4.0 out of 5 stars Print Shop 23 Deluxe works fine with Vista, October 10, 2008

By 

George Pet (Howard Beach, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Print Shop 23 Deluxe [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

After hearing that Print Shop 22 was not compatible with Windows Vista, I waited and recently purchased Print Shop 23 Deluxe. Pay attention to the operating system requirements. You must have either Windows XP SP3 or Windows Vista SP1. The installation discs are DVD-ROMs, NOT CDs, so you must have a DVD drive.

Unlike previous user reports of long delivery times, damaged discs and corrupt installs, my package arrived from Amazon in two days and included two shiny unblemished discs and a half inch thick user manual.

The setup was painless and took just under 25 minutes for a complete installation including registration and a short optional survey. A full install including artwork stored on the hard drive will take up close to 8GB.

The program launched flawlessly right after installation (no Restart required) and the features worked just fine. It will take several seconds for Print Shop to initialize (as did prior versions) but a little patience will be rewarded.

Print Shop has always been a great application and this new version follows that tradition!

3.0 out of 5 stars Print Shop Deluxe 23, October 22, 2008

This review is from: The Print Shop 23 Deluxe [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

I am so sad to give Print Shop Deluxe 23 a rating of only "3". I have used this program since it was a "6" and no matter what other print programs I've purchased this has always been the best. But, when I open the graphics there are many to choose from, but there are many more not accessible. Under those graphics it says "available online". First off I've paid for the program, full suggested retail price. Well, apparently that's a sin. I should have downloaded it. No one will talk to me. Broderbund will not acknowledge Deluxe 23 and said I should go to Encore. I waited 34 minutes on their customer service only to be told the same thing. I tried to log onto Riverdeep, but another company kept coming up. I cannot get the extra graphics "available online" for the life of me. I've spent literally hours trying to make this work. I'm not super computer smart, but I've been around the block a little. So I can only give my favorite program a "3" and hope that you have an easier time than I.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not compatable with 64 bit systems, March 30, 2009

This review is from: The Print Shop 23 Deluxe [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

Purchased product through Amazon without problem. Tried loading Print Shop 23 on my HP Vista 64 bit system with 6 GB RAM and 500 GB Hard Drive. Couldn't do it as I kept getting error messages. Tried calling Encore per instruction booklet. Electronic message for Print Shop 23 said to go on line for tech support. Encore's web site indicates that most of their products are not approved for 64 bit Windows XP or Vista systems unless it specifies 64 bit on the box. Print Shop 23 just indicates Windows XP and Vista with no bit amount specified. Seems it would save everyone trouble if they specified bit amount on the outside of the box or in their specs. Very unprofessional in my opinion.
