I bought the previous version of this software sometime in 2002 only to find that it didn't run on Windows 2000. I ran it on Windows 98 only to find that if you entered any dates above the year 2000 that it would crash.

So onto the current version, well it still doesn't run under windows 2000. I reported the problem to Kiplinger and they said ask for a refund.

I'll be looking for my refund, I would suggest that you don't buy it in the first place.

As a side note the included manual/leaflet tells you to visit www.....com to register your product and for support, unfortunately that isn't their website.

If you are curious as to what it does on windows 2000 here are the details. The program starts but never shows a window. If you look on the processes in task manager you will find willpower.exe running, in fact if you start the program many times you will find many of them there. So without a window showing you can't use it.

will make you regret that you bought it. It barely even ran on my Mac in Classic mode, and would not run at all in OS X, athough it states that it is supported.

I really can't say enough bad things about this application; even when I did get it running under Classic, the quality of the application was just awful. Horrible unintuitive interfact, poor "interview" process, and poor results. It's difficult to use if you can get it to run at all. I will I could return it.

They should take this off the market... Do it right or not at all.

This is a ridiculously bad program. It's basically a word processor with some blank spaces for personal information, but for some reason it runs reaaalllly slllooowwwwww... I have know idea why. I have a fast computer that can handle video editing and photoshop files with ease and this thing just pokes along. You end up with some gibberish that needs to be corrected, and when you export, it just gives you the first page several times. I wouldn't trust anything that came out of this piece of junk.

Don't buy it. Keeps crashing during the start of making a will. Need to find different software.

I have enjoyed using this product, and would certainly recommend it to anyone seeking a simple way to create these documents via software.

I admit I had to pay attention to the instructions, but I found the software easy to use. Alls well that ends well.

I have mac os 10.2.4 on my computer. Willpower will not open. It will run in OS 9, but I'd rather not boot in OS 9 for a program to work that is suppose to work on OS X.

The only reason I got it was because it was free after rebate. Not worth doing that.
