Summary: Microsoft Picture IT
Review: After buying my new Sony Mavica 1000, this was the first piece of software I used. It comes on 7 disks, but only two are actually installed-the rest have hundreds of sketches and pictures that look like they are drawn by the same person and are useless. When trying to print more than one picture on a page, I first get a message I am running out of memory and then the computer crashes. My computer guy here at work says there is nothing wrong with my memory; it is a problem with the program set up. Why would Microsoft sell a program that will not run properly. I do like what I can do with a photo, but am looking for new photo software until someone can figure out why my computer keeps crashing while using this program. I am unhappy with the software that came from Sony with my camera.

Summary: Don't Sweat the Error Messages
Review: After installing PictureIt, I too received "illegal operation" messages but, instead of throwing the software out (like a previous reviewer mentioned), I emailed the support. They were surprisingly helpful and instructed me how download and easily install an updated video card. That's all it took! Now the programs runs well, and is easy to use.

Summary: BUYER BEWARE
Review: After waiting 80 minutes for the installation of a program I was hoping to find to my liking for the work I do, I encountered nothing but error and illegal operation messages. After full install, it still required me to insert discs for some usage. I uninstalled the program only to find many problems with other programs on the computer. What a waste of time and money!

Summary: Be aware of the disk requirement!
Review: Be aware, this product needs about 900Mb disk space on your "C:" drive (note: "C:" drive) , according to Microsoft support. The box says a minimum of 595Mb disk space is needed for install and 965Mb is recommended. But it's not 'any' hard disk space, most of it must be your C: drive hard disk space. My computer has 200Mb free space on C: drive but 12Gb free space on D: drive, I was unable to install it. Upon calling Microsoft support, they told me to clean my C: drive so it has about 900 Mb free for install. What a strange, undocumented, requirement?Hence, 1 star is given. I wasn't even able to start using it.

Review: During installation this program deleted important system files. I installed on a "clean" system and still ended up having to run scandisk and restore lost files. So, buyer beware!

Summary: Bloatware at its worst!
Review: Eats up 1 gig of hard drive, most of the clipart just endlessly repeats the same tired themes (how may sketches of anonymous 17th century aristocrats can you possibly need?), and there are more video clips and other multi-media frills than any other package I've ever seen (and I've seen several). Excessive and self-indulgent.

Summary: It`s not so BAD
Review: Got this program with my new P.C. AND I HATE IT! BUT I love it too. When it`s good, it`s very, very good. But when it`s bad....IT STINKS. If you remember to KEEP saving your work EVERY few minutes. Then WHEN (not if) it crashes. You can just plod on. AND if you allow yourself a couple of extra hours to finish your project, it will be kool! REMEMBER this program cost aroung [£] in the U.K. That`s not too bad. Stick with it, treat it nice. take your time, stay kool. Everything will work out O.K. in the end. Trust me.....I`m a professional!

Summary: Excellent product!
Review: I almost didn't buy this product because of the reviews that had been written about it. But I did and I was very careful, cleaned up my hard drive and made sure I had the room, (I only had 6 gb of hard drive) and when I installed it I followed Microsoft's recommendations and instructions to the "t". I never run it with other programs open. It runs better that way. But you can do just about anything with this program. I was very impressed, and very glad I bought it!

Summary: Bad Software
Review: I bought this software because it looked like a good one for a reasonable cost. However, this program has problems after installing. I exchanged the software, believing that it had a bad disk after getting error and illegal operation messages. The new program did the same thing. A friend of mine bought the same program also and is having the same problems. We know it isn't our computer because hers is brand new and mine has a new hard drive installed. I do not recommend this product.
