I have Windows XP on my computer, and I loaded this software with no problem. I think it is good software, and could be very useful for someone that does a lot of traveling. I however own a GPS, so I only use this when I want to look something up when I’m at home. It did not freeze up my computer though, and it works great.

Pinnacle Studio 20 Plus is a real nice video editing program. You can add video right from a live camera, and you can do HD or 3D as well. You can combine footage from up to 4 cameras with multi-camera editing. The tracking lets you add text or graphics that move with a person or object in your video as well. You can upload the videos to most social media sites, or you can burn it to a DVD.

This is the latest in a long string of Norton computer protection software I’ve owned over the year (It’s usually cheaper to buy new than to renew your subscription with Norton). Norton is a little pushy on how safe it wants you to be, but that’s OK. This one allows me it install on up to 5 devices, including cell phones and pads. The time remaining on any subsequent installation starts from the date of the FIRST installation…

This is fine security software. It works well, finds Trojans very efficiently and now has PASSWORD protection capabilities that allow me to eliminate another level of software and save the costs for that additional protection.nThere is one MAJOR flaw that costs two stars on this software and one minor problem that wouldn’t cost any stars, just a minor irritation.nThe major flaw is that the clock starts ticking for ALL FIVE licenses the moment you install this software on the first computer.

I really do hate giving a product only one star but this product has earned it.nI am puzzled because Corel has most of the facilities to produce a user friendly photo editing program at low cost.nAfter all, they have all of the routines coded already. In addition, since they bought out Ulead, they now have two different approaches to photo editing. While I realize that they were targeting the casual photographer, that can be done with existing routines from their other products.

I am hard pressed to even give this software 3 stars but they don’t allow half stars. While this program does do what it claims to do and is fairly easy to use, its negatives outweigh them by far. As a complex software system, there is NO EXCUS for not providing LIVE support personnel since many of the people who would use this software are fairly computer illiterate. Second is that installation of this software automatically changes the file associations of all photo and video files.

I was very disappointed with this software. It doesn’t support 64 bit architecture, which more and more computer users are moving to. Without 64 bit support this product is useless. It has a good design philosophy but until Beta testing on 64-bit support is completed it is just a waste of disk space and shelf space. I do plan to install the 64-bit version when I get the time to test it out.

This photo editor is not for the rookie. It has very powerful new tools that make editing much easier for the veteran photo editor. The most useful new tool in my mind is the area editor. Where before I had to choose a square or rectangular section to edit and then go back and get rid of the editing effects for the portions of area that should not have been changed, with the new tool you can change an area the shape of the item you want to edit and leave the rest of the area alone.
