I tried the solution below and it worked for me. I am running Windows 7, 64-bit
Download the NO CD patch from this site:
http://m0003.gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_scrabble_complete.shtml
It is an rar file and not the typical zip. The freeware program 7-Zip can extract it if do not have a zip program that will work (Free download from most Freeware sites).
Extract the Scrabblecomplete.exe file and copy it to the directory in which the program resides. Let it overwrite the original. You will no longer need to insert the disc to run the program and it should work without freezing. Mine has been fine for the last few days of extended playing.
Windows 7/Vista is garbage - reinstall XP

Unfortunately not all games will work with newer versions of Windows even with the compatibility modes. Atari Scrabble is an older game, and Atari stopped providing updates for the game some time ago. At this point your best bet is to find a version of Scrabble that is compatible with Windows 7. Microsoft has a Windows 7 Compatibility page on their site. The website address that is below lists another companies version of Scrabble that will work with Windows 7. Check out your local PC game retailers or the Internet to find and purchase a copy or search to see if there are other versions that will work with Windows 7.
