Out on a limb, have you tried a lens cleaner recently?

I have triied reinstalling them , they look like the genuine Dorling kindersley Kids series ? Just wonder as the other games my son had stopped working a while ago too. Just the normal "XXX has encountered a problem and needs to close type stuff." is it more likely to be a problem with the Cd romdrive or with the discs? They play my family history discs ok but then they have no sound!! Andy, I have read the Read me file , but still get the sound software error message. I get normal windows sounds whilst using the computer so its not the speakers. Yours with no inspirations! Kim

NOT TAKING THE MICK BUT HAVE YOU THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT ISN'T INSTALLED PROPERLY? IF IT IS FINE WITH EVERYTHING ELSE IT COULD BE A COMPATABILITY ISSUE. TRY READING THE READ ME FILE THAT I IMAGINE COMES WITH THE SOFTWARE AND THEY USUALLY HIGHLIGHT ISSUES WITH CERTAIN CARDS, THIS IS UNFORTUNATELY QUITE COMMON.

have been collecting Daily express free cd roms, have loaded them on computer XP and they all say your sound card is not installed properly. Disappointed children . What do I do any advice? Kim
