1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, December 20, 2002

I just purchased Calendar Creator 8.0 and it will not print with Windows XP. I spent over 4 hours with tech support at Lexmark, over 2 hours folowing Borderbund's tech support advice to download new printer drivers and finally made a call to Borderbund (not a free call - waited 23 minutes paying long distance). After about 5 minutes, the tech support person told me that they were having problems with Calendar Creator running in XP and there was no solution at this time.

1.0 out of 5 stars I HATE IT!!, May 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Calendar Creator 8 (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

I finally had to upgrade since my old version wouldn't run on XP. This one runs but printing is a total pain-in-the-butt! Unlike the other reviewer, I did manage to get it to print, sort of. (Maybe I have a different LexMark printer.) But overall, the whole package stinks!! Learning curve is horrible. Nothing is intuitive! Events keeps rescheduling themselves. Defaults don't work. If all you want to do is print out pretty calendars with nothing on them, then fine. It's cheap. Go for it. Maybe it will work. If you want one place to keep track of your life, maybe it will work. It's cheap. But you might look at other packages first before settling for this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware, July 18, 2004

I bought this software locally, and tried to install it yesterday. Instructions say to shut down any background programs when installing in Windows ME, which I did. Not only did the software not install--although there were noises and blinking lights--the process somehow made my CD and DVD drives "undetectable" by my computer, just as if they didn't exist. Upon going to the support URL listed on the package, I found out the product is no longer supported, so if there's a problem you're on your own. I got my drives back through system restore and Windows Update.

So, be careful with this one, especially if you have any of the newer Windows OS's; it was evidently made for the older ones and has compatibility problems. I was surprised and disappointed, because I've had good luck with Broderbund before.
