Not for Vista Premium!! October 7, 2008
I purchased this item after seeing one of the reviews where the purchaser was able to run it on their Vista Premium system. I tried everything I could but could not get it to run. I contacted the seller who sent instructions on how to make it work, but it still would not function.

Oregon trail 5th edition cd September 5, 2008
The cd I bought had the 4th and 5th editions on it. When we tried to play the 5th edition on Windows XP it wouldn't work. When we tried to play the 4th edition it asked us to insert the cd but it was already inserted. I went to the Learning Company website and found out that you have to replace the OT5.EXE file with a new one. You can get the instructions here:

After we did that it played fine.

DO NOT BUY IF YOU'RE RUNNING WINDOWS XP! July 14, 2008
DO NOT PURCHASE IF YOU'RE RUNNING WINDOWS XP on your computer! I purchased it, and it crashed my computer upon installation. I then tried to download the product from www.broderbund.com, and again it crashed my computer. It has faulty programming and NO CAPATIBILITY with XP! To add insult to injury I've had a lot of difficulty obtaining an RMA from Amazon/NothingButSoftware in order to return it for a refund!

Oregon Trail 5th Edition and Windows VISTA May 13, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful

amazon was the only retailer that had a listing for this program that included a mention that it would run on Vista. Even the manufacturer told me via email that they couldn't say if it ran on Vista or not. Given Amazon's good return policy, I decided to order it and give it a try. There are a number of different "versions" listed, all 5th edition but this one on Amazon said "Vista" in the write up. Sure enough, the disc came and the jewel case blurb only mentions XP. But, I went ahead and tried loading it and it loaded and now runs on my Dell Inspiron Vista operating system computer without any problems so far. Hope it works for you!

Life and Death going West April 21, 2008

My children played this game in school and wanted to bring it home. Although some of the characters you create face adversity along the way and some may perish the game shows kids and adults what it was like to travel west in the early days.
