Ad-Aware Pro 3-User/24 Months Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My fiancee researched the product prior to purchasing it. It had received good reviews. I installed on two computers and the installation was easy. But on one of my computers I had to reinstall my wireless printer it had taken the firmware off. I tried using the technical support which they refused to help, that was the only draw back. I had to reinstall the printer and everything is working great I would strongly recommend.

Propellerhead Record (for Reason Owners) Software Recording Studio for Musicians Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is perhaps the easiest decision for someone to make - would a Reason users like to be able to record audio in conjunction with Reason? Look no further.
As a stand-alone audio recording application, Record is at the top of the line for functionality, ease of use and sound. Using the same beautiful, intuitive old-school interface structure as Reason, Record is ready to use immediately after installation. Anyone who is familiar with recording on any multi-track device will find this application a pleasure to use and immensely productive. Along with multi-track recording, limited only by your computer's processing power, Record has a standard complement of audio editing tools for splicing multiple takes of any track into an ideal master. It's also excellent for mixing and remixing, with an exceptional mixer interface model after classic SSL boards, complete with built in EQ and compression and elegant effects in-out connections. Although Record has no sound modules other than an extremely basic sketch unit, it does offer the full set of effects devices.
But the details don't matter so much as whether Reason users would like to record in their application. If you have Reason, and install Record, they are immediately and completely integrated. You cannot run both simultaneously - Reason prevents Record from launching. This is not a problem of any kind, however, as launching Record makes the full set of Reason devices available to be put into a rack, just like in Reason. In fact, using Record is identical to using Reason, with the addition that you now have full audio capability. The beta-test version of this application was 99% stable and bug-free, so buy, load and launch with confidence. Absolutely beautiful, a stunning example of good design and functionality. Highest recommendation

Peachtree By Sage Pro Accounting 2007 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having worked for several small companies going back 15 years I have used many accounting software programs, all the way back to Peachtree for DOS. I have also used Quickbooks which is the competitive product, sort of. If you are an accountant Peachtree at this price is the best product available. In addition Sages full line of products allows you to step up to a higher end program(if the need ever arises) with the same look and feel as Peachtree so if your company grows bigger the learning curve in the long run could be less. This version, as it is, does most things programs costing thousands of dollars more will do.
It is definately easiest for those that know accounting. For example, someone mentioned the cost of the Payroll service and how much it is but you can do ALL your payroll for free using the user-maintained tables and tax rates. I find it simple and incredibly functionable and do payroll for free. However, Quickbooks is easier for a novice, I have clients that use quickbooks and even though Peachtree is a better product I would not even mentioning switching because it would be more headache than it's worth. Also, Peachtree is not as forgiving with errors, which is a good thing to me. I will say clents with Quickbooks generally have a complete mess in there file as quickbooks makes it very easy to just do watever you want and I'm amazed what I find in there sometimes. You basically have 2 options in this price range, 1) get Peachtree and take the time to learn it. or 2) If you want an easy out of the box solution just get Quickbooks as it will do what most people want it to do with less learning. Where Peachtree slacks(and makes a 5 start program 4 stars) is customer service is pay after 30 days and the fervor to copy-protect can sometimes make installation a hassle, especially on a network. Also, 2007 is only semi-compatible with Vista and requires a special download though the 2008 version out in June 07 is "Works with Vista" compatible or so they say.
Peachtree is powerful, likely more powerful and harder to learn out of the box than a sole proprietorship would need. If you are a business big enough to have an accountant or bookkeeper on staff Peachtree would likely be something to strongly consider. I personally think it's a great product.

