1.0 out of 5 stars Broderbund Total 3D Landscape Deluxe, May 18, 2004

By	"wwwbona60" (Buffalo, New York, USA) - See all my reviews

I absolutely agree with the previous reviewer from Atlanta. This software was impossible to use. It's complicated and difficult to maneuver. Although I hold an advanced degree I felt totally lost and disappointed. I gave it to my computer savy daughter in law and she came to the same conclusion.She remarked "Basically it would not save what I did, would make my computer crash and was very difficult to use" I plan to write to the product manufacturer TLC Multi Media Inc, to see how well they stand behind their product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not User Friendly, September 27, 2004

By	Allyson G. Heisey - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The user interface was very clumsy and difficult to figure out how to use. The online reference manual provided some help but I couldn't even figure out how to slope the grounds and the housing choices were terrible. I spent too much time trying to get the right house, resize it, build a deck - it was very frustrating and time consuming. I never got to do the thing I wanted to do and that was design my landscape!

After two hours I gave up and tossed the software.

1.0 out of 5 stars XP Users BEWARE! - It fouls up System Restore, April 30, 2006

By	J. Bryce (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The other reviewers have already given their low opinion of these Broderbund landscaping programs, none of which rate high scores and which I definitely tend to agree with. It isn't particularly friendly or intuitive. My concern is more with a program that takes fully 15 minutes to uninstall ( ...what the heck is going on?) and then, after I finally do get rid of it, causes Windows XP to pop up a message telling me that it is unable to restore my computer to the System Restore Point that I had set up prior to the installation. What on earth is it doing to my systems that prevents me from doing a clean uninstall and putting my PC back to where it was? This doesn't just make me want to avoid this series of landscaping programs but makes me now question anything that comes with Broderbund's name on it.
