I have windows 7 and it worked perfectly on mine. Do you have the full windows 7. On my previous laptop, I had windows 7 starter. I am not disputing it is not working on some windows 7's but I have a dell and it worked fine on mine. It also is a little slow on loading. Try deleting any portions of it from your computer and then put the disc back in and try again. Maybe something went wrong the 1st time and if it sees any of the "oregon trail" on your computer, it may think that it is already loaded.

I have it working on XP and read that it will work with Windows 7 (only on a 32 bit formated computer). I'm doubtful of Windows 8 working.

I had mine working on windows 7 and it worked fine. I'd say give it a try since there is no download to get it to work, it just connects in the USB. I really enjoy it!

It does work on Windows 8. I cannot remember the issue at the time, but I did have to call tech support for a fix. Windows 8 was brand new at the time and whatever the problem was, it was a quick fix and I suspect it's already been updated.

It works on my Dell Laptop. There was no download or anything. I simply put it in the USB slot and it works. I am using a fairly new Dell but it is Windows 7

I have Windows 7 and it appears it would work if the actual disc drive worked. My laptop did recognize the device, the drive itself was defective.

I have Windows 7 in 64bit. I have been told if a device works in 7 it will work in 8. I cannot confirm this however for me in win 7 64bit the device works fine and windows installed it without a hitch so I did not need the supplied driver disk which won't work anyway with Win 7. If I was you I would buy it and install it and if it will not work that would surprise me and its not very much in dollars to try it, as it does work good.

Works on windows 8 so I would think it works on windows 7. I really don't like the game though. 8 levels, but level 3 is easy while level 4 jumps to very hard (4-6 words every game that you probably have never heard of).

Thank you for your question. You are provided with an license key and a link. You follow the link in order to download your software on your computer, put in the license key, and install the application. Instead of using a CD to install the software, you use the internet. And yes, it will work with Windows 8.1 Hope this helps!

I have bought this and I can confirm it does work with Windows 8. Both 32 and 64 bit. What I did was I just installed everything that was on the CD, the software and the drivers and it does work. I do have a bit of problems with some applications, but others it does work in so just watch out what applications you are using to use this device. The application on the CD works the best.

You're using Windows 8! JK. It workes great on my Win 8 rig. The drivers it installs are for the HDD itself. Try using a different USB port. If that doesn't work check the Disk Management utility for your HDD and go from there.

Sorry... I'm using it on a older computer and it's working right... It shows no reason why it would not work on Windows 8. But I have not witnessed the facts of that so I am not eligible to say yes.

We have Windows 7, and it works fine on this. I am afraid I cannot answer for Windows 8, sorry, and good luck!

No, it would not work for me. Something about an incompatible driver or something. The disc that was included was useless. I could not get satisfactory interface with Win8.1.

I'm sorry but I don't know. We have Windows 7 and it works. If I remember I will check the game case to see if it says more than you can see online.

Nope. I haven't gotten it to work on windows 8. I probably downloaded over 5 drivers still didn't work. Only windows 7 I saw it work on.
