1.0 out of 5 stars NOT RECOMMENDED It worked okay then........., April 16, 2003

Was working fine with my HP laser and XP, simple record keeping. Then the darn thing started printing checks from 2 months ago instead of the one I wanted to print. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROGRAM TO ANYONE. I had to go back and make sure the right check numbers were with the right checks because it was also changing check numbers on me. Tech supoort for $24.95, + per minute fees. Now that takes guts especially on a product that is only 3 months old. Shop around, trust me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't print in W2K. Lousy tech support, March 10, 2003

By 

"mcumba" (Jackson Heights, New York USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mycheck Writer Home & Business (CD-ROM)

I bought it for win2000. Their print driver doesn't work - doesn't print at all. The company acknowledges the problem on the their web site and gives a "wonderful" recommendation: "Cancel all printing jobs and try again"!...? Their live tech support is [expensive] plus per minute charges. Email support answered in 24 hours and even offered call me. The guy was nice but his advise absolutely useless. After going through the routine of checking my printer's settings he sent a word file with 18 steps instructions. ... The file tells you how to uninstall and, then, reinstall the software. What a brilliant solution!... When I told them that it still didn't work, they sent an email saying, basically, that they know about the problem and have no idea what the hell is going on. Would never buy anything from this company and, hope, neither will you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rotten software, worse support, February 15, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Mycheck Writer Home & Business (CD-ROM)

There's bad software, awful software, and "aw just stick a fork in me" rotten software. "Mycheck Writer..." by Elibrium falls under the third category.

Installation is painful. Operation gives repeated "...dll failed" errors. Installs a very fussy printer driver called "greatland" (from another company with competing check printing software), which will fail suddenly. Installation also places hundreds of awful fonts in your windows fonts directory, which are not removed through the uninstall process.

After painfully getting an install completed on my laptop in Aug '03, I was able to print using my inkjet for a few months. (No, you don't really need a laser printer and the MICR toner cartridge that they try to sell you. At least I didn't. Banks and businesses had no problems with my inkjet printed checks.)

Then out of the blue, it starts printing my checks without the routing/transit/account number line. Of course, after a few months of use with only limited trouble, I didn't notice. (My awful mistake, of course.) Suddenly, my checks are being returned to me with comments like "The document enclosed is not a legal banking instrument". Great.

I try re-printing the checks, but now the "greatland printer driver" is giving me errors to the effect of "print command received from illegal application. Contact technical support"

I'm on the horn with my bank now to get some regular checks printed. There's no way I'm going to waste my $24 or more on their technical support.

Good luck folks! If you find a simple check printing interface, please post!
