This arrived 3 days earlier than stated. I read the manual over lunch. Installed it after lunch, 10 mins, loaded updates 2 mins, made my first backup of three NTFS partitions in 25 mins. Created recovery disc and Lights out restore partition 15 mins. Tried a restore of C drive and guess what; it worked. No,I am not a computer nerd (well I don't think so) I am an over 70 retired legal clerk.
My advice; read the manual(RTFM). Thank you Symantec for a product that just works without fuss.

Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5 Excellent piece of kit - simple and quick!, 2008-07-30
This is, in my opinion, an excellent purchase. The Dazzle is effective and does exactly what it says it does. I found the software quick and easy to install, and there was no need for any "patches" on my system (Vista), unlike (I think) on some older versions of the program.

The software itself is perfectly simple and effective - it takes you through step-by-step, and allows you to customise the menus of the DVDs with the included templates or your own images. It's slightly limited if you wanted the DVDs to look more professional, but for my uses it was quick and easy. It also allows you to add music and alter the fonts/layouts of the scenes. It's slightly annoying having to play each tape at normal speed, but that's to be expected and you can watch the video playing in the corner of the window, which is nice to check that it's still running properly.

I would have liked it to be possible to manually change the layout of the scene icons on the DVDs but, as it specifies, it's meant to be simple and quick. Another slight problem is that the software shuts itself down if the screensaver comes on or I lock the computer. At least, that's what I find with mine! It also eats up memory like there's no tomorrow - on my computer (2GB memory) it's hard to run anything else without the video jerking!! Other than that, I've had no major problems apart from a few issues (it had a "burning error" after hours of work, though that may be my burner). You should also be aware that the quality of the DVDs is only as good as the VCR - any issues it has are carried over and probably amplified on larger screens, but there's probably no problem with newer video players.

I really like the design of the hardware - it's quite large but looks very modern and only has a few ports so it's easy to hook up to the VCR. I had to buy an adapter lead for it to work with our VCR but that was easy to get hold of and it does the job. You do always need an adapter lead so bear that in mind before buying this so you know it's easy to find (and that it works!) before you make the commitment of buying the Dazzle.

I would definitely recommend this as it's easy to install and use, and it's really good value for money and for my purposes, the software doesn't need to be advanced. The simple options available are plenty for most users I would have thought. I'm very happy with my purchase, and I hope that it continues to work this brilliantly!

I've used an earlier 'Greetings Factory' programme for several years and found it was more than adequate in solving all my card requirements, whether it be greetings cards, business cards, postcards etc.

With Christmas coming up, decided to treat myself to an update, and am I really pleased that I did! Loads of new stuff and features, with the 'Seasons' clip art as a great bonus. And as always, Amazon's good pricing and free delivery.

If you'd like to have a go at making your own personal cards (recipients love 'em!), then this is the programme to go for. Brilliant!!

The Official DSA Theory Test for Car Drivers and The Official Highway Code 2008/09 Edition  

The Official DSA Theory Test for Car Drivers and The Official Highway Code 2008/09 Edition

By TSO

Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5 Informative, 2008-02-14
The driving school we use told us to get a copy of this book as there is no better on the market. They were correct. Everything a learner could possibly need to know is in here. Don't let its size put you off of tackling it because it's laid out in such an easy to read manner. It includes the Highway Code as well, so there is no need to buy any other books once you have this one. In fact, all we need to buy now is a CD Rom for practising the theory test and we'll be off to a promising start. Wish us luck!

I have installed McAfee Security Suite 2008 on my Windows Vista Home Premium Dell Computer. I am getting Windows Security Allert that Virus Protection is not found on this Computer. When I reported this to McAfee, I was told to take some steps among which was to rename repository. Eventhough I was running as Administrator, I was not able to rename repository receiving "Access Denied". When I reported this to McAfee, I was told to go to Microsoft. When I reported this to Microsoft, I was told that they could not help me in third party software.This being McAfee product, McAfee should help me. But they do not.Each one is shifting responsibility on the other.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009, 3-Desktop, 1 year Subscription (PC)  

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009, 3-Desktop, 1 year Subscription (PC)

By Kaspersky Lab

Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5 Kaspersky Anti-virus 2009 continues to offer top protection, 2008-11-26
I started using Kaspersky from Version 6, after becoming dissatisfied with the way some other security vendors had turned their software into Bloatware. Mcafee is an example of security software, that tries to be the Jack of all trades, but is the master of none, while crippling performance. Kaspersky does what it says on the box and protects against Malware without all the Gimmicks. I was impressed with both Versions 6 and 7, but could Kaspersky Anti-virus 2009 live up to these high standards?

Installation of Kaspersky Anti-virus 2009 went trouble free and quick, I then just had to enter my key code and Customer ID/password, so I could start using the software. The first thing I noticed was Kaspersky appears to be even lighter than Version 7 on System resources, which is a huge plus. Ever since Kaspersky version 6 I have never noticed any slowdowns, so 2009 keeps this trend. On opening the software,the Interface looks more slick, but still familiar to earlier versions which is nice. One feature that is especially good for beginners is the Auto option, so the software will take the appropriate action, if it detects a threat. The proactive defence feature will help detect suspicious behaviours, but may occasionally report legitimate files that are of no threat, but it thinks are suspicious.

Every review and tests I have seen, usually puts Kaspersky at the top when it comes to the detection of Malware. No software detects 100%, but Kaspersky does a great Job considering other well known vendors struggle with detection, especially spyware threats and the rising threat of Fake Anti-spyware, Anti-Virus programs, that only want peoples credit card details.

Kasperky Anti-virus 2009 is highly recommended.
