North American Birds for Windows

Summary: Needs Updating for XP
Review: Great program if you're still on Win95 or 98 (don't know about ME), but _don't_ try to install under XP. The install program wants to replace system DLLs (mostly related to ODBC) with much older versions. You don't want to do this.

If you do want to play with this and see what XP's Windows File Protection does, be sure to set a System Restore Point before you try the install. (If most of the above is Greek to you, then just _don't_.)

Summary: Excellent, but...
Review: I have had this program for several years and have relied on it a lot for bird identification, unfortuanately, it does not work with Windows 2000 or Windows XP, so it is now useless to me.
When it did work, it was easy to use, and an excellent reference.

Review: MIGHT BE A GREAT CDROM- YOU CAN'T PLAY IT ON WINDOWS XP- SOMETHING THAT THE AD DOES NOT TELL YOU. HOW IRONIC I GOT RID OF MAC SO I COULD PLAY JUST ABOUT ANY CD-ROM AND THIS HAPPENS. OH WELL!!!

Review: This CD rom was given to me as a gift about 6 years ago, when I was a beginner bird watcher. The skills I have acquired are amazing. Sometimes it is easier to identify a bird with this program, than with the field guides I take along on my trips! I Love this product!

Review: This was probably fantastic in it's day. It was written for Windows 95/98 and is entirely incompatible with Windows XP.

Review: Wonderful guide. I have no problems running this on XP - Home EXCEPT at a 1280x1064 resolution the window is small. Of course, this is easy to fix. Machine is a 2.2g P4, ATI 9600 pro,
installed cdrom to USB/Firewire external. XP is OEM installed on machine.
