And I have the version 5 at home, but despite my best efforts it won't run past the introductory screen on Windows 7 (my OS). It stalls when you select a lesson. No combination of compatibility, install directories, disabling UAC or granting the application explicit Admin rights has rectified it thus far. But thanks for trying to be helpful, everyone.
