To play the full Deluxe version, use a working EXE or ISO installer to install the game on the PC - as indicated in my previous comments here.

Would it be “safe” for me to not update her Toshiba anymore, and for her to still play her beloved game? I’m not very computer savvy, and worry that her laptop being connected to the internet for a few hours each day while she plays may open her up to bad things if it’s not patched every month. I’ve been continuing to do them because in order to play Bookworm it apparently needs to be connected to the internet, even though it’s been loaded onto the laptop via the installation disc. My question – I’d like to stop with the monthly MS updates on the Toshiba. The only thing she uses the Toshiba laptop for is to play the Bookworm game since it can’t be loaded onto the Chromebook. She has an old Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 and I’ve just recently bought her a Chromebook, which she uses to check email and surf the web. We have the disc to install it from and over the years, have re-installed it a few times when it mysteriously disappears. My Mom, in her late 80’s, is a devoted fan of the old “Bookworm Deluxe” game by Pop Cap.
