Computer Learning
System introduces your
baby to the world of
computers! This system
includes a Grow-With-Me
CD-ROM for three stages
of developmental learning
and a child-friendly
keyboard topper to fit
over your computer keyboard.
The Grow-With-Me software
is specially designed to grow
with your child as your child
develops new play patterns,
skills, interests and knowledge. With beginner (level 1), intermediate (level 2) and
advanced (level 3) levels of play, your child will stay challenged. And, as you play
and learn together, you’ll know when it’s time go to the next level or to review
a previous one!
Press any button on the keyboard topper in beginner for fun surprises. In
intermediate, press a button for alphabet or number recognition; telephone play
and more. In advanced, images on screen prompt your child for a specific response.

software will provide a safe and enjoyable shared experience for you
and your child. Do not leave your infant or toddler unattended in

with a computer.

1. Insert the CD-ROM disc into the CD-ROM drive. When the Baby
Smartronics™ folder appears on your desktop, click on it.

another third-party extensions manager, such as Conflict Catcher or
Startup Manager). Check your Control Panel for this utility.

in a folder called “Extensions (disabled)” and the Control Panels in a
folder called “Control Panels (disabled).”
5. Restart your computer and install the software again.
