A once-good product stumbles badly with this version
590780
I've alternated between using Adobe Premier Elements 1 and Ulead Video Studio Version 7 and Version 9 over the last few years. If I occasionally needed to do something fancy, with a lot of picture-in-picture compositing and /or  key-frame-based effects, I used Premiere -- although its interface was so annoying that for more normal projects I used Ulead, which I found to be a bit lacking in effects quality but overall extremely solid and easy to use.

I downloaded a trial version of Pro X2 and gave it a cursory test. The new effects looked great and overall I was pleased, so I bought it. I am now VERY sorry I didn't give it a more thorough test.

Post-purchase, I used Pro X2 to open one of my older Ulead 9 projects -- a pretty simple one, about 4 minutes long, consisting of about 12 short pre-rendered AVI files, 2-3 transition effects, and one audio track. In Pro X2 I  made a very minor change, only adding a credits slide at the end. Nothing cutting edge.

When previewing the project, everything looked great. Then I rendered it as an AVI file.

I first became suspicious, however, that it took around 30 minutes to render (on a new, dual Pentium laptop with 2 gb of RAM, running XP3), whereas the original project had taken only around 15 minutes on an older machine running Ulead 9.

Then I saw that the resultant AVI file from Pro 2X was around 300 mb, vs 100 mb for the Ulead 9 project -- very strange since the two clips, burned to identical formats, differed from each other in length by only about 5 seconds.

But the really bad news came when I watched the resultant AVI file. The timing was WAY out of sync -- up to 7-8 seconds in some places. This completely ruined the project, which had been a tightly-timed music video. I tried re-rendering 4 times -- twice more to AVI, and twice to MPEG3 -- with same result.

All the great features in the world are irrelevant of you have no control over your final video.

I consulted the help file, which said nothing about this problem. I did notice that under the Troubleshooting section they did offer the generic advice that if Pro X2 isn't working properly, it might need repair, available by clicking Add/ Remove programs in Windows Control Panel, and then selecting the option to repair. Problem was, there was no option to repair -- only the option to remove the program or not. Why on earth give such fictitious advice? What were they thinking?

I refuse to pay Corel the required fee for tech support -- charging for help with something so flawed is a scam in my opinion. I will be seeking a refund.

By the way, just to be sure the problem wasn't with my new machine, I arranged the clips, music and title slide in the 5 year old Adobe Premier 1 which I installed on the new machine. It rendered perfectly.

I bought this remote based on the  great experience i had with the previous OneForAll remote I bought from Amazon several years ago.  Based solely on that experience I bought this remote as the old one finally became a bit sketchy and unreliable.

This one disappoints.

The Good:

Backlight

Easy to work the learning function.

The Bad:

Small, cramped, poorly positioned buttons.

Glossy, cheap-looking finish.

CH and VOL buttons all style, no function.

I'll hang with it a while to see if I warm to it, but I also caoxed the old one back to life, just in case.

This program works to edit RAW images, and is reasonably flexible and user-friendly. Yes it crashes every now and then, but for the cost I can handle that.  Why am I only giving it 2 stars?  Because I downloaded a trial of an updated version.  Whoops!  The trail ran out, and now the original version (that I paid for) won't run either!  Uninstalling everything, and re-installing ended in multiple errors, no success.  Frustration!  Now I'm stuck with no option to edit my RAW images!!!

I'm a long time user of the Harmony 890 remote. However I'm so disappointed with this model that I'm just thinking of trashing this one and re-buying the 890.

I bought this model because my 890 failed. This one is cheaper, and the features seemed good on paper.

However, it has three defects (compared with the 890) that make it borderline unusable for me (although it has one major improvement over the 890).

Defects:
--------

(1) It is very slow. If you use it with a DVR, for example, this can be a major problem (e.g. with gearing up the fast forward/reverse).

(2) The Infrared transmitter has a very narrow focus, which means you have to point it very accurately at the IR receiver.

(3) The touch screen seemed like a cool idea. But (particularly in combination with the previous problem (2)) it's not. The reason is that it's a one-tap operation. So you have to (very accurately) point the device at the IR receiver, and then tap the touch screen. This is error prone. In the case of the 890 you can get your finger securely on the button you want, point and then press. Much more reliable operation.

Improvement:
------------

The recharge cradle is much better than the 890. It works easily. The 890 cradle was a pain in the a**; it could take a really long time to get the connections.

Some general considerations:
----------------------------

The concept of these is pretty good. I have a fairly complex set up, and the Harmony can control this.

