I totally agree with the reviewer that complained about the difficulty to get into the box. I too was foxed until I stopped trying to open it instinctively and had a concentrated thoughtful good look at the box. Whoever came up with the design... please, let others do the job. Packaging isn't meant to be a puzzle to be solved.
As for the software itself... hmmm... I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive after reading the divided opinions here and I guess my three stars indicate that I, too, am divided about it. Maybe once I have used it for a year or so, I might get the hang of it but as of now, I am still missing the old version and trying to work out the new.
its easy to use i would reconed it to any one but make user you uninstall all other virus promgram frist by going to their own web sites toget the uninstailer

I have been reluctant to upgrade from XP for a while because of all the negative things I've heard about Vista. Being a computer geek I always thought it somewhat ironic that this is exactly what everyone was saying when XP came out and I had always wondered if this was just the same lack of will to change.
I'm now convinced that that is all it is. Vista 64 is great. Whatever rubbish people say about the difficulty of finding drivers really isnt true - all my software, hardware and games run on it with no problem at all.
It looks great, is much faster to use than XP once you get the hang of it - the layout makes more sense and I reckon Vista 64 gets better performance out of your components than XP.
64bit Vista is the only windows ... Read More:

I bought this after seeing the OU recommended it to their students. I did learn the basics in just under 90 minutes and I think this is an excellent course for the money. I also bought another touch typing course that once you pass a level you get a certificate ( which is what i was looking for) so I did this first in the 90 minutes then did the course which gave a certificate once the level had been achieved !!! Turns out once you completly finished this course you get a certificate of completion ! An added bonus!!!

I have always had a soft spot for Publisher and still use the 2003 version for my teaching and for producing teaching handouts. I haven't bought the 2007 version but have looked at it and it all seems very similar to what has gone before.
For the money, it looks very expensive these days and very poor when compared to products from Serif and the like. Also, remember the latest version of Word makes a good stab at being a half decent DTP application, at least for simple projects. Buying both really is bordering on duplication.
I think I would need a lot or persuading to part with £140 for something which is really a tarted up version of 2003. Most of the time I use a Mac and an application called Swift Publisher, which knocks the socks ... Read More:

I bought this for my 8 year old niece - apparently now we have to call it "the game that I love " . She has played with it every day for over an hour - its not easy but that just makes it even more fun ! I am now the "best Aunty in the world " for buying this for her ! She also told me I had to leave a review ! Highly recommended by Haannah (aged 8 ) !

My sister and I loved this series of games. We would spend a long time on it having fun and pushing our logic that bit further. We recently re-bought it (our original only worked on windows 95 I think) and spent ages re-living it all over again. Yes, perhaps recently we have not been on it that much, as we are now 18 and 19 years old and are at college and uni, but I have to recommend it to everyone. Also, if you want to buy some computer games for your kids but don't want their brains to mush, we loved 'Maths Rescue' and 'Word Rescue' - fantastic for learning how to spell and do basic maths sums. Overall, love it! :)

I have no problem with the content as such (tend to agree with previous reviewers), however, the software looks ancient. You only get it to work if logged in as an Administrator, or the program halts prompting a message "Error opening tune file ...". The tune file referred to cannot be found on the computer either because (it seems) this is internal to the program which is quite hopeless as you cannot do anything with the prompt message even if you're software literate (such as changing the folder/file permission as appropriate, assuming it's access permission problem which appears to be the case). The Publisher indicates Windows XP as being supported, but really NO, that is NOT the case if you cannot run the program as an ordinary User of the computer. Administrative ... Read More:
