5 Stars Does version 5 Oregon trail work with windows xp?
I want to buy this for my kids new computer, but I need to know if it works with xp thank you

5 Stars We love this game
I wish there were more history games like this. My kids love it. It is buggy. The trick is to save the file often so you don’t lose all your hard travelin’ work.

5 Stars Its been years since I last played it, and it’s still the best!
The last time I played this game was around 1989 when I was in junior high, and it’s still the best game ever. My best friend and I used to play it all the time. I don’t remember if we ever beat the game, but it was always fun playing. I bought the 5th edition of this game, and just today I finally made it to Oregon! It truly is the best game ever created.

5 Stars Still A Great Game!
I always enjoyed playing this game when i was a child so i bought for my son. I have as much fun playing it as him. Still has a lot of features as the original, but also alot of improvements. Nice clean game without the violence & profanity. A must buy for any grade school kids!

5 Stars No problems, son and his cousins love it.
I read some of the 1 star reviews - I feel sorry for them, but did not have any problems. Installed on both computers in our home, laptop and desktop running xp professional. No problems ever. It does take a long time to set up, so I do it and save it for my son who is 7. He needs a little guidance, but does it mostly himself. Lots of superfluous extras, but still good. My last experience was with the original version in sixth grade 25+ years ago on an Apple. This is MUCH improved. We really enjoy the game. If you buy a second small wagon, you can carry more. Buy oxen (6 or more for one wagon, 10 for 2) to carry the weight. Do not use the Conestoga wagon - it is too heavy regardless of what the pictures show. Do not buy any furniture or any heavy iron items. Hope you enjoy the game. Make sure you use your skill points at the very beginning, they really help.

1 Star I so hate this program
I just got off the phone with Quickbooks Support after I was told I HAD TO buy the tech support subscription in order to get the program I bought last year to work.

This constitutes a breach of contract, and is an extremely dirty business tactic. I paid for a product that I am unable to use until I buy a service agreement.

I am a CPA and have about 10 versions of Quickbooks on my computer but I will discourage anyone from using Quickbooks from now on.

If you make the best product, you don’t have to resort to dirty tactics such as this to get people to buy your product.

This is simply unabashed greed.

1 Star A Bug from the get-go!
Quickbooks make sure you have to buy the full version every three years. My 2007 version NEVER worked right. I didn’t know it did not work until 35 days after I first used the product. Try to get service without purchasing a Service Plan! I finally got in and told them my problem, to which they finally responded there was a “bug” that has not been resolved. You cannot email more than one invoice at a time. I have a customer that wants to be billed once a month and it would simplyfy my operation if I could send the invoices at the same time. This function worked in my 2004 version - until it came time for the 2004 version to expire. Last time I called Quickbooks they said they still don’t have a fix - they would let me know when they fixed it. I DOUBT IT! It has been three months and I still haven’t heard from them. They knew when I purchased the product it did not work. Go somewhere else for your software.

1 Star Same old garbage as 2006, and still database corruption !!!
The biggest problem I had with QB 2005 and 2006 was my database going corrupt after download Intuit updates. I have been an IT consultant for years. I know all the tricks. Nothing could stop it. It was luck of the draw. I cannot tell you how many of my clients went corrupt and switched to Microsoft Accounting or Peachtree.

My biggest grievance with Intuit is 4 fold.

1 - Version 2006 does not work with Vista and Intuit has no plans to patch it to make it work.

2 - The price of 2007 has gone up but the quality is still lacking in many areas.

3 - Intuit does not offer an UPGRADE price discount for people that have 2006 version, and maybe have new computers running Vista. They have to pay FULL PRICE for something they just recently bought all over again!

4 - Intuit used to offer a 5 Multiuser pack for about $400-500. Now they only offer a 3 user pack for around $500! What a screw job. they are purposely cashing in on the Vista release and taking the small business man for a ride and laughing all the way to the bank.

I am now boycotting Intuit. I have stopped over 250 licenses from being purchased by many of my clients and switched them to Peachtree Pro.

Peachtree offers an upgrade price. Peachtree Pro 2007 works with Vista. Originally it did not but Peachtree made a patch!!! Now that is customer service. Peachtree Pro 2007 is also available in a 5 user pack for about $500 on many discount websites.

So take a hike Intuit. you purposely screwed valuable customers and hard working small business people! I hope you are happy!
