This review is from: Visio Standard 5.0 Old Version (CD-ROM)

I needed to do some process flowcharting for work, but didn't want to spend hundreds to get it done. I used to use this program back in the 90's and knew what it could do, so I ordered it (for under $10, including shipping). I wasn't sure if it would run properly under XP, but it turns out that it does. You will get some error messages saying that your windows version is not compatible, but just click on Don't remind me again and then click continue. I was able to create my drawings and then save them in the GIF format. I did get an error when I tried to save as a JPEG, it processed the conversion to 99% and then the program crashed. The resulting JPEG was blank. The GIF format is fine for me, so I have no complaint. This is the standard version, not Visio Technical, so if you are doing technical drawings you will need to substitute some symbols and make do with what is there in the templates. My drawings look great and cost me next to nothing. Score!
