When I run the program, I don't hear any sound and there is a black box that appears in place of the animations.

The reason this may be happening is that you need to install the version of Quicktime that comes with the CD even if your computer already has a version on it.

Follow these steps:

  1. Unintstall the program completely from the "Add/Remove" Software icon in Control Panel.
  2. Next, reinstall the program, make sure you click on "Agree" at the end of the installation process for the Apple Quicktime. Even if your computer already has a version of Quicktime, still click on "Agree". The computer will keep both versions of Quicktime on your computer. During the Quicktime installation it may say "An existing version already exists on your computer etc.." If it says this just click "skip" and then "install". This will install the version of Quciktime that comes with the CD but will also keep the version that came with your computer.

For Roller Typing my scores are not updating even when I receive a higher score. Why is this?

In order for your scores to be updated in Roller Typing, you need to get at least 25 words per minute or higher AND 90% accuracy or better.

Example: You receive a score of 23 wpm and an 87% accuracy on your first try (regardless of event). On your second try you receive 24 wpm and a 92% accuracy. This will not update because the 24 wpm is below the 25 wpm cut off line. The 25 wpm and 90% accuracy scores are the minimum requirements to make it into Star Row.

How can I delete a name in Gold Medal Math?

Unfortunately you can not delete a name by itself. In order to delete a name you have to reinstall the program. This however will clear out everyone else's name.
