I think that might be from scanning it on my printer. My husband says that he does see some, although I just finished making it to Level 9 with 40,000 points, so I guess that it works good. And, once you upload it into your computer, you don't need the disc. There is no case, however, only the disc and paperwork, as photographed with the listing. I have a fairly new laptop, but had to upload it through the My Computer section. Quick and easy, otherwise.
