Fisher-Price Kid Tough FP3 Player — 

We bought this for our 3 year old son for Christmas this past year. When I bought it I saw that it needed Windows 2000 or XP to use it, which was fine since that was what I had. Unfortunately my computer crashed and now computers only come with Vista. This product DOES NOT work with Vista. I called the tech support number and was told that they are working on a patch to allow compatibility with the FP3 player and Vista, but they don't know how long it will take. So, here I am with an FP3 player that my son can't really use. It has the 5 songs and 2 stories preloaded with it, but he can't listen to any of his music.

Also, if you have songs on your computer, like myself, you will need to burn it onto a cd and then save it onto the FP3 player software.  It changes it over to the format that is needed for the player, since it doesn't play any MP3's.

I at this point can't say how the store is since I can't get to it with Vista. 


The toy itself is great, and I can't wait to be able to get his music and other stories on there. Once I am able to do that...I don't think he'll ever put it down!
