Do not buy this for Vista 64bit (maybe not for any system!)

I could not give this a zero but that's what it deserves.

First of all they make all kinds of claims of what this software can do but if you try it you will find it does not work.

Secondly it can downright destroy your hard drives. The experts on their own support forum warn again and again that "It may not work, so back up your drive first!" Now, of course it's a good idea to back up your drive with any partition software, but with THIS one in particular, you need to because it has major bugs and flaws!

Just go their support forum and read about all the problems and potential disasters. For one thing, many are saying this does NOT work with Vista even though it says it does. It almost certainly does not work with Vista64bit even though their site implies that it does.

Here in these reviews AND in their own support forum you can read about how it did not work.

Another thing, even aside from the Vista issue (say, with XP...) the experts on their own forum say NOT to use the Automatic Mode wizards which are SUPPOSED to make it easy and fool proof to partition your drives.

I myself made this mistake with my XP computer. I followed their "helpful easy Wizard" and tried to take space from two partitions and put that space in another partition on the same USB drive. It did not work and then when I went back to Windows my drives had disappeared. In order to get them back I had to rename them and restart the computer. Luckily I did get them back, but the partitioning did not work and all it did was nearly give me a heart attack and cause me an hour of wasted effort (not to mention all the time I spent reading the manual first).

By the way, don't use their True Image disc imaging back up software either. I tried that too and it did not work on XP. I'm SURE it won't work on Vista64 if it doesn't even work on XP.

Basically this is THE worse software I have ever bought. What makes it worse is that they actually have (had) such a good reputation and I thought I could trust them. Glad as heck that I found out how bad they were before I attempted to back up my brand new 750gig hard drive and partition it with their buggy useless lousy software.

Heck, I wish I could give them a MINUS 5 review!

This windows version is about as worthless as ME was.  It came installed on my new computer and from day one was a problem.  It isn't compatible with a large majority of hardware or software.  It uses an enormous amount of system resources.  I'm not a computer tech, but normally I can make a computer do what ever it is I'm wanting it to do, but with Vista I have run into nothing but problems and if you contact a computer tech with a problem and you tell them your operating system is Vista they automatically say variations of "that's the problem" and half the time they can't offer anything helpful because of the way Vista is set up to run.  Do Not purchase!! If it comes installed on a computer you are purchasing invest in either a copy of Windows XP or an upgrade to Windows 7 at the time that you purchase the computer and save yourself a lot of frustration.

I have 64 bit Vista. Looked on the Amazon and Avanquest website, neither stated that the product does not support 64 bit.

After it did not load, I called Avanquest and they told me it does not support 64 bit and they did not know when it will or if it ever will.

This product may work very well for OS other than VISTA, but it sure doesn't work on VISTA.  To their credit, they issued a complete refund, including shipping.

Don't expect to use your old peripherals with Vista.  It's very pretty but what a gimmick!  Scanners, printers, camcorders, digital camera... worthless with Vista.  Only a few peripherals and software are compatible with special tweeking and thanks to the internet and a few hours of scouring the web.  Press the start button and Vista asks you to buy this program and that service.  It'll nickle and dime you into the poor house.  There's more to Vista than the purchase price.

After spending well over two hundred and fifty dollars on this 7 months ago, Visioneer STILL does not have certified vista drivers out there for it.  A call to customer service (not an 800 number), yielded no help at all.  This company does not care about its customers at all, and offered no workable solutions.  Vista was a shipping operating system when I bought this scanner, and they will not support it.  AVOID VISIONEER PRODUCTS AT ALL COSTS!!!!!

Will not run under win 7, even thought the answers to questions said it would.

This cam worked fine with XP, but now that I've upgraded to Vista, no more!  I looked on the creative website and they have no plans of releasing Vista drivers for this device.  Beware, Creative performs extremely poorly in supporting their products.