The 890 I had worked for (I'm guessing) about three years and then just failed. These things might want to work a little longer.

Solid, simple and comprehensible backup programs should be highly polished and reliable utilites by now -- easily outclassing the clunky Windows software. Surprisingly, not so at all; Retrospect, the tortuous and expensive but highly reliable dean of the class was tops for performance. Lately though the product has fallen behind, with the latest version not all that much enhanced. So finding NovaBackup ver 10 now toprated in class (having tossed ver. 7 years ago) I purchased the boxed version.

The well-designed interface is clean, streamlined and covers all the backup tasks, with direct disk imaging for disaster recovery now included. Installation itself was a breeze ... until you realize they ship the 15-day trial version after which all your backups become useless. Getting the serial number registered alone was an all-evening aggravation, that could have been avoided were only proper printed (or readme) guidance provided.

The rambling instruction manual, as well as the Help tips seem to have been dashed together by a committee of geeks. Numerous unpardonable omissions of getting-started questions such as proper use of the 'New Job' and 'Save Job' buttons, and a bewildering jumble of terms like key code, serial number, etc. are left for the user to figure out. Maddening too for lack of clarification is the difference between 'Job Name', 'Media' or 'Backup Job Name'; these terms sometimes are exclusive, other times interchangeable, and many times are called something else altogether in the user dialog boxes.

This is a very promising backup utility, but it's got a ways to go yet to marry up advanced software engineering with basic operational needs. Until a comprehensible manual and help (preferably contextual) become available, this is recommended only for the tenacious PC user.

I have a love/hate relationship with this device. I used to love it, but after upgrading to the newest Android OS Version, it's stability and bad performance now drive me nuts. This review is not about the device's technical details, rather the performance of it.

I've purachsed this model when it originally came out, and it was awesome for two years... until I accidentally dropped a book on it and cracked the screen. So, being happy with the tablet to that point, I purchased another 2012 model (mid 2014). It ran flawlessly until February 2015 when I finally allowed my device to 'update and upgrade' to the new Android version, Lollipop. Since that point it has basically been a paperweight. After multiple phone calls to google support in Feb, they've acknowledged that this is a known software problem and their engineers were working on a solution.

Fast forward to April of 2015, they released 5.1 which was supposed to remedy the constant crashing, lockups, and maddeningly slow performance. The new update did help a little, but to this day my tablet still crashes, freezes, and is never as fast as it originally was. I'm sorry to say, I actually look forward to when this thing dies so I can justify purchasing a new tablet. Actually, I now handle this device with less concern for damage trying to help that along.  (i.e.*whoops* I missed placing it on the nightstand, and it dropped to the floor. Lucky for the tablet, the floor is carpeted.)

So my advice to you is that the if you're planning on purchasing this version, DO NOT UPGRADE TO LOLLIPOP. Leave it at the factory installed KitKat and it will be great. I will still rate the device at at two stars though because of past performance.

I have been using Easy CD Creator since Version 5. Version 5 was very good, except that I found it did not save transitions between tracks very well.

When Version 6 came out, I bought in the hopes that the transitions would be better handled, which they did quite well. However, the interface was terrible. Instead of being able to directly add tracks to your project from the PC filesystem, you first had to add them into Roxio's library first and then add it to your project. I also discovered that the volume enhancer had been monkied with. Instead of simply amplifying the volume, Roxio decided to enhance the treble and deepen the bass. This dramatically changed the tone color of the treble. The result was distorted sound. The also decided to limit the amount of time for transitions to 30 seconds. In version 5, there were no limits except the length of the previous track. So, I became very frustrated with version 6 as it lacked the flexibility of version 5, though it did save the transitionings much better.

Version 7's CD burning features are even worse than version 6. In version 7, Roxio has taken away the volume control entirely, and further limited track transactions down to a maximum of 20 seconds. Also, you can only use whole second values. In version 6 and version 5, you were able to subdivide in the very small units of a second, which was excellent in honing down to the exact time you wanted to do the transition. Version 7's file system interface is an improvement over version 6's. However, my overall impression of version 7 is that Roxio has simplified their CD mixing product into a very basic CD burning program and has done all it can to make it an inflexible program. IIn version 5 and version 6, you could edit the sound and delete a part of the track; in version 7, they've taken that feature out and you can no longer alter the track. I'm not sure why Roxio is insisting on taking a great product and reducing its usability, but that's what they're doing.

