Awful!,
I don’t know if anyone else has had the same problems of getting the games to work in Windows 7 but I certainly have. It acts like an earlier version I had that wouldn’t work in Windows 7. And It is deceptive about what games are on there. There’s only one choice for Dominoes instead of the multiple choices you had with the earlier games (which is why I bought it in the first place). Since I had so many pop-up warnings I finally gave up. Maybe others will have better luck.

|Hoyle Puzzle & Board Games,
It seems that every time this software is updated, minor changes are made that aren’t necessarily good ones. For instance, in Crosswords, the clues aren’t numbered, so it’s hard to tell where you should be within the puzzle itself. And even though the clue you’re on is highlighted, the contrast between the background and the “highlight” is barely noticeable, which I found hard on my eyes. In Word Search, previous versions crossed out a word after it was found, but that’s not so with this newer version. I play Pachisi a lot, and that’s one game that had different glitches in two of the previous versions. Those bugs have been worked out, which makes the game much more enjoyable now. I occasionally play a few of the other games, and everything seems to be the same with those.

My mother had this game on her old XP box. When we upped her to Win 7 the old version would not load anymore. Finally this version came out and I am a worthy son again.
