Viva Pinata for PC

Hello all

Well I bought my son Viva Pinata for the PC at Christmas.

It doesn't work. We have all the correct spec etc. The game starts off fine and we manage to play for a couple of minutes but then as soon as the whirlm comes it freezes and we can do no more!!

I have looked round and it seem this is a common problem. However not very technical so not fully getting some peoples recommendations to make it work.

Can anybody explain (in simple terms lol!!) how to try to correct it.

Thanks
Give me the boy until he's seven and i'll give you the man.

    I don't honestly understand the question (whirlm??) but a quick google brought up this site seemingly full of solutions

    No, not really can you post some more info. What is the program, never heard of it and sounds a bit obscure to me....What is "whirlm"? What are the peoples recommendations to make it work? Web site you know of? Thanks

    So sorry

    It basically a game. Whirlm is the first pinata (worm) that you get to look after and breed. Then you attract other pinatas to your garden and do the same with them. Probably still doesn't make much sense.

    Its available as an Xbox game, ds game and PC. Never had a problem with the ds version but this PC version is useless.

    If anyone is interested its also a tv programme which is currently being shown on one of the Nick channels