If you are into burning CDs and desire to modify the volumes to the way you want them, extend transitions to perhaps the entire previous track, and perhaps delete portions of the track for some reason, then you are totally out of luck with Version 7 of Easy CD Creator.

I really cannot recommend this product. As for myself, I'm going to deinstall version 7, and then reinstall version 5 and live with its flaky transitions. Version 5's ability to increase/decrease volume and it's fine-tuning of track transitions are far superior to what's available in version 6 or version 7 of this product.

Version 7 CD burning is a major disappointment.

On 6/1/14, I purchased the 1 year subscription for this product as an upgrade from Office 2010. This was a big mistake.  The look and feel is not well done and its hard to find functions that were previously easy to find.  I am running Windows 7 Ultimate.  After installing Office 365 I have had several recurring problems: a)  application crashes (e.g., MS Word) where your file will lose eveything past the last save; b) damage to the file, c)  extremely slow startups (I have had to wait 60-90 seconds for an office application to load;  and d) it keeps losing default program settings to open obvious file types, e.g, for word and excel. I finally decided to de-install office 365 and then what was left of Office 2010 was damaged and had to be removed and then re-installed.  Office 2010 works great, is very quick and has no crashes.  I called Microsoft today (7/22/14) for a refund and with some difficulty finally spoke with a Microsoft representative who didn't speak English very well and informed me there are no refunds after 30 days of purchase. So I just wasted $69.99 for nothing.

The good:
* One of the few products that lets you track your transactions without simply relying on cloud services.
* More control of reporting and categorizing of transactions than you have with services like PageOnce (which ironically enough, I use to double check what Quicken is/isn't doing correctly)

The bad:
* Not much shows up in terms of new functionality. Seems like the forced upgrades only allow you to download statements since support falls off every few years for earlier versions of Quicken (which very often fails -- see the ugly below)
* I upgraded because my Quicken 2009 would crash when downloading transactions. Just as bad with new version, despite deleting and readding the online services.

The ugly:
* Automatic download is less reliable with each progressive version. You can use the automatic update for everything in your PIN vault and it says is was successful, but transactions aren't downloaded. Going to the individual account and updating transactions results in a different download (within the SAME program, different results depending on which screen you did it from?!? not good)
* If you have the application open and the date changes, the application actually needs to restart itself. This annoyance never existed in previous versions of Quicken. Come to think of it, I can't think of another single software package on the planet that requires this. Major fail.

I would drop this product in a heartbeat if I could find a replacement that isn't strictly cloud-based. And if you're a Mac owner, good luck with a full-featured version for your OS (this even surprised the head of Intuit who wasn't even aware of this).

I doubt I'd ever go back to using a paper-based register, but Intuit has clearly lost its focus with this product and is not delivering well for their customers. A shame, as they used to be the gold standard for usability and quality control in their products.

If you're a software developer or investor I think here's a ripe opportunity to displace the 800 pound gorilla, as it's gotten weaker over time and isn't playing A-game in the incremental releases of their products.

I purchased an earlier version of this router (it is currently v. 3.1) and had many years of perfectly reliable good use, until a lightning strike blew out several ports. I ordered another one, confident it was a good product. Big mistake. Just from looking at it you can tell it has been downgraded  - 1 activity light per port where there used to be 3. It is unable to maintain a consistent connection with my Time-Warner cable modem. I've had the cable modem swapped out twice and tried three different routers, and all had the same problem; random disconnects and reconnects varying from at least one a day to several an hour. In desperation I hooked up the old one, and it's running fine on its remaining ports.

If you do purchase this router and have trouble with it, make sure you get it taken care of while its still on Amazon's 30 day guarantee. Linksys customer support is a nightmare.

I owned the predecessor to this product in the late 90s and it worked okay. I was hoping version 11.5 would be much better. in reality it just contains a whole new set of headaches. this product is almost unusable in a normal office. If you get a phone call you can tell the microphone to go to sleep. In sleep mode it stops typing but still listens to everything you are sayingand tries to turn all of that into a command. There is no way to shut off  command mode.  Even if you take the microphone off and set it on the desk It will pickup background noise andmove the cursor around from one location on the page to another, open and close apps and documents and once it shut down the system while I was on the phone. I believe this product is way overpriced for what you get. note: I have left a few of the typos in this document just because I'm so tired of going back to put spaces between words and correct capitalization that it seldom gets right.

While this keyboard has some very good features, namely the build quality and design of certain elements such as the detachable USB cord, on the whole, it is a monumental disappointment.

