• Fix it in a few steps. then its ok

  dray101May 1, 2008

  Pros

  It's ok, nothing flash. Some pretty good basic games (Make-all-the-words out of some letters, Hangman, Wordsearch, Memory, and a dumb Grade 1 Maths question thing.) Gets you used to working with words and memorising the order/arrangement of things.

  Cons

  I'm no expert but get rid of the .txt extension. Install it. Get the missing msvcr70.dll(I searched my computer and found two identical copies that two different programs were using) Once I copied it into the Smaterkids program folder (C:\Program Files\Hungrycat Soft\SmarterKid by default) it worked fine.

• Smarter kids? Need smarter adults!

  PhilthyMJanuary 3, 2008

  Pros

  Cons

  Apart from the strange installation process, ie the .txt file name and the missing DLL, it was simple enough to get going. But the games are weak and it seems the author is semi-literate. Not sure I need my kids to be taught such poor grammar, thanks!

• no good

  MrsBBJanuary 16, 2007

  Pros

  Nothing, cannot even get it to open unless you want a .txt file

  Cons

  the only thing it installs is a .txt file which even after changing the filename, will still only open a .txt file- notepad....was hoping for more, like the screenshots show.

• Why is it a .txt file?

  LadyRavenAugust 14, 2006

  Pros

  I would love to tell you how much I love this product it sounds great and I will when I can download it successfully.

  Cons

  Unfortunately I could only download a .txt file. Taking the file extention off did nothing at all Pleeeeeese fix it or give download instructions if this is a new way to download files. ps I am not a newbie but this is anew one on me.

• To install...

  nataliecvJuly 23, 2006

  Pros

  1. RIGHT Click on the file name. <p>2. Select rename. <p>3. Highlight and delete the ".txt" part of the file name. <p>4. Click outside the file name. <p>5. Computer will tell you that changing a file name can render the file useless, do you still want to change it? CLICK YES. <p>6. Double click the file to install.
