I use this on an older tablet PC with pretty dated hardware specs, yet Sketchbook installed and runs smooth as silk. This was my first opportunity to use this program and I must say I am impressed. In the past, I’ve used vector-based programs like Illustrator, but if you are a traditional freehand artist who just wants the flexibility of paper tools without compromises like the frustrating pen tool, this is the ticket.

Installation was simple. During the setup you can configure settings for home network, firewall, and parental control. Choices are clear and you can change your selections later if you decide. You also get the opportunity to decide between simple and advanced interfaces. The advanced interface offers more configuration options which will likely be needed later if you plan to utilize the full features. Updating took a little while when I installed from disk.

The product consists of several PC CD-ROMS, audio CD’s, headset w/microphone, and instruction manuals. Installation was fairly straightforward although product activation is required. After installation and activation, we were prompted to configure the speech recognition. This was easy and it works surprisingly well. The beginning lessons were concise and easy to understand. It basically teaches you the words, you repeat them, and the speech recognition guages how well you did. This is a great way to learn because it also teaches pronunciation.

The full program comes on one DVD. No content or extra discs to install. After installation, the program advised it was ready to install service pack 3. I clicked install and it indicated the installation was successful and launched the program. However, when I clicked check for updates, it again said service pack 3 was available. I installed the service pack again, restarted and it finally said the program was up to date.
