1.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't work, May 4, 2002

By	Nancy Reindl (Morrison, CO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can't get this CD to work with Windows XP. There's no sound and no video. I tried the technical support on Transparent Language's website but their solution didn't work either.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT on-line software, March 6, 2002

By A Customer

This CD will interface with the company's web-site for on-line exams, but it is NOT an on-line program. I did notice that the written alphbet pronounciation guide is different from the pronounciation of the speaker on the CD, noticably for LL, j, g and y. I don't know which is correct, and wonder if there may be other errors. Still, for [the money] you can't really go wrong.

2.0 out of 5 stars Softward needs to be upgraded, August 1, 2002

By	Barbara M. Rood (Baltic, CT United States) - See all my reviews

I like the contents of the A+ Spanish wordwise; however, the mechanics of this program doesn't work to well. In fact before I purchased German Now 9 (I have German Now 8, Spanish Now 8, and A+ German.) the special features ran somewhat, now only the written, the pronunciation and flash cards part of this program works. I have Windows Me. Perhaps if Transparent Language would update like they did with German Now 9, it would work better on the more recent Windows. Depending what computer system you have, I would recommend buying it.
