Environments / Mini-Games Not Seen or Running Slowly
To fix slow or not working Environments or Mini-Games open an Environment or Mini-Game, then go to Choose Display => Use Smaller Videos to Speed Playback.
Keeping your graphics card drivers up-to-date is also recommended. Also if you are using a virtual machine software, such as Parallels Desktop on a Mac, make sure you are using the latest version, as virtual machine support for 3d games and intensive graphics displays requires the latest updates to your virtual machine software.
The Alive Environments and Mini-Games are the most graphics intensive parts of Alive and may have problems if you do not use the above fix, and your computer does not have a recent ATI or nVidia graphics card, does not have up-to-date video drivers, or you are running Alive through a virtual machine on a Mac.

Tropical Heat
Spend ten minutes a day playing relaxing heart rate feedback games to reduce stress, optimize breathing, and improve performance at work.
Alive is terrific for kids and teens. So far I have used it primarily with 11 to 16 year-olds. With other systems, I could never get an accurate heart rate signal from many younger children because they were so wiggly, and I often had to have very short training sessions because of their short attention span. With Alive, these children sit quietly and don't want to stop, even after 55 minutes. To quote one young boy who caught on immediately: "I have to stay calm even when things get hard."
We got a call from the school principal: Our son is doing better! I'm sure that Dual Drive has been a factor in his improvement. I love watching him calm down and breathe.
