I had a problem with the installation.
I started the installer and successfully registered online, but the installer later had a disk read problem. I canceled the install and tried again, but now the installer insisted on my registering again.
I successfully logged into the web site with my newly created account from the first install, but the installer wouldn't recognize that I had previously registered. It continued to insist I register before proceeding, which I couldn't ... Read More

AUGUST REVIEW - 3 wks in: Great fun, with a BIG BUT. Our homeschooled 4 yr old loves it, and has in about 3 weeks plowed thru BOTH of the EXCITING INCLUDED levels, with a little help from Dad. As a previous reviewer mentioned, this game is very heavy on the hand-eye coordination, getting arrow keys right in order (like the dancing games at arcades) to help your "pet" do tricks, etc. The lessons were fun, but not too challenging, honestly much easier than the 2002 vintage Jumpstart Advanced Kindergarten ...

We have been using the JumpStart World software for almost two years now, and IT IS GREAT! My two older kids are in first grade and kindergarten.

I bought this product for my six year old daughter and she loves it. I enjoy watching her work through the first unit. The software has excellent ways of challenging a child's intellectual abilities. The only issue I have it that the internet access is required to run the software. I wanted an application program that she could use on road trips. The interactive component is amazing; however, I would prefer if the application had the ability to run in stand-alone mode.

I found the Jump Start World Kindergarten at SAMS Club a year ago. Since I am a homeschool mom, I figured it would be a good "game" for breaks and free time. Well, the kids, then 5 and 3, loved it and within a month I bought the additional units. Once my Kindergartener finished all the units I called to buy the 1st grade units and found the Jump Start World Club and we joined. I was able to download directly to the PC, no more disks to deal with. I received the pre-school (3-5), 1st Grade (5-7) and 2nd ... Read More
