The program is fun and educational. However, the program won't run without the disk being in the computer. It also wouldn't run on windows 8. My kids loved reader rabbit and I am disappointed about the issues. My grandson would enjoy your it too. 😡

I have Windows 7. Can't tell you about 8. You do need to have the disk in the computer to run it.

No... it's a great product, but it doesn't run on Windows 7 or 8. You'll need an older Windows XP to run it. I wish the publisher would revamp it for the newer OS.

FWIW:Have mine running on Windows 7 64 bit without problems so I'm pretty sure it works under Win 8 as well, your mileage may vary though ;-)

This runs on my Windows 8 machine just fine. Have had it running all year with no problems.

I have played the game on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 and it works fine on both. I have not had any issues since switching to Windows 8.

Yes it does, I run it in Windows 8 myself. It was designed to run on Windows XP and Vista so there may be the occasional crash, but I have had very few problems once I installed it as the administrator and forced it to run in the Windows XP format. Very fun game, hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

16-bit software will not run on Windows 7 64-bit. Not sure that it will run on the 32-bit version, but I don't have that version.

It says it works with windows vista. Generally speaking, software that runs on vista will run on win7.

Yes, it will. I had no problems running it on Windows 8, or the 8.1 upgrade either.

I couldn't even get it to run on windows 7... now looking at the system requirements on the website it says it'll run on XP OR Vista so I don't think so

I'm running it on Windows 7. It was initially not supported on Windows 8, hence the reason for looking for an upgrade and discovering it was no longer supported by MS. It will definitely not work as a "Windows App".

The one I have has Windows 7. I had the option of 8; however, the software I was running was not stable on 8. This was the summer of '13 and from my understanding 8 had a patch released fall of '13 that was to take care of the issues. Software was AutoCadd.

Correct this runs Windows 8 pro, allowing you to run any program an ordinary pc running Windows 7 or 8 can run

The instructions say it runs on XP, Vista and Windows 7. It runs fine on Vista.

Supposedly, anything that is compatible with 7 should run on 8. I've not tried it with 8.
