Kid Pix not compatible with Windows XP

I was also unable to get Kid Pix 3 to work on XP. After searching the internet, we found a way that was supposed to make it compatible. We followed every direction to make this thing work. It did end up finally loading, but then it would crash. Finally we found a tech support number. First we were told that there was only support on the web for KP3, but the website directs us back to call for support. We were bounced us back and forth and back and forth to different departments. NO ONE wanted to take responsibility to help us (Broderbund is notorious for this). They only gave tech support if we had Kid Pix 4! What a runaround!!!
FINALLY we talked to someone who found information in their system that said that KP3 isn't compatible for Windows XP. Well then, should we buy KP4? Would that work? Nope. Not that either. What?! Not compatible? Now I can understand if I had an ancient computer system, but just about EVERYTHING is compatible with XP. I am absolutely livid.....not only because my daughter was so excited to get the program that is used in her school, but that they would even sell this product stating that it is compatible with XP, when (according to their own tech support) clearly it isn't.
My daughter begged for this game

My 8 year old played with this at school and begged that we get it for her at home. She is very creative and loves it.
ADDICTING!!!

Probably the best kids software I've ever played with. I bought this for my 5 year old, and when it came in the mail, I installed it and probably wasted about half my day playing with it, and I'm 30!!! It's like photoshop for kids. I really can't say enough positive things about this program. Exceeded my expectations 200%

My kids (6 and 8) LOVE playing with Kid Pix Deluxe 3x. It's perfect for Mac OS X. (Tiger)
They love to import photos from iphoto and fool with everyone. It's easy to learn and has so many different functions you'd never get bored. It also has a cool text part that says whatever you typed in many different funny voices. Very, very cool.
Be careful, there are a few different kid pix software out there. Deluxe 3X is the best for a Mac.
Not OS X It is an OS 9 application

This version does not work on OS X, it works in OS 9 and will run under Classic. Do not buy unless you're happy running 7 year old technology!
The advertiser needs to state this limitation clearly.
Version 1.1 of Kid Pix Deluxe 3X from Software MacKiev does work in OS X, but Amazon and their affiliates do not make it easy to distinguish the correct product
