"Trouble with Monopoly"

I bought this when I brought home my new iMac just to have a little fun with the new system. I have enjoyed Scrabble without problems but the game I really bought the set for, Monopoly, will not run on the new system. Big disappointment. Works okay on my husband's older system but I never play it since it is not on my computer.
Tried running Scrabble on my new IMAC. Just crashes and freezes. No help from MacSoft. They advised that this version was adapted from the older PC version.
I'm running 10.4.5 on a speedy iMac G5 with 4 times the recommended RAM for this game and it does not function. As soon as I log in to play, it crashes and closes.
Adding to my frustration, there is absolutely no helpful support on the MacSoft website.
When time allows I'll update my OS like the latest reviewer noted and perhaps that will be my ticket to making this game run (howerver, I'm not holding my breath) until then I'll stick with my lo-tech board game.
I'm wondering why other reviewers have had such a problem with the games on this CD. I use the Scrabble game frequently and have never experienced a crash or any other wierd problems. I'm running the newest OS (10.4.6) on my iBook G4. Maybe others had problems if they were using an older Mac with a slower processer. You may need to have enough memory left on the harddrive in order for the game to run properly. Anyway, I really enjoy this game pack. The only issue I have with the Scrabble game is that their dictionary of allowable words isn't as extensive as the one on my Palm OS. When I've tried to use some offbeat "legal" words, it doesn't accept it and I lose my turn! Otherwise, it's a great way to pass the time.
"You would think Hasbro would give SCRABBLE more respect."
Or maybe it's the Macintosh they don't respect. Having two older versions of Scrabble for the old Mac system 9 I've been waiting many years for an update for Mac OS X. I kept checking the Hasbro Scrabble website, even the website for the European rights owner for Scrabble. For Windows, yes, but no Scrabble for Mac OS X. Finally I see this group package, although according to the MacSoft website this doesn't even exist. Took a chance. It has Risk also, a great game, and Monopoly! It crashes every time I try to load it. Nice work, Hasbro. Guess I'll have to keep system 9 around another decade or so. And will keep using iConquer to play world domination in the meantime.

The first game I played had the value of many letters deducted from my score. I had none of these letters. Yesterday I had a Bingo on my first play and the game froze. I had to force quit to get the game off the screen. Tech support is a joke.