GTR Evolution Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I saw GTR Evo at Amazon, I jumped at it thinking "Finally. An update to GTR2." I was wrong.
GTR2 is probably the best racing simulation game out there. It has all the detail and depth you might want from a simulation: the physics system is excellent, AI cars are appropriately aggressive and smart, car setup and configuration options are extremely detailed, and there is an excellent tutorial system that will educate you as a simulation racing driver. In short an excellent simulation and a must for any racing simulation fan. However, GTR2 is now several years old, so an update is possibly in order. This, unfortunately, is not it. Still, that's not all bad.
Compared to GTR2, Race and Race 07 were both good racing simulations but not designed to be as realistic as GTR2. GTR Evo is an extension of Simbin's Race and Race 07 game franchise. Like Race 07, GTR Evo takes the existing game and adds some new cars and some new tracks. (So, if you buy GTR Evo, you will have all the Race 07 game features, cars, and tracks.) Anyone who is familiar with the Race franchise will feel right at home with the menus, options, and general look and feel of the game.
The additions to this game are primarily GT-class cars such as Corvette, Aston Martin, Lister Storm, and others. (Conspicuously absent are Porsches and Ferraris, both prominent in GT racing.) The game also includes some "fantasy" cars. For example, the Audi R8 supercar is included, although Audi has not confirmed racing plans for it yet. Also there is a set of WTCC Extreme cars, that give the touring cars from Race 07 600+ horsepower, just in case you wanted to know what a 600 HP front-wheel driver was like.
The game adds some new tracks and combines them with the old ones. However, there is one addition here that, by itself, is worth the price of admission: The Nurburgring. The game includes the 'Ring in all its 16-mile, 8-minutes per lap glory. This is a challenging track; sweeping curves, fast sections that drop to slow corners, the famous Karussel; it's all here. If you think you're as good as Sabine Schmidt, "Queen of the Ring", here's your chance to find out.
Like Race, GTR Evo features car setup that, while not as detailed as GTR2, allows for customizing of your car's handling and performance characteristics. GTR Evo does carry over Race 07's great preconfigured files feature, that provide a good starting setup for each individual car for each track.
Drivability is very good and the physics engine gives good approximations of real-world driving characteristics (like front-wheel drive oversteer). Simbin has improved the sound effects, adding to the realism. The AI drivers are good if not quite as aggressive as you might like.
The traditional multiplayer, championship, and practice/time attack modes are still there, with the addition of a R-Arcade quick race mode.
Bottom line: This is a good simulation for those wanting a realistic racing sim. This is a good extension of the Race franchise and fans will not be disappointed. However, hard-core racing enthusiasts may want to stick to GTR2.

GTR Evolution will contain 5 new classes containing a total of 30 new car models. First there are 3 classes of GT cars, each class with its own type of GT cars. In these classes you can find famous race cars such as the Corvette C6R, Aston Martin DBR9, BMW M3 GTR, Koenigsegg CCGT and Spyker C8 Spyder GT2R. Next to 3 GT classes there will be the WTCC Extreme cars. These are fictional designs of the vision of SimBin together with the WTCC Manufacturers on how the ultimate WTCC car could look. To finish it off there will be the Production Car Class, featuring the road going versions of the Audi R8, Dodge Viper SRT/10, Koenigsegg CCX and Gumpert Apollo.

Xara Web Designer 6 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Xara/Magix software is a well kept secret in designer circles - competing against the vast Adobe juggernaut at a fraction of the price.
The software focuses on the generation of static web pages/sites by the use of a WYSIWYG design interface allowing the user to concentrate on design, without the need to know very much (nothing really) about HTML.
The software is far easier to use than HTML-based editors and when the design is complete, the software generates the html for the web pages/site and can transfer the whole site to your web host.
The software currently includes a free hosting offer from Magix.
Primarily designed for the consumer/small business market, many professional designers that use far more expensive software also use Xara software for rapid prototyping and/or small web projects, so it has a wide appeal.
The software generates HTML rather than edits it, so it's not the software of choice for a HTML coder (there is limited scope for editing the generated HTML or controlling appearance with CSS), but even for HTML coders, it is one of the fastest prototyping/mockup tools around and better still you can post those prototypes directly to the web.
This edition of the software is designed to be a low cost entry-level solution to those who don't wish to purchase the "bigger brother" to this software - Xara Photo and Graphic Designer 6 which has more design capabilities and is also highly recommended.
The manufacturer has an extensive website to demonstrate the capabilities of the software and a vibrant user community at talkgraphics.com.
The software is a bargain and almost a well-kept secret.

