Summary: Total 3d - only if it stays up
Review: evidently the problems with version 6 (and 5 and 4 and 3) aren't resolved in Version 7. I've had this thing 1 day and it's crashed 4 times! Actually "crash" isn't the term, since it just goes away. No error messages, no warnings, just closes out. I haven't been able to relate the problem to any action on my part - I seem to be doing different things each time it bombs. Looking to return it.

Summary: Pretty good program for the money...
Review: I have used Individual Softwares Home Design Products. I have had problems with crashes but, finally found a file that was corrupt that was not going away! Once I finally got it to I haven't had any major problems with them. Im now running Total Home Deluxe 2005' which is their version 8.0! The program is nice for people that want to get a basic idea of what their dream home would look like or a room even landscaping or just a remodel. I really like all the different interior design options. Besides the other 2 reviews which im sorry the program 7.0 didn't work for them. Try 8.0 it has improved.

Summary: Worst Software EVER - Won't Install - Doesn't rate 1 Star
Review: I purchase this software to replace Sierra 3D Home Design, which is a pretty good software but lacks upgrade at their website. Anyway, i purchase Total 3D Home & Landscape at COMPUSA and went home to install it. That is when my nightmare began. I spent over 5 hours trying to install and i would not load, it would instead freeze the PC. I tried every possible way. I then taught maybe my PC wasn't working or the drive and tried to clean it, scan it with an antivirus, but nothing would work. So the next day i tried to return it at COMPUSA but they do not accept returns for software so i had to get an exchange. To play it safe thinking that my drive was at fault i even purchase a new DVD ROM/ CDRW drive. I spent a lot of money just to use the software. I went home and install my drive and tested it. The drive work fine, my PC work fine - by the way my PC is (a dell 8600 with the latest features). Finally i tried installing the Total 3D software and again NOTHING. After 5 hours of trying to install and having my PC freezing and crashing I'VE HAD ENOUGH. I'm so piss. I'm going to return the software back to the manufacture.

Summary: Caveat Emptor strikes again
Review: I'm doing my good deed for the day. Don't buy this. Believe only the 1-star reviews. We'd all rate it lower if possible.
My installation was flawless, but this program constantly crashes for no apparent reason with no error messages given. It also frequently and randomly moves or loses objects you may have positioned or added hours ago so you must constantly tweak positions of walls, cabinets, windows, etc., or add them back to the design after the program somehow loses them. It also has a very awkward and limited control layout which almost never allows you to do what a program like this should be able to do. Run away from this unless you're a software masochist.

Summary: Total 3D Home & Landscape 7.0 Failure
Review: This software would not install. When prompted to insert install disk 3, I do so, and the install program does not recognize the disk as disk 3. I returned the software for an exchange and the new copy did the same thing. I have returned the software for a full refund.

Summary: Corrupt file indication on installation
Review: When attempting to install on my WinXP PC the Autorun file crashes. Installation starts from the Setup file but halts with a Corrupt File indication partway through. Individual SW provided a replacement disks which exibited the same problem. The same software loads OK on other PCs, both Win2000 and WinXP however not on mine. On the other PC I noticed a problem placing landscape fences on uneven terrain is still not fixed. After saving and reopening the landscape, part of the fence is floating above ground and part is buried in the ground. So this is not a worthwhile upgrade from Ver 4 even if it does install.
