Has anyone had trouble with this crashing? Are back-ups easy? Any auto-save options? I'd love to use this, but I am terrified of losing information.

I haven't had a problem with crashing and backing up is simple. Also an auto save that refreshes every few minutes, so even if you forget, the program doesn't. It's a great program but does require a learning curve - but hey! doesn't everything? The really nice thing is the ability to have everything - links, thoughts, previous versions, character descriptions, timelines, etc. all in one place that is easily accessible.

I encountered the very same thing. I got it to play back by messing when the buttons. But I don't know the exact way to do it. If I want to see anything, I've been popping out the SD card, then I put in another. Then look at it. I'm using mine for the drive to work (1 hr), if nothing happens I let it over ride on the 5 min loop. This would be so much better if we knew how to use all the features. I looked at the license tag feature, it's a yellow box that moves around on screen? The instructions are so vague. You just have to push buttons and hope for the best..........

@Benjamin Augustine: I was having the 1 second recording problem, too. I followed your instructions to reformat the internal memory, and it did the trick. Thank you so much for sharing that!

Happened to me too. Can't complete the update.. can't roll back to a better previous state. Nightmare pickle of sorts. Returned mine for a Refund.

I tried it and it worked but had a bad crash with a big project and lost all the data, so would I recommend it ? probably not

I have been using it for years, and this release has more issues than any other release I have used. I am on Win 7 Ultimate, 4gb ram, high speed Hard drive, so it loads well, I have learned to work around the issues for now, hoping the bugs will be taken care of. Main issue I have is with split transactions, seems to have an issue with updating them, always goes to the next one down on the register, haven't taken time to talk to quicken, other than that, works well

What I want to know is, after reading these reviews both good and bad, I am wavering about whether I should keep my Striiv. How is the company going to support me if and when the devices freezes, stops working altogether etc. I am a citizen on a fixed income and really bought this device at great sacrifice to myself. I would appreciate an answer ASAp

I bought it a long time ago and it didn't run on mine, either. But I recently saw it on Steam for a ridiculously low price, downloaded it and had no problems whatsoever. And I am still on Windows 7. Maybe it is something else with your system? Their support is pretty good. I think it lists the requirements on the game's page. I am just about to finish the second one...and my computer crashed. I hope I can fix it but if I have to play the second one from the top, I will. Both are great. The second is even better than the first.

Yes. But I wouldn't buy this ever. I sent it back after the first day. It always crashes and is so unbelievably slooowwwww

Reformat your computer's hard drive to reinstall the mapping software? That is totally unacceptable. No software installation, of any type except Windows itself, should *ever* require such drastic action. And any decently-designed update software should not fail to the extent described, even if interrupted for any reason. There are always fallback and recovery strategies for software upgrades where the unit can at least operate minimally even if interrupted at the worst possible time; interrupted at any other time should simply have the update not take effect and leave the unit in the previous state. This is standard for any modern software. I have inherited a 700 and am looking for experiences upgrading to the version 6 maps and software, and this is sounding really crazy. It appears that Magellan's software is an amateur effort, support is handled by the lowest bidder, and Magellan would rather get your cash now than keep you as a long term customer.

K writing and loading saves works, but it is very slow lol. The Xbox freezes for 5-10 seconds while saving or loading. Playing arcade games from it is a no-go, they lag and freeze up a lot. I'm only gonna use it for saves anyway, but if you're looking to store games on it this one is not for you.

I have never had that problem. Have you at least been able to backup your data? If so, try uninstalling the program and re-installing. I cannot think of anything else except contact Intuit customer support.

It will, but you should run it as an administrator, otherwise it will freeze up periodically. As an admin, this only happens once in a while. (Turn computer off when it does, remember anything not saved in the game will be lost). Still worth it, though.

I'm using it with Win 8.1 and no problem making backup files. Have not had to recover.

I haven't had the problem, but it sounds like maybe you did not make a backup dvd of your OS system, Microsoft offers a one time down load in chase your pc crashes. Maybe go to another pc and see if you can do the down load the software with your pc info, it's worth a try with the price of new OS software. Hope every thing works out for you.

tbh, id just spend a little more money and get verbs. the last stack of memorexs that i bought. none of them worked to make a backup. i still have half of that stack of mems still.. but yeah just buy verbs so you dont fail every other disc. Also. mems only seem to work on very old games. new games they will fail burns it seems. i use img burn and burner max payload tool.. but yeah. with mems, it seems like every OnE OF Three packs u buy they will work fine.

Well, I have had mine 2 years now works great!! I hope you did not drop it. Or you should reset the system if it is locked up. But, if you chose to do that you may lose all that you have downloaded.
