I purchased this item because my son loves playing the i spy funhouse. The problem is that not only are you unable to play it on newer computers, it also has some type of spyware on it that creates havic with desktop images and other visuals. It resulted in a costly repair. Had I known that it does not work well with windows xp (which it says it does) I would have never purchased the product. Maybe the ispy manufacture needs to find a better way to enter into the 21st century. I had the same problem with "can you see what I see?" Dream maching--Don't buy that one either--it's a huge waste of money!
