I have had many problems and have contacted Broderbund about the program. I have a brand new computer (DellM1730) with XP Professional. Cant get the Art to work with the program. Am told (by Broderbund website) that it is because I loaded Print Shop 22 first and that it conflicts with Calendar Creator. They gave me an enormous amount of stuff to do to uninstall everything, Clean my Computer and install in a very complex way. I just gave up and realized that the program isn't worth it and a waste of my money.

This software was fine to use UNTIL I tried loading pictures into the calendar. THEN it bogged up my computer (which has well-beyond all the recommended specs for running this software) and it was completely unusable!!! A friend even tried it on their brand-new computer, same problem. If there are even 1-2 pictures in your calendar it will take 5-10 MINUTES to even load it, then you have a 50% chance of the program freezing up. A terrible purchase, I DO NOT recommend it!!!!!

I purchased Ultimate Organizer in hopes of correcting the issues I had on Calendar Creator Deluxe. I got exactly the same software with the same software bugs! When pictures are imported to the Calendar project, the pictures are labeled as the picture just before it. There is no way of reaching support - just a Q&A section. I've tried the email and never get an answer back. If anyone knows of another calendar software that saves dates from year to year and allows pictures, a variety of fonds, and graphics, etc. please let me know.

This program hasn't improved over the years. In fact, the discs I received were the identical ones I already had - just a diffent package! The "help" is a joke and each formatting change has to be done individually - no such thing as "do all left, right, etc." I don't know why there are so few calendar programs out there (Broderbund seems to have the monopoly), but I'll be going back to the one I get in hotmail. It's not "pretty", but at least it works.

I Tried this product and was very unhappy with it. I could not get the program to install and finally had to send it back after trying to get help but was not able to contact anyone by phone. Anyway, it is an item I will not purchase again, too much trouble.

Thia Item was bought as present, the recipient is very happy with it. Although the software is apparently not made for the UK market,
to get it to work you require a Ammerican postcode.

It appears to be a very helpful program...will know more about it the more I work with it.
