Hallmark Card Studio 2010 Review

4 stars
I had been wanting to try a greeting card software for sometime now in hopes of being able to print cards for the seemingly endess amounts of birthdays:) I felt like this had a really nice selection of cards to choose from for all types of occasions, the kids birthday cards were especially impressive as there were over 100 to choose from. I loved the photo card feature and the fact that I could make my own photo cards for Christmas.Another feature that I liked was the ability to search by theme or keyword. I found the program to be extremely user friendly, the card quality was great, and the program downloaded and ran on my computer with no problems. Lots of cute cards and a great way to save a little money on those $5 a piece greeting cards at the store!

2.0 out of 5 stars . . . and Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium, December 21, 2009

This review is from: Hallmark Card Studio 2010 [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

I have tried installing this program on three different computers to find one that will enable it to print. I found one of the three and that's all. All 3 computers are running Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium. The program runs fine until it's time to print. Hit print and the program crashes. At first it seems that the problem stems from an inability to install the .NET framework 3.5 that comes on the program disc, but that's not it. 3.5 comes with Windows 7. (Further, I've installed .NET framework 4.0 and still no luck printing.

I wrote Hallmark tech support for assistance 3 days ago and no response. I will say that I've used previous versions of this software and although its construction is fairly old school, I have really enjoyed it. I've spent hours making cards and had fun doing it. I hope to get this thing working. I've spent hours trying to do that too!

If it installs successfully for you I'm sure you'll enjoy the program, but if it doesn't it would seem that their tech support won't be much help.

1.0 out of 5 stars Crashes everytime I print using Win 64 bit, January 23, 2010

No fix here. Every time I print, the program crashes. There is no fix. Customer support was useless. I've used this product for sometime in its earlier versions, but apparently here is the final straw. I would NOT recommend this product unless you have an OS other than Win 7 64 bit.

UPDATE: Yes they fixed the print issue....ALMOST. Now you have to re set up your printer each time. I won't remember the previous time you set up the printer. Still NO real fix and customer support pages are still useless. I would NOT recommend this product.
