i bought this game because i have an xp and my old scrabble 2 doesn't work anymore. before i bought it i read the previous reviews for the other srabble complete but figured since this one was advertized as windows xp and not windows 98/xp it would work. i was wrong. i tried three times to play and each time got a black screen. i was so frustrated that i even tried the website listed on the box and found absolutely no information there to help me. in fact, it stated that this game was coming soon and thus had no troubleshooting help to offer. this was a complete waste of money. i hope that the new game that is advertized as scrabble windows xp for 19.99 actually works. otherwise, i will be out luck again. why can't someone get a decent game that actually works for xp?? how much money do we have to waste?

Worst game ever - DO NOT BUY THIS!

This is a piece of junk. After installing it and clicking on the icon to start it, your entire computer goes black and you can't do anything. You can't even quit. We tried installing it three times and finally did a search on Amazon and read the similar reviews, so we know it wasn't us. DO NOT BUY THIS. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Do not buy if you have XP

I wasted my money on this game. I had the same problem as previous user and tried for over an hour using all resources given and can't get this came to work. I did manage to get it start to play but the program would crash after attempting to play. Why advertise as Windows XP if a game won't play on it?

AVOID if you have Windows XP

Don't waste your money on this game. It would be better to just throw your money in the trash and not risk harm to your computer. Not only did it not work at times leaving me with a black screen at start up, it would also go totally black in the middle of a game and I would have to drag the mouse over the entire screen to make the picture reappear. I love Scrabble, but not this game!!

This game is a waste of time and money. Doesn't work with WindowsXP, all I got was a blank screen. Save time and download from gateway games.

Don't bother

I had the same problem as the others with XP. Pay attention to the reviews, unlike me. All the program did was lock up my laptop. Got a black screen and the only way to shut it off was to take out the battery. Then i had to do a system resore to get rid of all the damage it did.

I HATE having to insert game disc every time I use the game! It is good only for those who have a very small space on their hard drive in order to use the game!!!!!

I downloaded the patch from the Atari site. I disabled ZoneAlarm firewall. I turned on ZoneAlarm and allowed total access for the Scrabble executable. I tried several different options for Compatability Mode. I turned off internet access altogether. I tried to do ALT-ESC and ALT-TAB to get out of the program and figure out what was going on.

None of these made any difference. Each and every time I tried to start this on Windows XP SP2 the program give the Black Screen, requiring a reboot to recover.

Playing a game should not be this much work. Highly *not* recommended.

This game worked for only a short while then would just give me a black screen and lock up my computer. The only way I could resolve this was to kill the power to the computer. I use Windows ME. I do not recommend.
