Groovy Shapes Single User

This program will not run on Window 7 out of the box. I went to Sibelius's web site and they had this to say:

********************************************************************************************************************
The three products in the Sibelius Groovy Music range -- Groovy Shapes, Groovy Jungle and Groovy City -- all rely on Adobe/Macromedia Director technology, which is currently incompatible with Windows Vista.

When you run one of the Groovy products on Windows, you will see a message that informs you Macromedia Projector has stopped working, and Groovy will not run.

To solve this, you can run Groovy in compatibility mode:

*Click the Start button
*Select Computer from the menu to see your computer's disk drives
*Navigate to C:\Program Files\Sibelius Software\Groovy Shapes (or Groovy Jungle or Groovy City)
*Right-click the Groovy application icon and select Properties from the context menu
*In the dialog that appears, choose the Compatibility tab, switch on Run this program in compatibility mode for: checkbox and select Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5) from the drop-down list
*NOTE: If Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5) doesn't work try the Windows XP (Service Pack 2) option.
*Click OK
Now run Groovy Music as normal from its icon in the Start menu. You only need to do the above procedure the first time you run Groovy Music -- thereafter you can simply run the program each time from its icon in the Start menu.

Their solution works up to a point in Windows 7 (I have no idea if this works in Vista). The program does in fact run, but the sound slowly degrades until it's too distorted to use the program. My kids get about 10 minutes of play. From the little play time we've gotten it looks like an interesting product but for me at least it is not worth the trouble.Get more detail about Groovy Shapes Single User.
