I bought this primarilly to copy my large collection of music across several DVDs (something it claims to do). However it crashes when I import lots of files.
No updates, seemingly total lack of any reponse from support. I would avoid this software like the plague.

Ninja Brain Workout is excellent on Windows Xp. There are many hours of enjoyment to be had with Jigsaw Mania (it is addictive!!). You can make your own jigsaws and email them to friends. The other games are very good also.
There is a mouse problem when installed on Windows Vista 64. Mahjong and Jigsaw Mania lose contact when picking up a piece and drag it along like a dog on a lead. All of the the other games work perfectly in Vista 64.
The Makers state that it is not designed for Vista 64.
If you want hours of fun then try it. It is well worth it.

Well like so many, I bought it when it was on offer...
Installed and made my fist whole system back up. Lets face it, you never know if its done it right until you have to use it...fortunately it had as I reformatted my harddrive and reinstalled as hoped...
thats the good
the bad is since then I have not been able to create another wholesystem backup - well not one that I feel confident of...
and after 3 or 4 emails to their support - each time it has taken AT LEAST 1 week to reply and then displays a complete lack of understanding of the question
if you need to be sure that you have a good backup, shop elsewhere

I have had mixed experiences with Zone Alarm in the past so I was keen to see what they have to offer in this latest version.
Firstly, and this was not a good start, it refused to run on my test machine, an Asus A6U notebook running Vista SP1. It installed quickly, apparantly without incident, and following the requested restart all seemed well. However, I found clicking on the Zone Alarm tray icon produced no result neither did clicking on the application icon itself. A second attempt following a reboot was no luckier and so I was forced to uninstall the application and try again on a second machine.
On my second machine, a desktop again running Vista SP1 things fared better but the startup time of my machine was increased significantly. ... Read More:

Well, the idea was good. But so many short cuts and poor choices have been made in the 'game's development that the product is next to unusable. Problems indluce-
* On slow machines, the game speed is locked to the framerate so the game slows down to a crawl.
* The game auto-selects and in some cases, auto-changes gears for you. Thinking about gear changes is really important to learner drivers.
* No pedal support.
* If you make even a slight mistake in a practice session, it aborts and sends you back to the begining - extremely annoying and unhelpful.
* you get a top down view of your car in a little window, so that you can 'cheat' any of the manouvers. Hardly a good thing to learn to rely on.
