For People who is trying to figure it out how to make the screen no GREEN SCREEN
Hi! I just figure it out how to fix it what I did is…
– Go to the Properties
– Compatibility
Then This how I set it up
1.Compatibility Mode *Check* Choose Windows 8
2. Reduced color Mod *check* 8-bit (256) color
3. Run this program as an administrator
And TADA playable! with no Green Screen!

This was always one of my favorite games. I’m so sad that I can’t play it. I’ve managed to download and play several old Barbie games but not this one. And I still have my original CD-ROM. Installing is a royal pain because it kept prompting me to install from the disc, but I was able to do that. I was able to fix the color issue by running it in Windows 95 and Windows 98 compatibility mode as administrator. The game loaded, the colors were right, and while the screen was super tiny, the game was working… until the first rescue mission, in which case it just crashed completely. So even with the original disc, this game remains unplayable and unstable. So sad. 🙁

It works, but it’s one one side and the screen is green-pinkish, almost like glitched out. I’m playing on a Dell Windows 10 laptop, and i tried other Barbie games and they work perfectly fine. Does anyone know how to fix this?

It doesn’t work. I try to open it even with the correct compatibility, It loads and then the program never pops up.

Does anyone know how to download this to play on a mac? Please comment if you know how. I have been searching options for hours and can not figure it out for the life of me!

Does this work for Windows 11? I download and mount it and stuff, but clicking Setup just shows the blue thinking circle for a few seconds before giving up, and the AutoRun opens up the installer before doing the same as Setup. I tried hitting uninstall and trying again, I tried ejecting and remounting, but nothing really works.

In reply to Honey_ Bramble. And don't forget to change to windows 95 at the same time.

It seems to freeze up for me too whenever I try to leave on the scooter for a mission. This hapened to me after I followed the compatbility instructions too.

I was able to get it running with normal color and proportions with the fix @honey_bramble:disqus suggested, but once I tried playing the game it froze. I was able to play the mini games, but as soon as the leaving scooter animation played it froze on the loading screen. I got to play the turtle game though! And that’s really what I was wanting to do.
