Software Reviews of Mavis Beacon Typing 17 / Kid Pix Deluxe 4 Bundle
Customer Review: Booo Hisssss
Summary: 1 Stars
It took my husband and I about 12 tries to install this product and he is a professional IT worker with 30 years' experience.
The program itself is wonderful once you get it running. However, 9/10 buyers will never get this POS installed.
WARNING!!!
DO
NOT
BUY
THIS
SOFTWARE.
Kid Pix was easy to install but not worth the time.
I didn't read the reviews before I purchased this, because Mavis Beacon is the best of the best typing tutors, and it has been for years. I trusted the name Mavis Beacon. Never again.
******
If you have already purchased this software and cannot get it running good luck.
Here's what we had to do:
Go into the setup program's properties, software compatibility tab. Set it for 640x480, AND emulate windows 2000. After this it should install ok with a reboot (or 10).
If you happen to be running a PC from the late 90's you might be OK.
******
One final warning - this junk software forcibly installs NetZero and other bloatware on your machine. We found no way to get around it. It's a shame that Broderbund had to stoop to this level and besmirch the name of poor old Mavis.
