Awesome Software

I am pleased with this software. I am able to do so much with my photos. I like the ease of use and every thing about the software. The service was as expected.
Excellent Software! 2007-07-10
I've been purchasing The Print Shop for about 5 years now, and this latest edition is the best one yet. I'm having so much fun exploring and tinkering with some of the new features! My creative projects are really going to pop after I start using this bad boy with a vengeance. :-)
At the beginning, I was puzzled as to why the installer did not launch when I put in the Install DVD-ROM. But, fortunately for me, I'm a bookworm and I actually took the time to read page 13 in the user's manual. It told you what to do if the program did not launch. For Windows XP, simply click the Start button, click Run, and type D:\Setup.exe. Make sure you substitute the letter for the actual drive you're using in place of the letter "D." Mine just happened to be "E." The Install Wizard popped right up and ran smoothly with no problems. I had it installed in less than five minutes.
Installing the Design Suite software was little tricky, but I soon figured it out. It didn't launch right away, either. For Windows XP, simply click the Start button, click Run, and type D:\launcher.exe. Make sure you substitute the letter for the actual drive you're using in place of the letter "D." Again, mine was "E." It will open up another window with about 4 files listed. Double-click the blue icon at the bottom and the blue and white Design Suite window pops up. On the right side of the screen near the bottom, you'll see 4 blue tabs. Each one is a different component of the Design Suite. One thing to remember: Leave the original blue and white Design Suite window running in the background. The reason for this is because every time you click on one of the blue tabs, you're going to open up a new window. Once you're finished with one of the programs, just close the newest window and go back to first one and click each successive blue tab. Continue to do that until all of the components are installed. Then you can close everything out.
All in all, it took me about 15 minutes total to install all of the components, including the time it took me to register them. The programs are easy to use and easy to navigate. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.
In the end, I'd recommend this software to all and give them this bit of sound advice: If you have problems installing ANY type of software, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! A little reading at the beginning will save you a lot of time in the end. It's a shame the previous reviewer had such a hard time and couldn't complete in the span of a day what took me approximately 15 minutes to complete. Hope this review helps someone!
junk - do not buy!!!! 
2007-01-08
This product is an absolute piece of junk. Do not buy this product. Will not even load properly onto computer. Have wasted several hours trying to install product on windows XP platform with no success. I have wasted a whole day trying to install this piece of junk on my computer, now I will probably waste another day trying to return this bunch of garbage to the vendor.
