   After installing the game, when I tried to run it I get an error message that says “need 3mb of virtual memory free”. I have plenty of virtual memory and my husband who is a computer expert could not get this program to run on our computer. We have Windows XP and it will not run in the compatability mode. My husband tried to tweek it to get it to run but could not do anything to get it to recognize our virtual memory. There is no technical support available for this game any longer.

   My 8 year old son struggled with this and asked me for help. I had no idea how to help him! All we did was answer math questions, there was no purpose or adventure to be had. Sorely disappointed after all the fun we had playing Where in the World is Carmen San Diego.
   
   What a waste this game was, of time and money!

   I’ve tried to get this to run on two different Windows XP machines. Both receive the “memory error” commonly attributed to it. I’ve tweaked and tweaked my virtual memory settings and while I have a ton of games and CDs that do work, this one does not.

   I want a refund.

   Okay, so you read all of the reviews, right? And they all basically said that this is a great game, right? Well, I want to tell you from a kid’s point of view about this game. I’m not sure if they show a picture of the back of the cover, but it has skeletons on it (just so you know some of the content of this game). This game is like a spacy, almost alieny game where you have to do math to solve the mystery. You are in space in this weird “space building” and you click around on certain things and then math problems will come up. You are then guided through it by mechanical voices and must solve the problems. It’s just weird, maybe if you like this kind of stuff, then this is the game for you. But sometimes, you never know what you’re going to get when you buy it. That’s how it was for us, all of the reviews said it was an awesome game. When we recieved it, we were dissapointed with what we got. Be an informed buyer!

   Math detective is an excellent program for people like myself who need help with math for test etc. I found this program very easy to use. I started using it when I first received it and I have not put it down yet. I feel like I am making progress in the program. I love it and I will go to the santiago website and search for other learning programs. thanks.
