For the record, this particular version of ClickArt's images are compatible with PrintShop, PrintMaster, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Works, Microsoft Publisher, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe PhotoShop, CorelDraw, QuarkExpress, and more. If that's not compatible enough, then I guess you really are out of luck.

Far too often reviewers (that have very little expertise with a particular product or field) rant on about what they perceive is a failure of the product, when in reality it's not a failure of the product, it's a failure of the individual in not reading the manual, not following proper directions, or simply not checking for compatibility when purchasing the product.

We see this all the time in the technical field, so often that we generally tell the customer (that's ranting on about how a product doesn't work when we know it does) that their hardware or software issue is called an ID-IO-T (pronounced I-D, I-O, T) error. It makes them feel good, and they don't even realize that to the tech working on their issue ID IO T errors really means (idiot).

That's not to say that some hardware or software doesn't work, but even then it's usually caused by somebody assuming that a 5 year old Windows XP version of software "should" work on his/her Windows 7 Pro 64 bit workstation. Unless it states Windows 7 Pro compatible on the box, don't assume it works and most of your tech support issues will magically disappear.

The same is true with hardware configurations as well.

So far click art seems to be much more than I thought it would be, I'm very pleased with it.

Don't buy these generic and uncompatible graphics. Because most of the images are Windows Metafiles, they are incompatible with a lot of design software. I was never actually able to encompass any of the art into my websites for this reasons. Also, most of the clipart was pure junk. Then when I tried to uninstall the software, I couldn't. Don't pay $.01 for ClickArt.
