Jump Start Typing

Im giving it 1 star because it does not work. it will start up but when I push play it shuts down.

This older version of the cd-rom is outdated and has MULTIPLE installation issues - literally took me HOURS to install it after un-installing add-on and updating drivers that came with the installation. NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE.

I got this game for my god son and he has not used it yet but I know he will love it. I gave it a test run and it is so much better then the typing game I learned how to type on.

works on windows 98 and nothing newer~

My daughter is just starting using this. I tried using it on an XP computer and it was coming up with some things upside down. I looked online and found a patch that appears to have fixed that. I installed the fix on our Windows 8 computer but havent tried to run it again to see if itll work. Will post update if it does. Heres a link to FAQs to help with troubleshooting. [...]

This product does not work well at all. Very disappointed. I wished I would have listen to previous posts. Always liked Jump Start products but this one is no good.

This was an old program and not even compatible with my older Windows 7 PC

This CD typing game is just like the old one :) Im so glad that the company made one compatible to the computer systems of this time period. I used to play this CD when I was around 9. Now my 6 and 7 yr old brother and sister plays it too :) we even found the old one! The newer one has a different opening screen and starts up a little faster. But, everything else is the same! For first timers, dont fret about the first timed test. It is actually better to type a little slower so that the goals are not set so high that your child/you is/are unable to achieve them.

It only plays in small screen mode.

My son adores this CD Rom! I thought he would be bored by it easily, but he loved it and wanted to keep playing past time when home school ended. He is only 7 but he thought it was so fun and really felt motivated to keep going to the next level and get faster and less mistakes. He is already typing 18 wpm! Much better than I was when I began learning!I highly recommend this program for anyone, any age. My 12 year old will be learing to type properly next. The shipping was fast and everything arrived as expected!