PDF Converter Professional 5.0 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Scansoft products used to be decent products with strong support. That was before Nuance bought them out. Since capturing a basic monopoly on Voice to text, Text to Voice, scan to text, and PDF conversion, the company has grown arrogant, and less customer oriented than Microsoft at their worst. As one reviewer wrote, they charge you for customer support. The process goes something like this.
You visit the web page, and if you product is the current generation, or one prior, (it doesn't matter, current gen get treated no better)you have to enter in your license/product code, enter in your credit card number, and agree to be charged $9.95 for a totally useless email experience that only allows you access to their support page when you get a reply. My most recent experience involves Omnipage Pro, which has PDF converter and Creator built in. Omnipage Pro is such a slow and practicality useless program, that I uninstalled it after a week. However, a need came up where I needed a PDF converter, so I thought I'd load that part of the software.
I ran set up, used custom, had PDF creator and Converter installed leaving out the scanner software, entered in my key code, started the program, was asked if I wanted to activate the software, I did, however it wouldn't let me, telling me the license code was not valid. I attempted to find the problem/solution in their knowledge base, but don't bother, there is little if anything in there other than contact technical support.
So off to techincal support I went, only to discover that even for an installation problem, I had to pay. I did, after two days I got a response, telling me they needed my license code. As I'd had to enter it to get to the support page, this was irritating but I went to the webpage since they do no allow you to just hit respond. Entered in the key and two days later got another message telling me that my key code was for Omnipage Pro, not PDF converter. Gee, thanks for telling me that since I had to go to the Omnipage section to begin my initial inquiry.
I tried rewording my request, stating I have OmniPage pro, with comes with PDF creater and PDF Converter, and only wanted Converter to install, however it rejects my key code. Another two days pass, I get an emailed response telling me I don't have the proper code for PDF converter, mine is for Omnipage Pro. Again, I was grateful for the insight.
Back to the website, asked if there was anyway I could just install the portion of Omnipage that had the separate PDF. After more than a week passed, I get an email, telling me that I must install the entire program, register it, activate it, than I can uninstall the Omnipage pro leaving the PDF converter.
Following the instruction, I load the entire program, activate it, test PDF converter which works, go to add and remove, PDF creater and converter are listed separate from Omnipage,so I uninstall it per the directions of the last email. I go to use the PDF converter, it asks me if I want to activate it, (which I'd already done, but what the heck)it asks me for my key code, which I enter, only to get back a reply the key code I've entered is not valid.
Back to the website, explain the problem, and surprise, the response after two days is "your key code is not valid for PDF converter, only for Omnipage".
I give up, decide I'll just load the entire program and live with Omnipage taking up room. I install the entire program, enter the key code, asked to activate, which I do, only to get a message the key code is not valid as I've already installed Omnipage previously. Back to the webpage. set out the problem. A week goes by, I get a response asking me for the key code, and a screen shot, and a copy of the receipt. I supplied all, and am still waiting for a response.
My advice, stay away from all nuance programs. I've spent close to two hundred dollars for a Pro version of a product, received no free customer support, and after wasting more than two weeks, still have no product to run.

