vividas programme download?
My daughters have these Dora the Explorer pc games which worked on our old pc but will not work on the new one. The old system was windows xp the new one is windows vista. When I try to install the game it says this programme requires a missing windows component. When windows searches for the missing component it cannot find a solution. The games are powered by VIVIDAS and I have no idea what I should download to get the games working.
