SCRABBLE Rack Attack from Compaq
What is SCRABBLE Rack Attack from Compaq?
This is a trial version of the game that is installed with the Wild Tangent Game Center that has been pre-installed with the Compaq PC. Since the game is a trial and required paid WT coins for extended use it can be safely removed from the user's PC. The installed Game Center is required to run this game.
Overview
Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The setup package generally installs about 8 files and is usually about 14.8 MB (15,524,037 bytes).