I purchased this last night and have so far spent about an hour trying to get the unit recognised by Windows 8. Unlike any other USB or PS/2 keyboard I've used in the last 15 years, it was not functional straight out of the box. When I say functional, I mean, "Windows did not recognise it as a keyboard and thus, would not accept ANY keystroke input from the device". Really, Thermaltake? IT'S A DAMNED USB KEYBOARD WITH EXTRA BITS!

Nor did the device driver from the CD that came with it fix the problem. I needed to download the latest device drivers from Thermaltake's website and install them, rebooting TWICE before my keyboard was recognised. Seriously guys, 1998 called, even they think that's pathetic.

To make matters worse, the latest driver available on the Tt website (from October 2012) needed to be installed twice to obtain only limited functionality. I had to manually browse into the install directory and open the config utility from there. Oh yeah, the config utility that, when hovered over, shows:

File Description: TODO <file description>
Company: TODO <company name>

As well as launching a sub-process called "TODO - Application". If this were a beta driver, I could forgive this. BUT, the fact that this is the ONLY driver that seems to provide functionality with Windows 8 and has been up on your website for FOUR MONTHS with those "TODO" items shows clearly how little you care about providing a decent product. Seriously? You had to TODO list inputting your own company name?

Once I was finally able to get into the config page, the key assignment options are greyed out and inaccessible and I've only just now been able to get the light function to work (with a delay of about 5 seconds from profile update to visible change on the keyboard).

I'm sorry guys, but if this is the best software you can do, then pack up your bat and ball and go home. The fact that you felt it necessary to re-write an entire driver when there's already a perfectly good HID-compliant driver to provide basic keyboard functionality says more about your inability to work within a structured driver framework than anything else. Also, what the hell has your software done to my device list? I now have 22 different entries under Human Interface Devices, not to mention other random ones including one called HOLTEK USB PHONE. Because the last thing a gaming system needs is more random, useless crap to slow it down.

As to the actual keyboard itself, the key spacing on the WASD keys and surrounds feel cramped and ungainly. Given that this keyboard is TARGETED at gamers, for whom that particular part of the keyboard is sacrosanct, is simply unforgivable. As for the bastardisation that you've accomplished with repositioning the backslash key from adjacent the right bracket key and in the process, truncating the right SHIFT key tells me that you have little understanding of how people type.

Additionally, the fact that I can't assign in-game key assignments to your macro keys is another problem that shows a weakness in driver functionality.

All in all, this could have been a good product, but was let down in so many ways. I guess I now know never to buy anything from the Thermaltake eSports range again, but instead, stick to companies who actually seem to be able to deliver quality peripherals.

This is going back for a refund first thing tomorrow morning.

This was a product I was wanting to like, really.  My first non-PC-based mp3 player was something I really looked forward to.  Unfortunately, despite some truly attractive and useful features and generally good performance, I have now shelved the unit for good and will likely return it to Amazon.
First, the Good:
* The SmarTrax navigation system worked tolerably well, a must when playing disks with 200 or more tracks on them.  Enough of the track info was displayed to know what I was playing and moving through the list was easy, though sometimes a bit slow.
* Playback was of generally good sonic quality, though it became a little ragged at upper volumes on particularly "hot" tracks.
* The bass boost mode was very helpful when using earphones that are lacking at the lower end of the audible spectrum.
The Bad:
* Setup menu navigation is at times frustrating as the software constantly insists on taking you back to the play screen, forcing you to invoke the menu system over and over to complete your setup.
* The track list doesn't show track titles for CDs, only mp3s.  I'm sure such data are available, but the RCA just calls them track 1,2,3...
* The unit turns itself off after only a couple of minutes paused.  I don't know if this is a technical requirement to avoid damaging the disc, but I do know getting to track #127 again is a hassle after you pause it to go get a Coke down the hall.  RCA might tweak the next generation to allow the unit to remain powered and in stand-by if it's on the AC adapter (as mine was).
The ugly:
* The headphones.  Ugh.  Non-adjustable, flimsy, poor phone-to-ear connection (indeed if you can even get a connection...I was only able to get the earpads to my ears when I put the 'phones on from the back of my head).  If you simply have to have this player, do yourself a favor and get a decent set of 'buds or 'phones.
* Here's the thing that disqualifies this unit, IMHO: it skips.  Yes, I know it has a 3/6/13 minute anti-skip, but I'm not talking about physical shock-related skipping, but software glitch skipping.  I used this player at my desk at work and it never experienced a shock greater than a dropped pen or telephone handset hang-up. Yet every few minutes a 0.5 second dropout or omission occurred in the music. At times there was a short silence, but most of the time it was as if an entire quarter note was missing from the song.  The drop-outs happened on both CD and mp3-encoded discs, home-burned and factory-burned media alike.  CD players have been around for 20 years or more...I don't think anyone need tolerate this sort of defect anymore in a player.
Normally, I would have said that for the relatively low price I could live with the quirky menus, irritating automatic shut-off and mystery track names on CDs...I was even willing to pop for a set of good earbuds.  But when I found my teeth grinding at yet another sonic hiccup in the middle of Warren Zevon's artful piano riffs in "Frank and Jesse James," I knew this player's days were numbered.

