Fun for Threes!May 18, 2009
By Eileen Walker
"Book loving Granny"
I purchased Jump Start Preschool several years ago for my grandchildren to play when they come to visit and recently added Jump Start Kindergarten to the collection. They love them both. The two year olds play them with my help and by the time they are three can insert the cd, click on the icon, start the game and go from one activity to another independently. Several of them visit often and head for the computer as soon as they come in the door. These cd's are great not only for their entertainment and educational value but they also help children to be comfortable with the mouse and keyboard.

fun and educationalFeb 20, 2011
By Lindsay Cushman I bought this item about a month ago and my kids love the games that they can play by themselves. If you want a more educational experience for your child you may have to sit with them and do some of the learning games. My kids are not in Kindergarten yet, but this is good preparation for them in learning sight words, word families, and alphabetic recognition and sounds. As a teacher I would recommend K Jump Start. It not only gets them used to using a computer, but they are learning in a fun way too and their teacher will thank you.

How to run on 64-bit Windows-7Mar 21, 2012
By C. Hart When I tried to install on our Windows-7 PC I got an error message saying it was not compatible with 64-bit Windows.
Doing some research it seams that this is truly "classic" software designed for old 16-bit systems. Windows is only backward-compatible one generation... so 16-bit software will work on 32-bit windows (usually) and 32-bit software will work on 64-bit windows (usually), but 16-bit will NOT work on 64-bit.
The good news is that if you have Windows-7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate you can install "XP-Mode" which will let you run windows-xp as a virtual machine. You can then install this in XP and run the program that way. The really nice thing is that you can make a shortcut from the program inside the virtural-XP and place it on your Windows-7 desktop and it will appear to run like any other normal program. Setting this up took about a half-hour (after 15 min or so to download the installer).
Here is the link to download XP-Mode: [...]

Must have!Feb 01, 2012
By heresthesunrise I babysit my friend's 5 year old boy and he actually asks me to play this now. He loves his video games and the first time I tried getting him to play it he looked at it when instantly wanted to play the Wii again. I asked him to at least try and sat down with him and he loved it! I loved that it had an assessment test that automatically set all the levels for him. Only complaint is it can be a bit glitchy at times but I'll just restart it and it works fine.
