Hi! I have a Leap Ahead (3rd grade), that I bought a while ago, I'm trying to install it in to my PC which runs with Windows XP! when I installed it, it keeps on telling me that my MIDI is not properly installed, but I've checked my comp and everything seems to be working fine. I don't know what's going on?

hi...which XP service pack are you using? if im not mistaken, MS is still supporting SP3 version of XP, however, if you really want to upgrade your OS to win7 for you to be sure that is supported by MS. You will need a win7 installer disc. the most common problem when installing a new clean OS on fujitsu's brand is the hardware drivers.
But most Techie, has always some solution for that, suggest take to shop for proper installation of OS. (If you can't).

thanks

There are workarounds besides using an older version of Windows (dual boot or a separate machine). This requires a licensed version of the older Windows OS. However, if you have the most common version of Windows 7 - Home Premium x64, you'll have to spend some money.

School House Rock - 3rd and 4th Grade works with Win98-XP. So, you can run a virtual computer with the older version of the Windows OS. Then install the School House Rock program into the virtual version of Windows as if it were the only copy of Windows. If you have Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate, or upgrade to one of these versions, you can do this for free. Download and install Virtual PC and XP mode from Microsoft (in order). Other virtual computer programs are VMWare and Parallels. However, with those, you need to buy the program and have a licensed version of the Windows OS.

If you have the 32-bit version of Windows 7, you can try the compatibility mode. (To check your version, click Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System. If the title of the OS ends with x64, you have the 64-bit version. Otherwise, you have the 32-bit version.) If you have the 32-bit, right click on the installer for the School House Rock software. Select Properties and then the Compatibility Tab. Check the Run this program in the compatibility mode and an older version of Windows. Then click Apply and then OK. Right click on the installer again and select Run As Administrator. You may need to repeat this for the program itself.

I hope this helps.

right click the install file and select "run as an administrator" some apps also need compatability mode turned on under properties.

Yes you can install Windows XP on this laptop, you just need to have a XP installation CD and then run it to that laptop to install Windows XP.

Right click on the shortcut to the program then click on Properties then Compatibility tab click on Run this program in compatibility mode and select one of these:
1 Windows 95
2 Windows 98
3. Windows NT 4
4.. Windows 2000


Under Display settings, check mark the mode.
1. Run in 256 colors.
2.. Run in 640 X 480 screen resolution.


Click apply.

The reason is, it only happens when you try to install Halo 2 on Windows XP.

The Game gets installed perfectly on Windows Vista

Because, I have installed and played the game on Windows Vista. But, when I de-graded my OS to Windows XP and tried to install the game. It gave me the same error message.

So, if your OS is Win XP then try install on Win Vista if you have it or on your friends PC.

But if you are already on Win Vista then please do let me know.

Also could please let me know whether your trying to Auto install the game or you are manually trying to install the game by clicking Step.exe?


I would be glad to find some help for you in this regard.
