Here's How to Fix the XP Problem !!
OK, This is a great program for kids, but VERY FRUSTRATING since (as mentioned by other reviewers already) it doesn't work under Windows XP.I did some web surfing and finally found the solution. (First go ahead and install the program even though you'll probably get an error message and then it won't work). One reviewer mentioned [...] but I didn't find the answer there. Surprisingly, I found it at a Gateway support site:[...]This explains the problems and points you to the following download: ftp://ftp.gateway.com/pub/hardware_support/gw-sold_apps/games/7512455.exe If you run this it will extract 2 files to C:\Cabs\7512455, including DMASUpdate.exe. When you finally run DMASUpdate.exe it will fix the problem and you will then be able to use Disney Magic Artist Studio under WinXP (and your kids will be verrrrry happy !).

Pretty good game
This is a pretty fun game for my daughter however, we ended up getting the Magic Artist Deluxe version. We kept getting an error message even after doing the patch for the original version. My daughter would get frustrated because it always popped up and would shut the game down. The newer deluxe version has no issues and works fine with XP which is what we have. It also has some really cool upgrade from the original. I'd wait on this and get the deluxe version (we bought a used one) and do that unless you have an older computer.

An Oldie but a Goodie, recommend for anyone that wants a fun game!
I played this as a child (I am 25, now) and I wanted to get it for my 5 year old niece. She absolutely loves it. Just like I did, there are so many different things to play with she stays entertained for hours. I recommend this for any child OR for anyone that is a child at heart :)

Not for OS X
How disappointing that Disney would release this CD Rom for OS but it is not compatible with OS X! The box says 8.1 or higher, but it's wrong. The program runs, but is unable to print. Both Disney Interactive tech support and Apple (Genius Bar) have confirmed this. Do NOT buy this for Mac if you are running OS X. (Even in classic it can't print.)

Very Kid Friendly
I have 2 kids ages 6 & 3. Both of them can work with this program independently. My 6 year old son loves to create scenes using the animated characters with music. Then he saves the scenes, pulls them up later, and adds color to them. My 3 year old daughter just loves to color in the spaces with the different coloring utensils. She can change the utensils by herself. My son has figured out parts of it that I haven't even done yet. Get it with the Sketch Board so the kids can use it like a drawing tablet and it is tons of fun! The only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is because I can't figure out how to work some of it. Then again, I don't spend as much time with it as my son.

kids loved it
Just the thrill of seeing Disney characters made this program compelling to a 5 and 7 year old. They both loved the spray can and tried the different shapes. It was a good time killer and at least the kids weren't shooting anyone. I have to also say that the kids kept laughing as they were amused at the pictures they were making.