Microsoft Flight Simulator X Standard DVD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me get something of my chest first. I have noticed a lot of bad feedback on reviewers who give higher ratings to products that are developed by Microsoft. So just to make it clear - I am not reviewing Microsoft, I'm reviewing the simulator.
So.. how fun is this game? Well it's your system that can actually answer this question. This game is amazing from my point of view. I have used everything, from FS98 to latest X-Plane.. and nothing is as good as this.
The Good:
- Stunning graphics. This is the most beautiful game I have ever played. From the water effects to shadows from the plane.. every effect and particle is breathtaking.
- Gameplay. It is an amazing gameplay, indeed. You can now fly in any seat you like, control literally any view of the airplane, most of the cockpit controls work and function the way they are supposed to. The weather system is amazing.
- Multiplayer. This one speaks for itself: FUN FUN FUN. It is very entertaining since you get to see people from all over the world. However, there are few cons.. like the Bad ATC guys who often mislead you and cause you to crash etc. It was foggy, so I depended on A/P. I was told to turn 074R, which I did. I heard the ILS Frequency so I put it on APP but ultimately, I was put into wrong direction and as much as APP fought to align me to the right direction (while keeping up with sped and altitude) i still landed in the ocean.. and of course crashed (since you're not able to actually land on water in this game). Of course, there are plenty of pefect ATC's out there but even with few that are not as good it's still VERY fun to play. Try it and see for yourself.
The Bad:
- ATC. ATC has not changed much from FS2004 other than a new "window" that it displays in. Still no ability to declare an emergency which is sort of a disappoint since you ARE able to set engines to fail or to run out of fuel (or both). So.. if your engines die out on you don't you think you deserve a right to report the situation to ATC? LOL
- Crash dynamics. If you're hoping to be able to crash your plane into a mountain and see a giant explosion and earthquakes then I have to disappoint you. While I almost never crash in Flight Sims I still wish there were better crashing dynamics to make it more realistic. For example, if I land heavily on my nose I'd love to see my plane's nose gear to fail and act like it would in physics.
Also, why can't we have the ability to land on water? Boeing 737 CAN do that (if propely executed). Here, no matter what amazing pilot you are.. as soon as you touch the water - you crash. Oh well. It's a very small thing but I wish it was improved a bit.
The Ugly:
- System requirements. I agree with what many reviewers said - this game depends more on CPU than it does on video card. This game will most likely NOT work at the Max settings if you have a brand-name PC (eMachines, HP, Dell).
When I first installed the game I had AMD Sempron 3300 (2.01GHz); 2GB DDR, Radeon X1650 Pro with 512MB. I ran the CanYouRunIT tool from System Requirements Lab.. the report said that I exceed RECOMMENDED requirements and should have a great experience with the game. I didn't really believe that since I have a 3rd class CPU but I played FS2004 and HL2 on the HIGHEST settings with absolutely NO lags so I thought it would work fine.
I was.. wrong. The game was not playable unless I set all of the aircraft, transport and texture settings to Minnimum Low. It lagged horribly on my native resolution of 1680x1050 32 which I had to put into 1440x900 16bit.
I purchased a new video card which is Geforce GTX 8800 with 740mb of RAM and can now play without any lags on my native resolution with settings set to Medium High but still not maxed out. Why? Because this game needs CPU. In this case, the CPU is the heart not the video card. If you buy it make sure to get the SP1 for this ASAP.. there are few performance updates which could be crucial if your video card or CPU isn't the best.
So to wrap up - I highly recommend this simulator to any Aerolover as myself. But make sure you have a GOOD CPU and card. If you have them you'll find yourself spending hours and hours flying above gorgeous landscapes, commmunicating with people all over the world, surviving a dead engine and/or faulty mechanics and generally having fun. This amazing software is both entertaining and educational.

Alter Ego Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)-Scenario-
Good double-character based. Mystery, darkness and stuff all over the place. The storyline is very interesting with that burn-'em-alive stuff.
92%
-Graphics-
Excellent. Black Mirror style houses and cellars, no pixel hunting.
92%
-Sound-
Good. Some dark ambient sounds but nothing very much scary. But it is adequate.
85%
-Control-
Great. Click the mouse and interact with the object, or right-click and interact more. Press F1 to show all possible actions in the room. Action is removed from the screen when you are done examining that object (Black Mirror theory!). Esc for save/load stuff. After saving, it returns back to the game immediately (good!). My complain is that when loading the game, you have to scroll down the save list to load the last save.
92%-Atmosphere-
Good. Nothing very atmospheric or very horrifying or very mysterious, but a good job nevertheless.
86%.
-Action-
You are either controlling Tim, a thief escaping from some sewers and later breaking into a rich man's house, or a Police Sergeant which just happens to control the case into the place that Tim once was. No fouls, no leaks, clear action.
Start with sewers, continue with cemetary. More office, sewers, funerals and murders will come through.90%
-Riddles-
That's the bad. Almost all the riddles are inventory based (2 safe openings so far - fortunately there is no jigsaw puzzle in this game), but everything is VERY easy. Because the game will help you with the F1 feature, it becomes ever more easier. You will get through it very soon.
You can die in a specific point near the end, but the game will automatically restore the position for you.
-Ending-
Well, at least there is a promise for a sequel. I expected something more impressing. It suffers from the "inadequate ending pestilence", like all nowadays adventure games.
-Overall-
Worth your money, mainly targets the new players in the genre because it is very easy, but because of the well-planned action and the great graphics it will definitely draw the attention of a more experienced player.

