We are using Singapore Primary Mathematics here and loving it. However, we got a new Dell laptop and it has Windows Vista as its operating system. The Singapore game CD's don't run on Vista! Does anyone know whether/when/if there will be any game CD's (like the Wiggle Woods game and the others) that will run on Vista? I would love to be able to use these with the program.
Maybe someone can suggest other CD's to use instead of the Singapore ones?

No clue, but have you tried actually contacting Singapore Math? Maybe there's a work around or something you could download to make them work or maybe they've already corrected the problem in the ones currently for sale or something.

Jodie, thanks! I had tried this before, but they don't have a newer version. I did discover that it is supposed to run on 32-bit computers with the Vista operating system, but not on 64-bit ones. I tried to run the program again (since my computer is 32-bit), and it worked! Hey! I had tried about 3 or 4 times before to run it and it never worked at all, so I don't know if updates on Vista corrected the problem or what.
Anyway, the Singapore game CD's (Rainbow Rock, Wiggle Woods, and the one that starts with "V"!) DO run on Vista, but DON'T run on 64-bit machines.
Thanks for your reply!