I just purchased and received the Fluke VR1710 based on Fluke's reputation for building quality test and measurement products. I own over half a dozen Fluke products and have generally been very satisfied, which is why I frequently return to purchase more Fluke products. However, the VR1710 scores poorly, due to the incompatibility of the accompanying PowerLog software with modern 64-bit PCs running Vista or Windows 7. Although the data sheet doesn't give details, the Fluke manual specifically states that the VR1710 has been verified to run on Windows Vista (which is what I'm using) -- however, as of the time of writing, no where does it document that it is not compatible with 64-bit operating systems. Since the PowerLog software is required to run, program, configure, and download data from the device, the VR1710 is completely unusable without the the PowerLog software functioning. After struggling for a few hours to make the software work, I concluded that the driver itself was the culprit and ultimately called Fluke support for suggestions. After holding for an extended period, I finally reached a customer service engineer in the power quality group. He confirmed that the VR1710 USB driver will not run on a 64-bit OS and was unable to provide any guidance on when Fluke would release a 64-bit driver for Vista or Windows 7. As a result, I am unable to use this product unless I purchase a different PC. And even then, all new PCs come with Windows 7 -- and this is not yet certified either, even for the 32-bit OS. I'm sure that the VR1710 unit itself works fine -- and does what the data sheet states. However, without the ability to run the PowerLog software to control the device, this is an $800 mistake. In an age where PC operating systems are moving quickly to 64-bit (even in laptops), it is inexcusable that this product does not operate with a modern PC or operating system. At the very least, Fluke should make it clear on the sales brochure, as well as the manual, that 64-bit operating systems are not yet supported. I was further frustrated that Fluke support could not give me any guidance as to when such support would become available. Rather, I was advised to return the product to the distributor for a refund -- which leaves me with no solution. Fluke needs to fix this quickly, including updating the documentation, or risk alienating loyal customers who have relied on Fluke products for their livelihoods. If and when Fluke updates their driver and I am able to confirm its reliability on a 64-bit OS, I will gladly revise my ranking. Until then, I can't use the product.

Make sure you upgrade your computer to the latest Win XP or Vista operating system. Really? This is 2017!
I could not get this to work in any way, shape, or form following the goofy directions.

Incompatible with Windows 7, 64 bit.  Same computer on which my old version (10 yrs old, also "Hasbro")  worked fine.  I wasted $70.  Sift through the comments and you'll see I'm not alone.  If you're going to experiment, buy one of the $10 versions.  I bet it's the same thing.

It worked fine -- once.  The next time I tried to use it, the computer sometimes claimed the driver was not installed, and at other times would not recognize that a SIM card was inserted (although it would still read other kinds of cards).

I have a 64 bit Windows 7 operating system. I've seen comments elsewhere claiming that this piece of garbage doesn't work with 64 bit systems, which may be the problem here.

Anyway, avoid this piece of junk. Shame on Polaroid (which doesn't manufacture it) for slapping their formerly good name on it.

I will need to take this CD-ROM to school or the library to use it. The package clearly states it will run on Windows Vista, but only 32 bit versions in reality. A huge let-down and some false advertising if you ask me.

I purchased this to run older Windows OS's on a new PC.  It has taken a month and a half to finally find out from Avanquest that the reason this does not work is because it does not run on a 64 bit system. It is a shame because it is supposed to be a great piece of software - hopefully they will come out with a 64 Bit system soon.

I just bought a new computer and needed to add USB ports to it. I thought I had a great solution but discovered that this card is NOT compatible with Windows Vista. There are no drivers on the enclosed CD for it and the company's website (Belkin) doesn't acknowledge that it is one of their products. Also, in the spirit of "plug and play", I installed it anyway but my computer wouldn't even boot up with it installed. I don't blame anyone; I just wish there was more information on the website before I purchase.

Purchased product through Amazon without problem. Tried loading Print Shop 23 on my HP Vista 64 bit system with 6 GB RAM and 500 GB Hard Drive. Couldn't do it as I kept getting error messages. Tried calling Encore per instruction booklet. Electronic message for Print Shop 23 said to go on line for tech support. Encore's web site indicates that most of their products are not approved for 64 bit Windows XP or Vista systems unless it specifies 64 bit on the box. Print Shop 23 just indicates Windows XP and Vista with no bit amount specified. Seems it would save everyone trouble if they specified bit amount on the outside of the box or in their specs. Very unprofessional in my opinion.
