Hi there i have a copy of My First Amazing World

http://support.selectsoft.com/products/W/LDWOREXPLJ.htm Theres 2 patchs on there try one at a time it should fix the problem.

Hello acdangerfield

I have checked on the DK Multimedia website, and these programs should be compatible with Vista.

One thing you can try is this:

1. Navigate your way to "My Computer" > "Local Disk (usually C:) > "Program Files" > and then the folder the program is stored in.

2. Right-click on the program launch icon and left-click on properties.

3. Click on the "Compatibility" tab.

4. Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"

5. Click on the arrow pointing down and select a previous version of Windows. I would recommend XP.

6. Click on "OK", and try to run the program again.

I hope this helps. If not, please don't hesitate to contact me.

There are two patches here...try the first. If this does not work...then apply the second. Will require a reboot.

try this, Run as Administrator and set the program EXE to Compatability Mode for XP SP2, and also, run as Administrator, do this for everything, patches included.

By magic

You could try to run in compatibility mode by right clicking the program executable file and choosing properties, once that comes up look for a tab that says compatibility.

You may have to try different settings to get it to work. Win95 or 98 mode should. The display settings may help as well.

I just had this same problem, and the Fly Fusion website has this to offer (the website link is http://fly.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/fly.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1619&p_created=1201901554&p_sid=fj7lBboj&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD04NSw4NSZwX3Byb2RzPSZwX2NhdHM9JnBfcHY9JnBfY3Y9JnBfc2VhcmNoX3R5cGU9YW5zd2Vycy5zZWFyY2hfbmwmcF9wYWdlPTE*&p_li=&p_topview=1 or you can go to Fly Fusion supprot link and click on the FAQ section to access this information):