Legal Stock Photos and Advertising Templates for Attorneys. Legal Websites Included Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Legal Ad Pro has the potential to be a great product, but it is not even close at this stage. The stock photographs and ad templates are focused on a personal injury or a criminal defense practice (neither of which apply to me), and the web templates are not even on the CD. Much of the content links to the Legal Ad Pro web site, which is "under construction". There is additional content that is "coming soon". I gave it two stars primarily for its concept and potential, but this software was disappointing to me. I am not going to return it in the hopes that it will improve.

Multimedia Periodic Table - Cool Science Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After buying this product vendor was contacted for support or refund on shipping costs due to installatio failure. What they never said was that this product only works with Windows 98 (who has windows 98 nowadays? and who really knows if it is going to work with windows 98?) Vendor never refunded shipping cost. They should not be selling an obsolete product. My guess is that they have a large quantity in stock and are just getting rid of them in any which way the can.

Corel VideoStudio X2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For 23 years I worked for ABC-TV, maintaining video equipment costing tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. I would have never believed that many of the features of such equipment would one day be available at home for $50 on a PC.
Video Studio X2 is a pleasure to use. It comes with a little instruction book and plenty of on-line documentation but I bet most people could figure out how to make a movie by just playing around with this software. The editing capability on a clip or the entire program is simple and quickly done.
You follow a series of steps to create a flick, but you are always free to jump around and do things in any order you like. A great variety of special effects, transitions and even a painting feature allow great latitude for your creativity.
If you aren't happy with your original footage there are filters for you to doctor it to your satisfaction, changing color temperature is one example. Audio handling is quite flexible as well with handles for you to raise or lower levels to match clips. You can even speed up the audio (to 150% of real-time) without any pitch change.
Most everything is drag and drop and you build up your movie a piece at a time pulling things into place. Then you can add a second track of video to overlay the first. The PRO version will give you more than one overlay track. I used the video overlay feature to do some free-hand drawing on a still photo I took in order to point out features of interest in the photo. You can make a nifty slide show with pan and zoom and narration. It's fun and things come together in no time. Record your on voice to accompany the audio that goes with the video and then add a music track as well (many canned music tracks are included)
Drop shadows on title text, transparency and edge hardness adjustment on text, even chroma keying is available.
I've had no crashes but there is a strange quirk - when I close the program after completing my work I sometimes get a message that tells me "Windows has detected a problem and your program must be closed". This is strange because I already HAVE closed the program, so it doesn't intrude on my use of Video Studio, thank goodness. This is the only reason I don't give the program five stars.
You do need a reasonably fast PC for the program to work smoothly and quickly. I started using it on a single processor running at 2.5gHz with 2 Gig of RAM and there were plenty of momentary hesitations and some jerkiness in previewing, but no crashes. I had to have patience, but everything worked.
Recently, I obtained a dual-core PC and the performance of VideoStudio has been greatly improved in speed with few hesitations now. The faster your hard drive, the better as well. The instruction booklet gives you suggestions on hard disk settings in Windows to optimize VideoStudio performance.
I have not tried capturing analog video. That would require an analog to digital converter card and would be particularly demanding of the PC. DV capture, since DV is already digital, should be no problem.
You should remember to load your movies from your movie camera (or stills from a digital still camera) to a place on your hard drive first, then open them with VideoStudio from their location on the HD. If you leave your movies in your camera, VideoStudio will be happy to work with them by way of the USB port, but once you disconnect your camera, the program will not be able to find them and all the clips you may have created will be empty. By putting the raw files on hard disk first, you can be sure VideoStudio will always find them there.
Movie editing will make you appreciate higher speed uploads because the movies you create (which can be rendered into one of many formats with VideoStudio) will take quite a while to upload to YouTube. ISP's usually offer higher DSL upload speeds along with higher download speeds. I opted for a higher speed package solely for the faster uploading as my web-surfing has been fine with what I have had. I've found that you can multiply your movie running time by 15 or 20 to get your upload time - in other words, a two minute movie would take 20 to 30 minutes to upload, so don't plan on creating a new version of Gone With the Wind!
I highly recommend VideoStudio X2. Every time I turn around I discover it will do another remarkable thing I would not have expected for $50. Go for it.

Chemistry - Learning Tools That Work Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ordered hoping that it would work on my computer using XP since XP has a Windows 95 compatibility function. Using the compatibility function the program would not work on my computer.
