Some 500 Early Childhood Connections bundles shipped with the wrong version of the Silly Noisy House CD-ROM. They have received the LS55 version and the Early Childhood Connections package installs the LS25 version of the Silly Noisy House software on the hard drive. You can confirm the CD version by looking on the Silly Noisy House CD on the left side in the red field above the title.
When you click on the custom Silly Noisy House icon on the custom Early Childhood Connections At Ease folder, At Ease launches the old version of the Silly Noisy House software from the hard drive which is not compatible with the LS55 CD.
RESOLUTION:
The Apple Assistance Center can send SNH/ECC patch disk (1-800-SOS-APPL). This disk includes instructions for replacing the At Ease Customizer file in the At Ease items folder and replacing the Silly Noisy House application folder on the hard drive with the Silly Noisy House application folder from the LS55 CD. Once this operation is completed, the new At Ease Customizer file will launch the new software from the hard drive which will work with the new cd fine.
