ 4:3 aspect ratio monitor running at 1280×1024px with 32-bit colour; video hardware is onboard Intel 82945G Chipset.

I installed the game and left all the settings as it is (full screen and hardware acceleration on, even turned its own cursor design on too). No problems at all. The only time the game didn’t register my clicks was when I alt-tabbed, opened a few programs and alt-tabbed back in and overloaded my computer. Maybe that’s what also happened with JC at comment 85, 86, but maybe that’s another reason.

Ok,
folks, I found a workaround for the broken behaviour of the bonus words at the bottom of the game. Turn hardware acceleration back on.
I’ve no idea *why* that works, but it did for me.
It’s probably some interaction between their graphics and my card driver.
hth,
