Had great difficulty loading this program and had to remove 2 updates to windows XP and revert to Adobe 8 before it would load. Works OK then albeit a bit clunky. Reloaded newer versions of Adobe etc and it still works.

Once you get to grips with this it is fine, it does (I think) reduce eye strain due to the larger size buttons, BUT THIS VERSION TAKES WEEKS TO LEARN.
It's just different that's all, you will waste valuable time learning it, which as we all know costs money! If you are used to using the key shortcuts and F keys this is good as they all still work. Big problem though is if you have more than 1 machine and it operates on the older versions (guess where this is going) which will open and save a 2003 file but try it the other way round and you are stuck and a lot of your clients may not have upgraded yet so watch out. I do like it now but if had a swear box when I got it I would have spent hundreds in 3 weeks!
A great disk, both my kids loved it, I bought this to try and get my little boy to advance with his reading and he loves it. Takes a while to figure out how to get into the different rooms, but both my 4 year old and 6 yr old can work the computer by themselves using this software, it really is easy. A great interactive program.

I've been using Photostory for a month. Before that I struggled with Ulead Pictureshow, Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 and Premiere Elements 3 and Acrobat 7 for .... strewth, a year? Seemed like two. Magix Photostory is streets ahead of this competition if you want to produce slideshows. It just does that, and very well. The others (apart from Ulead) range far wider, and in my opinion, fail. Photostory is not faultless, but by the standards prevailing, it is excellent.
Good points - The timeline is excellent, and this is where you spend your time. Navigating back and forth never makes this program lag or jump, unlike the others. Best of all, you can stretch the timeline or squash it. With it stretched, you can position photos, narration and background ... Read More:

I have been using Windows Vista Home Premium for nearly two years. Initially I used it on a "Windows Vista Capable" machine, and with all the UI effects turned on it ran like a dog. I remember the same thing in 2001 when I ran Windows XP on a 233 MHz machine with 64 MB RAM (the minimum spec for XP). I have since used Vista on my other two newer machines, each of which exceed the recommended spec, and I have been rewarded with new stability and security, along with an enhanced multimedia experience. Mac OS 10.5 has nothing on Vista (I use both at work), just don't try to run it on low-end hardware and expect miracles.
Media Center is a brilliant pack-in, get a remote and plug the PC into your TV and away you go. For gamers I would recommend the ... Read More:

With the free "Complex mod", Homeworld 2 is easily still the best space war game in existence, right up there with Rome: Total War and Medieval 2: Total War.

never write reviews on products I buy over the interweb but this game is GREAT!!!! I played Road to Hill 30 and was gripped by the first few levels, without the intros in the game it wouldnt have the same effect,
The gameplay is great leading yet another bad ass squad through battle runied Normany during WWII, with enemies that are more intellgent it's harder than the 1st game!! Use as mush cover as possilbe when need be and flank when you can.
Intense gameplay and amazing grpahics this is a deffinate must have if you want to know the movements of the rest of Bakers Squad!!! It's a complete follow on it links to WWII extremelly well, just wait till Hells Highway is out, thats going to be even better!!
I read the previous reviews but do not agree with either of them. The game page has three view sizes and fills 2/3s of the screen at its biggest which is fine. I am a beginner using ACOL and providing you set up at your level and speed its excellent.
As a beginner I decide what bid I will make then check the "HINTS" and see whether the computer makes the same choice. Well worth the money and absolute bargain and a great tool for a beginner.
