We have been working with the Pong game a number of hours and it is extremely sluggish. I have a control panel open, so we can see the box move up and down, but the paddle is not as responsive or is very slow responding. This makes it very difficult to keep the interest of the girl I'm working with. I am running it on a Windows 7 laptop.

You Jedi game doesnt work .. ive tried expressive and cognitive .. niether make the wing fighter move at all!

@scientist434 Thank you for your post, I actually tested on my work computer (Windows 7) and it worked perfectly. Actually seems that all systems I have tested on seemed to work fine. Windows XP sp1, sp2, sp3, Windows Vista Ultimate x64 SP1, SP2, Windows 7. So maybe these were just a few isolated incidents.
