75562 2002-09-01 21:25:00 My daughter loves the Reader Rabbit 2nd Grade CD, which runs fine on my laptop, but not her desktop!

On her PC, the screen remains black after starting the CD. Both machines are running W98se. The desktop is an AMD1600 with 128 MB RAM, with various bells and whistles. The laptop is a basic Gateway with a Pentium II with a 450 MHz processer.

I must be missing something obvious. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Regards

Mike Freeman

75564 2002-09-01 22:50:00 The other option is to get the cd repaired. If you don't know of anyone who does it, give your local video shop a call, they probably get their dvds repaired on a regular basis. MoJo (1708)

75566 2002-09-02 07:12:00 A couple of years ago my sister had trouble playing some children's games and it turned out that her PC was too fast for them .

I don't know the details but she said the shop did something to make the PC run slower and then the games worked . If your RR isn't quite recent then maybe that is your problem?

Someone else more knowledgeable might be able to advise further .
