My kids play those old Reading Rabbit games on Win7. Some of the games require compitibility mode. Then some of them will run in a small windowin the center of the screen or compatibility mode supports resolution changes as well. Also, I imaged all the CD's and stored them on the hard drive...

I use an underscore "_" at the front of the file name to put things at the top of the list.