Over a decade I've owned some six of these portable DVD gizmos, for home use only and daily screenings of mint-condition DVDs and CDs. Planned obsolescence seems to be engineered in; all brands--save Sony--quite predictably fail on schedule in the seventeenth month of the standard eighteen-month warranty period. Panasonic is marginally acceptable but will ultimately break down. Sylvania players were marginally acceptable but current production models balk at playing brand-new DVDs. RCA players are a regrettable joke, shoddily manufactured and barely functional.

Some thought has gone into the engineering of Sony players, although the AC power cord is ridiculously short and may necessitate some furniture jockeying in your viewing area as it did in mine. Sony is committed to delivering, with its big crisp pixels, exactly what is inscribed on the disc, and that means Original Aspect Ratio. If you insist on "full frame" presentation (a tragic marketing misnomer if ever there was one), look elsewhere. Sony delivers--if the DVD distributors have been doing their element restoration and print sourcing correctly--precisely what the director and cinematographer intended for us to experience, nothing more nothing less.

The sound quality is adequate and much improved by using headphones (not supplied by Sony), the picture quality superb: bright, sharp, excellent resolution. The touchpad controls are sleek and very responsive if not ideally viewer-friendly. The unit is sturdily constructed (cf. RCA) and fits comfortably in the viewer's lap, short power cord notwithstanding.

The Sony is very fairly priced and represents good value in an offshore manufacture. It is clearly superior to its would-be competitors and will outlast them. If you appreciate Original Aspect Ratio and crisp visual imagery, the Sony player is the most reliable way to get visual authenticity out of your DVD library. Inexplicably a major big-box retailer based in Chicago which used to feature this brand can no longer do so, and I worry that the portable DVD player may become obsolete hardware (along with our cherished DVD software). Fortunately, Amazon and its third-party vendors continue to market the ideal Sony player fairly widely, and we must hope Sony sees fit to keep it in production since it fulfills a real need admirably and affordably.

This worked pretty good when it was new, but after about a year of use I can say I'm pretty unhappy with this.

First off, let's talk hardware. The scanner worked great out of the box, but even after repeated cleanings, it just stopped working well. About half the time with a stack of papers it will fail to separate individual sheets, or it will pull them in extremely crooked to the point where the sides get folded and obscured from the scanner. It seems that different weights of paper aren't handled uniformly. Receipts don't always trigger the sensor to allow you to scan so sometimes you have to wiggle it around or shove it in to get things moving. So, the idea is that you're going to go straight from your mail or wallet into the machine is just a fantasy. Expect a lot of babysitting. Combine this with the software and you might even have to scan the same document multiple times.

Moving on to that software, be aware that Neat no longer supports it at all. They only support a "cloud" version where everything is hosted on their side (who knows what their security looks like, still feel comfortable scanning bank statements?) and you have to pay monthly or else you lose access to it all. The unsupported desktop version lets you store your scans locally but you will still get nagged for a required login and password to connect to their servers so it can phone home and do... something. Not sure what that something is and there is no option to turn this "login" off. Speaking of which, the software is woefully outdated for 2016. The detection of documents versus receipts simply does not work except with narrow receipts, so turn off detection and micromanage everything. OCR works fairly well but it's single threaded and it just takes forever. Now, if it detected your document as a receipt, you have to push it back into the OCR queue and wait some more. You can scan during this process, but if the software crashes you're left wondering what got in and what didn't. I've had a few situations where it would crash then continue to crash on every start until I deleted the entire queue. Because of the lag between scanning it and getting it fed into the system, you have to keep an intermediate stack "scanned but not processed" in order to not miss something.

