Summary: Ridiculous!
Review: a) Requires the CD to be in your drive to play!
b) Online registration attempts to dial a modem!
c) Even though my son entered his age of 12 during the registration, which prevents their requesting any personal information by US federal law, he was required to enter such in order to install.Previous experience with this company (infogrames) demonstrated their "Technical Support" issues are handled after a period of DAYS! Highly NOT recommended, as are all infogrames products.

Summary: Never got it to work
Review: After being frustrated because I couldn't get my beloved Scrabble 2 to load on my new Windows XP machine, I was thrilled to hear that Scrabble Complete was XP compatible. But, after what seemed like a flawless installation and registration, all I can get is a black screen and giant cursor arrow. I have to do a hard shutdown and restart to get back to my desktop. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have played with the Compatibility Mode. I have reset my screen resolution and color depth. Nothing works. Until a patch is produced, XP users will be Scrabble-less. Now what do I do? You can't return opened software. HELP US, INFOGRAMES!

Summary: Don't bother
Review: After buying Scrabble 1 with that ... annoying 256-color bug which also doesn't work on NT/2000/XP, I thought I'd give it another try with Scrabble Complete. I now have 2 copies of Boggle (which is a hard drive disk hog). ... Anyhow, I didn't find this game fun at all and promptly uninstalled it. First off, I couldn't even get the game to play. I just got a black screen. I then found out (on my own) that if I disabled ZoneAlarm, then suddenly it would work. What the hey? Just to play the game, I have to disable my firewall? That's makes absolutely no sense. I haven't seen nor played Scrabble 2, but after purchasing 1 and 3, it's pointless for me to search for version 2. I didn't like the controls and quickly grew bored. I'll stick to yahoo's literati or some other equivalent.

Summary: Game Does Not Work on My XP Computer!
Review: After many re-installations, I have given up on this game. It keeps crashing my six-month old computer running XP. After I installed a new hard drive after my old one got corrupted due to a virus, I reinstalled Scrabble to see if it would work again. The game loaded up okay, but when I went to play it against Maven the computer player, the game was on auto-pilot! I had no control over what words I could make on my turn -- the computer program was doing everything!! Obviously, there are some serious bugs in this game. I am very disappointed that once again I blew $20 on a game I cannot play. There are no patches on the company's website, either.

Summary: Wish I could really review Scrabble INcomplete
Review: Am unable to play the game. It loaded okay, but every time I either clickled "play" or double-clicked on the Scrabble shortcut icon, the screen went to black and locked up the computer. Had to do a hard boot every time. Investigated the website for troubleshooting and was greeted with suggestions that I didn't really want to try, like reconfiguring this and that, disabling running programs like virus scan, etc. Tried calling the non-tollfree number at a time when I should have been able to talk to a person, and only got routed thru Menu Land. Twice my call was disconnected. Never talked to anyone. The automated "advice" was the same as the website's. I have Windows Me if that's any hint for any of you more dauntless than I am. BEWARE!! Stick with the board game and a friend.

Summary: Worthless--Do not buy if you have Win XP
Review: Can't get this program to work with Windows XP at all. Screen goes black and locks up the computer. Atari does not offer any kind of patch to fix their program, but suggests you open Windows Task Manager and start shutting down all the background program on your computer to eliminate conflicts. Sorry, but I'm not shutting down my anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall programs to play a stupid video game!

Summary: Does not work in Windows 98
Review: Does not work in windows 98. Get black screen. Have to do hard reboot.
Tried proactively configuring ZoneAlarm to allow internet access, but that did not help.
Remove Infogrames from list of acceptable software distributors. I mean, if their software does not work in windows 98, then what kind of quality control do they have? Obviously none at all.

Summary: Freezes up
Review: Great game but after playing a few times and then reloading on my new computer with XP windows version, it never worked again. Refused to load. Now I have to purchase it again and hopefully will receive a CD without glitches.
