I am trying to run the "my amazing human body" cd-rom game. it says the sound software is not installed right or not working properly. we bought it new and worked once and now it wont. we have xp and it says only windows 95 only supports this game?

In your case..the fix is to run the program in compatibility with windows 95..
Insert the disk ..and after that if it let's you install it is great ..Install it ..and after that click on the icon (right ) choose compatibility ..and in there tick the case that says "run this program in compatibility mode for : " and choose windows 95 ..
If it do not want to install it at all ..repeat the same thing with the execution icon on the disk ..
Insert the disk ..than in my computer folder..locate the cd icon ...click right on it ..select compatibility ..than tick same case...to run it as windows 95..and will work ..
In case the feature is not available cause the program is on disk and can not accept properties changes...click right on the icon of the cd ....choose explore... and it will reveal all that it has inside..
Copy all files in another folder on your hard disk ..in a location of your choice ..Than the properties will be able to be changed..and repeat the operation I says ..Locate the executable icon ...click right /properties//compatibility ..and select to run in compatibility with windows 95 ..and there will be no more issues..

First download and install daemon lite tool in your pc : second right click as shown in picture on game image file and bring cursor on open with and select daemon lite tool now come on desktop start the game through the shortcut on desktop the best way for playing game which ask for cd rom

Sir if you install the game then also you should need the CD Rom to play that game.

If it is currently installed on your computer, Find the shortcut to it. Right click it. Goto Properties.
Click the 'Compatibility' Tab Click Check box 'Run This program in compatibility mode for:' Then Click the drop down menu below it and select "Windows XP"
Hope this help, and if it did please remember to leave Feedback/Testimonial. Thanks.

Issue "[1058]: The sound decompression software has not been installed properly." Description This is a known issue with the Dorling Kindersley software titles and Windows XP with service pack 1 or higher installed. Solution We have two different patches depending upon the particular software you have. If the first patch does not solve the problem, then please install the second patch.http://support.selectsoft.com/download/DKSP1.exe

If you were able to install it, you may be able to go into the program's folder right click the exe, go into properties, and in one of the tabs there should be a run in 98/me/2000 compatibility mode, check that box, click apply and ok. If you can do that, the program should run properly.

That's all I can think of that might help.

Try running the install in compatibility mode for windows xp. Do this by exploring the cd rom, right clicking the setup file, and select compatibility, run this program in compatibility mode for win XP sp2.
