.Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student Edition (3 User Licence) (PC)
City Travel Guides > Software > Software
from: Microsoft

January 30, 2007
My partner, a teacher, has just started at a new school. After being informed that the school uses Office 2007, she insisted that I purchase a copy for our home PC. As a software engineer with significant experience with Microsoft products, a tried in vain to persuade her that OpenOffice is not only free but also a superior product.

Microsoft Office arrived in the office post about an hour ago. So far, five people (all reasonably intelligent) have tried and failed to open the plastic box containing the software. When I get home, I will explain to my partner that she'll find the new software about as user-friendly as the box it came in.

I've given Office one-star because I've used it before and, as a software engineer ... Read More:

.Photoshop Elements 6 (PC)
City Travel Guides > Software > Software
from: Adobe Systems Inc.

October 02, 2007
This is perhaps the most infuriating software I've ever used. Having had problems with earlier editions, I checked out the available books and bought the top choice with the software. I wish I hadn't bothered. Photoshop crashes most times I use it, throws up all sorts of error messages, despite installing it no less than three times. When it does work, the editor takes about five minutes to load, and the whole package is to me totally counter-intuitive. I'm going straight back to Picasa.

.Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 (PC)

October 08, 2008
Presently on PcPro's `A-List', Adobe Elements is a cut down version of Adobe's £500+ Photoshop/Photoshop Extended CS3, and costs considerably less while still having a lot of useful photo editing capabilities. Photoshop CS3 has a steep learning curve, but not so Photoshop elements. Elements is far more home-user friendly and a lot of the program is geared towards image storage and management of the photos on your hard drive. It also helps you with emailing, web output and scrapbooks of your images. The program auto-downloads your images from the camera to folders, set up using the date, and can even process the images, say automatically removing red-eye, while it does it. Using stacks you can set up image databases [smart albums] using keywords ... Read More:

.Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, 1-Desktop, 1 year Subscription (PC)
City Travel Guides > Software > Software
from: Kaspersky Lab

July 02, 2008
This is probably the best all-round security package on the market and at this price is a must-have. Viruses, Spyware, Malware etc. infections should not be underestimated. No computer should be without security software and one product might not be enough! I would suggest a product like this plus Windows Defender(free) and Ad-Ware(free version) installed BEFORE you have an infection with regular checks because the chances are your computer is already infected which might explain the 'blue screens'! When it comes to PC 'infections' prevention really is better than cure.

.Driving Test Success ALL Tests 2008/09 Edition (PC)
City Travel Guides > Software > Software
from: Focus Multimedia Ltd

July 25, 2008
This is the new 2008/9 edition. The program says it was 'last updated May 2008' and the content talks of 2007, but it's likely the information is really up to date, as laws change relatively slowly - besides the software can update itself via the internet anyway. Put in the DVD and the program installs quickly and runs perfectly on our Vista & XP gaming PCs, plus there are a few video options that can be set to ensure it all runs smoothly [useful as the training is very video based].

Start it up, and there's a great intro video outlining the reasons to drive safely: 95% of accidents are caused by human factors, seventeen under 25s die every week on the roads in the UK, a learner driver is 7x more likely to have an accident in his ... Read More:

Brilliant product.Works perfectly, in the background, with regular automatic updates, without glitches of any description.

I replaced a Norton Internet Security software package with the Kaspersky as the Norton was causing serious issues on my PC.

The Kaspersky runs like a dream. Give it a try. Soon.
