It's possible that some person (possibly a kid) was fliming an adventure (presumably for a YouTube video or something similar) and saw an empty house, which was unlocked, broke in, and played the computer game.
* The blue cursor that clicks on the things Dora needs only appears after a certain time. Why? This is because the cursor points to the right, while every other cursor points to the top left. Its long absence is explained because the person playing the game has trouble controlling the mouse, because he/she's used to a left pointing cursor.
**That doesn't explain why the cursor moves in a straight line though.
*It's also possible that the reason the computer is already running the Dora program is that Dora is a sentient AI who locked the computer on her program, so that she never stops playing with people.
*In recent updates, the Dora program has gained voice control abilities, which explains the interactive segments. However, the voice analyzing program installed on the computer is faulty, and that's why Dora keeps asking the viewers to speak louder.
*In each episode, Dora travells to different places for different reasons. At least that's what most people think. The real reason is because she is looking for something that will help her escape the computer game and conquer the rest of the computer.
*Specials such as Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom are examples of times she escapes the Dora game and discovers a new program or file on the computer. Usually, in the end Dora, when defeats the villian, the villian, although looking defeated, will usually cast a spell on Dora and send her back to her own program. Now Dora will continue looking for another thing that will help her travel to another program. This will last until the next special.

[[WMG:Related to the above - more than one regeneration of the same Time Lord is at work in Dora's life]]
He was originally Swiper; when her first landed near Dora, he got separated from his TARDIS, which disguised itself as a child's backpack in order to hide, but before he could reclaim it The Map, a later regeneration, got there first. Swiper never tried to steal the backpack because he didn't want to disrupt the events that would lead The Map to getting it back, so he decided to use the regeneration as a 'vacation', being mischievous and goofing around, while engaging in no real malicious behavior. Later, after getting shot in one or more hearts by a 'victim' who didn't play by the 'Swiper no swiping' rules, he regenerates as The Map, and participates in Dora's adventures from a different angle in order to do his part in maintaining the timeline before moving on.

She was really sent to Earth by the Almighty Tallest to beat Zim at taking over Earth. She has a convincing human disguise and convincing robotic parents. Boots is a cleverly disguised SIR. She never takes off the backpack because it is her PAK. If she is ever not wearing the backpack, it is for no more than ten minutes because she would die if she did not have her PAK on for that long. All of her adventures were merely for reconnaissance so that she has a better idea of how to invade Earth.

I was watching Dora with my 2 year old daughter and the episode where Dora gets Backpack for the first time aired. The parents introduce Backpack and Map and it's a little creepy. Dora takes for granted the talking books and imaginary creatures. Dora's cousin, Diego, has a talking rescue pack and deals with talking animals but doesn't have all the strangeness that Dora deals with. The first thing I thought of when watching the Backpack episode is that she and her parents are living in an IslandofDoctorMoreau place where Dora's parents conduct extreme genetic experiments to bring inanimate objects to life...there doesn't seem to be any real city or urbanization on the island (though people are shown to exist). Also, you hardly ever see Dora's parents. They're busy turning the local population into all the talking crap that Dora deals with on a daily basis.

Dora's backpack, in addition to having the ability to keep things as big as ladders inside, is also seen as completely unremarkable by everyone in spite of being the only talking backpack in the world. This suggests that it is a TARDIS with a fully functional chameleon circuit. At the same time, The Map knows exactly where Dora needs to go to get what she wants, even in cases where no one really should know, like misplaced objects or things Swiper stole. This isn't because he's a good map, it's because Dora's adventures are a fixed point in time.
