jimyster's Full Review: Encore Math Advantage 2006 Full Version
This software is technically crippled, and looks like it suffers from the same bugs as the 2004 Math Advantage version. If you have 1gig of memory, you will get an error stating you need 3mb of memory to run this program. Below is a cut & paste of the fix for this. But also, they do not name the directory correctly that it looks for. The software itself uses QuickTime, and you can tell it's age because it tries to load an old version 4 of QuickTime. Right now as I type this they are at version 7. Sounds like they just keep repackaging the same software with a different date on the box cover. And like most software, this cannot be returned once opened. It may run on a Mac just fine, not sure about that. Go to there website, and I found one small forum that I was unable to post to, and hasn't been posted to since 2004.
The full fix for the 3mb memory error:
From the Windows XP desktop, select the Start button, right-click on the My Computer icon, and select Properties from the resulting menu.
Click on the Advanced tab to bring it forward, and then select the Settings button within the Performance section.
In the Performance Options window, click on the Advanced tab to bring it forward, and then select the Change button in the Virtual Memory section.
Click the Custom size button...
Change the Initial size (MB) setting to 4000
Change the Maximum size (MB) setting to 4000
Select SET to accept the change, which will close the Virtual Memory window. Select OK to close the Performance Options window. And select OK to exit the System Properties window.
