We just purchased Dr. Seuss Kindergarten and cannot load the cd-rom. We have windows XP and I have tried to install/uninstall the program and neither will work. When loading the cd, it begins the installation but then stops shortly after saying it cannot load the program. I tried to uninstall it and cannot uninstall what was installed on the computer. Any suggestions?

Dr. Seuss's real name is Theodore Seuss Geisel. Named Theodore after his father, the Seuss came from his mother's maiden name. Growing up, Theodore was more commonly called Ted.

So, if Dr. Seuss's true name is Ted Geisel, then how did the name "Dr. Seuss" come about? Well, some could say the beginnings of this famous name first came about while Ted was attending Dartmouth College.

As punishment for waking up his landlord while throwing a party, the Dean of the college made Ted resign as editor of the Jack O'Lantern, the school's humor magazine. In order to keep editing, writing & drawing cartoons, Ted Geisel would sign his name as Ted Seuss or sometimes just, Seuss.

So, we found out where "Seuss" came from. But, what about "Dr."?

Ted added the "Dr." while working for the magazine publication, Judge. Assigned to a regular cartoon feature about animals called "Boids & Beasties", Ted signed his name Dr. Theophastrus Seuss to sound more professional.

Soon, Theodore Geisel was signing Dr. Seuss on all his work (saving his real name for the great novel he would write someday).

not compatible with vista. Have to either buy an old XP system or buy updated versions of game. May run on Windows 7 but not sure. I'm really disappointed. Add it to the list of vista problems.

Hello,

The CD Burner drive is compatible with your Windows XP the software version is where the problem is. You need to get an updated version of the burner program, something like Nero burning ROM or Roxie EZ CD creator.

Restart the computer, and then start the Setup program again.
When you receive the error message, click Browse, and then type the path of the I386 folder on the hard disk.
Note You may be prompted several times for the location of this folder. If Browse is not available, see the "Hard disk formatted with NTFS file system" section.

Method 1
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ ) How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
When you receive the error message, press SHIFT+F10 to start a command session.
Type regedit.exe, and then press ENTER.
Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
On the File menu, click Load Hive, and then load %Windir%\System32\Config\System.sav.
When you are prompted to specify a name, type Test.
Locate and then click the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Test\ControlSet1\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Delete the UPPERFILTERS and LOWERFILTERS registry keys.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the other ControlSet# keys under the Test hive.
Click File, and then click Exit to quit Registry Editor.
If the path in the error message is the correct drive letter for the CD-ROM drive, click OK to continue the Setup program.
If you receive the error message again, the Setup program cannot correctly read from the CD-ROM drive, or the path information is incorrect. In this case, restart your computer and let the Setup program resume.
Method 2
If you cannot start Regedit.exe at the command prompt, and there is another available partition where you can install Windows on the hard disk, follow these steps:
Install Windows in the other partition.
Start the new installation of Windows, and then start Regedit.exe.
Follow the steps in method 1, but load the System.sav hive from the original Windows folder.
Method 3
If you are not using a retail Windows XP CD-ROM with a hologram (for example, if you are using a burned CD-ROM), try to run the Setup program from a retail CD-ROM with a hologram. To verify this, start the computer by using Recovery Console, and then check the C:\$win_nt$.~ls folder. Look for the Asms folder. If the folder is missing or the files that it contains are zero bytes, the CD-ROM was not burned correctly.
For additional information about how to use Recovery Console, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

The video card or memory may not be sufficient enough to run this program. Do you meet the minimum requirements as suggest on the box? You can try to update your video drivers. If that doesn't work, you will have to upgrade memory or video card or both.

To uninstall the program, click START, Control Panel, Programs, under Programs and Features is listed Uninstall a Program. Select and a list will generate of all your programs. Find the appropriate one and click uninstall.

If you can reboot to Safe Mode and select "Last Known Good Configuration" it will be best but if you can't then you have to completely shut- down and reboot with your Restore or Windows CD and select the options to do a "Repair"

This happens so much with upgrades! We think we are making our pc's better, and then find it doesn't like it. I am assuming you completely uninstalled millenium, then tried to load xp? If you did not, the registry still has parts of millenium on it, and is asking for this. You need to completely uninstall millenium first. You need to obtain mill copy, and select uninstall, then when done, put in your new xp disk and try again. Lilacgerry xxx
