The YoungMinds CD-ROM was completely remade for 2012. It is now one big website that looks like this one [donnayoung.org] with the same familiar navigation.
YoungMinds being a site-cd indicates that it is a copy of donnayoung.org and that is what it is. YoungMinds is a copy of donnayoung.org with some exceptions. The exceptions are listed below.
All that you need to use YoungMinds on CD-ROM is a computer and a web browser (pre installed on most modern computers). An online connection is only required to follow external links.
Like donnayoung.org, a PDF reader is required to open the PDF files. 
Some files on the cd require a word processor that can open DOC, DOCX, or RTF files. 
XLS and XLSX files require a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel. I do not provide software.
V Planner seems to require Microsoft Excel; let's just say that it does to be safe. According to those who have tested it, V Planner will not work with Numbers.

I have purchased your two previous YoungMinds cd versions. You have been the best source of helping me to organize my homeschool planners and portfolios. I have so many other resources but yours works the best for me. I can easily adapt, pick & choose what works for us. I am interested in the YM's CD 2009. What is it for returning customers? Thank you,again for your website and resources. You have taught me much. :)

This page is just "6". The planners that I am going to link on this page will have 6 divisions in either direction. Three more new pages in this group are: 5x9 Grid Lesson Planners | Mixed Type Planners | Specialty Planners
The information on this page is for those who want to (and can) teach their children to drive. I was able to do this and I am sharing the checklist booklet that I used.
You will find a few kindergarten diplomas, promotion certificates, diplomas, clip art, and docs. All of the files are either new or remade.
Over 100 files to choose from, each one has a small image. I spent a few hours on this set one day. The links to the files are grouped by themes.
I had to redo the entire science section for the 2012 CD-ROM. Just go there when you have a few minutes and look around. Some of the pages: The Human Body | Grow a Butterfly | Keeping a Garden.
This is a dated 6-column ruled planner that is very plain and starts in July. It's not just one page, it is the whole year. There are no subject divisions and I did that on purpose so you can use the columns as needed.
Count and Add has a dominos theme with dots to count when adding and with dominos at the bottom of the worksheet. I didn't make many worksheets, however; I made a set of dominos and templates, read more at the page. Counting and Adding
The paperless drills have been on the cd-rom for years, but if you are new to the cd-rom, then the drills will be new to you. The drills are simple, if the child picks the wrong answer, then he goes back to try again.

What this product is:
The YoungMinds CD-ROM is a large web site on a cd-rom.
What this product is not:
YoungMinds is not a link-farm of internet resources but it does
contain some internet links. It is not a computer program. It
is not a complete curriculum, however you may not need to buy some
things such as handwriting worksheets. It is not software that is
installed, nor will it load automatically. see
instructions This product is not professionally produced or outsourced. I, Donna Young, do all of the work on the CD-ROM and DonnaYoung.org.
Is it compatible with...
I have at home, Windows 98, XP, Vista, and Windows 7 and the CD should work with all versions of
Windows from 95 and up, including Windows 7.
It has been tested successfully
by a third party on a G4 Power Book Macintosh running the OS X system; however, it does not always work on a Mac. I've heard from one customer whose Mac would not run the CD.
If,
after you receive your CD-ROM, you find that it will not operate on
your computer, please contact Donna immediately.
I don't live in the United States, can I buy your CD-ROM?
I apologize for not shipping outside of the USA, but no, I do not ship the cd-rom outside of the USA.
Some files will require that you have a certain program:
I can not guarantee that all of the files on the CD-ROM will open
for you. Some files require Microsoft Word or a compatible word processor and some files require that
JavaScript is enabled. However, if you can open the Word
files from this site, then you should be able to open most or all of the
doc or rtf files on YoungMinds. XLS files requires Microsoft Excel or a
compatible spread sheet program. V Planner requires Microsoft Excel.
