I have always had good luck with Seagate drives but the Freeagent series uses a unique usb cable that makes it essential that you keep the cable 'glued' to the drive lest you get it mixed with your other cables. Neither the power supply nor the cable has any markings to indicate they are Seagate an

The best educational game.
11/17/2008
I can not say enough wonderful things about jumpstart. I home schooled my kids for kindergarten so I bought them this to help out and make learning fun. They LOVE it!
They don't even know they are learning. It is fabulous. If you have dial up you will need to get the off line version which works just as well! My daughters look forward to getting their super gem and earning those keys. It's a big event in our household. I would recommend this to anyone. My girls are now in first grade and still come home from school eager to play! You must buy this!

Waste of time
11/13/2008
My 5 yo daughter and I are both dissapointed. We've tried installing this game on 4 different computers, and even had our neighbors try, and it just keeps shutting down. I'm surprised a product like this came from Jump Start.

DIRTY! and caused a huge fight! DONT BUY!
11/12/2008
The box makes the game sound like you have unlimited access and that is partially true. You have access for only the first two lessons! True your child can continually play the same mundane games over and over, but all messages to your child are to keep going. My daughter was heartbroken when I told her that I was not going to keep paying a monthly fee.
You are basically paying a premium price for a TRIAL. It's dirty and I will not buy anymore Jumpstart games.
Buyer beware.

Couldn't install on Vista64
8/10/2008
I was not able to install this software on Vista-64. The box also does not make it clear about having to register personal information online just to install the software. A subscription is not clear on the outside of the box, and I'm still not sure whether the monthly payment is absolutely required. I couldn't find anything on the box about even requiring a monthly payment. On Vista-64 at the beginning of installation, the installation software opened an Internet Explorer box to register (which the software says is needed for tracking your child's progress). Why can't they just track the progress on my computer??? Most software doesn't open a web browser, and this step is obviously fraught with problems.

After registering through the web browser, the installation software failed to install. The company's website describes this problem and says to download a file called JSWorldRegIniPatch to fix this problem. I downloaded that file, ran it, and tried to reinstall. After registering again, the software would still not install. I went through this about 10 frustrating times and gave up. There aren't many places to deviate from the installation/registration path, so this points to software that isn't correctly designed and correctly tested.

After this frustrating experience, I tried returning this broken software to the store where I bought it, and they said the best they could do was to replace it with the exact same software... A lot of good that would do. The store finally agreed to a store credit after they couldn't install it either. Anyway, this may work fine on 32-bit Vista, but wouldn't even install on my PC. The fault of this broken software complete lies with the company who created it. It is not hard to create software that installs correctly, but for whatever reason, this company decided that it would be best to intrusively gather information about its customers and to charge a monthly fee. In trying to implement these unfriendly policies, they created software that won't even install.

3 1/2 Year Old Daughter and Dad VERY Impressed!
6/9/2008
My 3 1/2 year old daughter has been on the computer since age 18 months. She is very skilled with the mouse, but hasn't had much opportunity to use a keyboard. This game requires primarily keyboard, (using arrow keys and space bar), to navigate and interact with the characters...and the mouse to activate various featues and to play some games. After about an hour she was able to move around the 3-D interactive world very well and she quickly began to recognize that when the mouse symbol appeared that she could activate a feature using the mouse.

We have purchased about 25 computer games from her over the past several years, but none come close to the clever interaction that has been interwoven into this program. There is a wonderful mixture of exploration, fun, and learning...not to mention delightful surprise.

Though we have only worked through the first level, the game offerings were excellent for her. She was able to perform 80% of the games solo, (with parent sit-by), and the rest of the games I had to perform with her, but I was able to ask her questions and prompt her for the correct response.

My daughter loves this game so much that I have to limit use. Prior, I had a 30 minute rule and then we would have to read books, play, paint, etc. However, I have allowed her to play this game for 1 hour the past 2 weeks...though I am starting to cut back to the original 30. The reason I am fudging on my own rule is because she enjoys both the 3D environment and the lessons/games equally. So, she is spending a lot of time playing certain sorting, alphabet, and counting games over and over.

I haven't had to start shelling bucks out yet for additional adventure packs, but I will have no problem investing particularly when I look at the stack of old CD's I have purchased for her...some for a premium...with little true learning/benefit.

I would recommend this highly, but as a previous parent said, you should always be available to your child as they play the game...and for little ones like my daughter, you might as well camp out...but it's worth it!
