Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SCRABBLE 2
Customer Review: Works fine on XP
Summary: 5 Stars
At first, I experienced the same problem with WinXP that ms1234 mentioned. All I got was a blank screen with my Windows arrow cursor. I figured out that Scrabble 2 was trying to get online and that my computer was waiting for me to allow it to get online.
If you have this problem, just Alt+Tab out of the game and allow Scrabble 2 to always get online. Then you can Alt+Tab back into the game and play. You'll probably need to reset your screen resolution when you're done with the game. You'll only need to follow these steps the first time you play.
Customer Review: great as a dictionary
Summary: 4 Stars
As a Scrabble enthusiast, this device is great to use as a dictionary while playing the board game. It's fast and convenient. The "games" are not too engaging so the primary use has been as a dictionary. So, for the price (approx $50) it's a bit pricey.Customer Review: Does *not* work for XP. I tried ...
Summary: 1 Stars
I downloaded the patch from the Atari site. I disabled ZoneAlarm firewall. I turned on ZoneAlarm and allowed total access for the Scrabble executable. I tried several different options for Compatability Mode. I turned off internet access altogether. I tried to do ALT-ESC and ALT-TAB to get out of the program and figure out what was going on.
None of these made any difference. Each and every time I tried to start this on Windows XP SP2 the program give the Black Screen, requiring a reboot to recover.
Playing a game should not be this much work. Highly *not* recommended.
Customer Review: Scrabble 2 CD is worthless for XP
Summary: 1 Stars
I was really excited when I ordered this game because I love to play the Scrabble board game. I spent an entire evening trying to get this to work on my computer. I am very computer literate, but this thing does not seem to be compatable with Windows XP. I went to the website and downloaded a patch, and it still didn't work. All I would get is a black screen. I tried all of the fixes on the website, and it was a total waste of time and energy.
This might work on an older version of Windows, but don't waste your time if you have XP. I am going to look for a newer version.
Customer Review: Black Screen
Summary: 1 Stars
I read about the problem of the black screen and also read there was an easy work-around. By the time I got the disc, the work-around was no longer among the reviews. Never could use the product. Guess I was forwarned, but for Amazon to remove the work-around from the comments is just plain mean.