Scan quality is ok but the software leaves a lot to be desired. It's very slow reordering pages and rotating images and is lacking on non-90 degree rotation and quality settings like DPI, color balance, and de-moire. Navigating to get a full-screen view is not intuitive.

Unfortunately, because of the monthly subscriptions and push for cloud, it's unlikely this product and it's ecosystem will get any attention from Neat because it won't generate income beyond the purchase of the expensive hardware. At least they provide an export function but I'm not sure I want to take a chance on a different company's document management system since it seems everything out there has pretty significant flaws.

This product may have some good features but Video Wave is definitely not one of them. This video editing and DVD production software, which is of prime importance to me, is so badly messed up over the previous Version 7.5 that I feel I just threw away $100.00. It literally crashes at every turn. This in itself is enough to toss it but it gets worse. The music tone/equalizer editing feature is gone. You can not drag or copy/paste from the photo/video file pane into the production - you must "open" the desired photo/video file(s) and then you are given several options where to place them - not included in these options is the choice to place them at the end of the items already in the "storyline" or "timeline" which is the most likely place one would want to place them - unbelievable. Gone also in Version 8 is the option to adjust the frame duration in the "pan & zoom editor". This is a serious flaw as it is impossible to corridinate the time duration(s) with the pan & zoom effects. It requires guessing at the amount of desired time the effects will take or moving back and forth between the pan & zoom editor and the photo editor to constantly make the duration adjustment - frustrating in the extreme. The "pan & zoom" editor itself is much more awkward and less precise than in Version 7.5. No longer is there a choice of text scrolling speed - why??  I also see undesirable changes in some of the "capturing" & "burning" features. Example: "Media Import" was crashing when attempting to import audio from a CD (as per manual instruction) - Tech Support directed me not to use "Media Import" but instead to use "Music Disc Creator". The latter worked but the capability is also supposed to work in "Media Import" and sometimes it did and sometimes it crashed. I could continue but I've ranted on long enough. I have now uninstalled this disappointing messed up software in favour of my old Version 7.5. DON'T waste your money on Roxio 8 - at least not until they fix it and replace some of the features they took away. And just so you know I'm not trying to run it in a crappy system - 3.2 ghz P4, XP Pro, 1 gb ram, 3 Maxtors totalling 700 gb, Asus & ATI.

I haven't yet seen any new features or benefits to this version over Quicken 2013.  I can't see a single thing to recommend this version over previous versions.  On the other hand, this "upgrade" comes with the slew of bugs, new and old, and performance problems I've come to expect after the last few new releases of Quicken.

*  I "upgraded" because I got a new top-of-the-line ThinkPad laptop. It has a Quad Core Hyperthreaded processor with Turboboost up to 3.8 GHz, 24 GB of RAM, and an SSD.  It didn't seem to make sense to install an older version of Quicken when a new one was available.  In retrospect, that would have been the smarter move.  Everything else is quite speedy on the computer, but this version of Quicken brings the machine to its knees.  Quicken 2013 wasn't exactly snappy and lightweight, but 2014 is even worse.  There's substantial delay in doing simple things like accepting downloaded transactions and it struggles to re-draw the screen when resizing the Quicken window.

*  As usual, the Quicken print-to-PDF function is broken.  I can't understand how Intuit seems to break this years-old feature again with every new release.  I think it took months to get it working again after the 2013 version came out.  Fortunately, I've learned I can't count on this so I have an alternate print-to-PDF print driver to use.

* One Step Update is plagued by problems.  I'd say it is failing to complete properly well over half of the time.  This was working smoothly in the 2013 version.  I've already spent well over an hour in total just trying to fix various problems with updates not completing, bill payments not being properly sent and so on.  As I type this, One Step Update progress window is open on my screen and hasn't changed for about 10 minutes.  At this point, I'll have to kill the Quicken process through Task Manager and hope that it hasn't screwed anything up by failing to complete the update process.

* One annoying new "feature": When accepting most new downloaded transactions into two account registers, Quicken thinks they may be duplicates  of a transaction that's not even close to the same and pops up a dialog box, making me confirm that its not the same transaction.  This is disconcerting and more than doubles the time and effort it takes to accept downloaded transactions. I've turned off Duplicate Check Number checking in preferences (the only setting whose description seems close to controlling this), but it has not made any difference.

* One annoying old "feature".  Quicken consistently fails to match downloaded transactions that are already in the register.  For example, paycheck deposits that are unique amounts always have to be matched manually.  There's nothing even close to the same transaction, so I don't understand why the match doesn't happen automatically.
