Customer Reviews

Fantastic & Enjoyable Software
I have this software running very successfully on Windows Vista Premium, on both a laptop & PC. I love its features & it has never let me down in terms of crashing or simply not working. I'm giving this four stars, so as not to exaggerate, but from my experience of the program I can't think of a reason not to give it five.

Starry Night crashes
I cannot get this program to run on either windows xp or Vista. It always crashes on start up (XP) even thought I have the latest updates installed.

It simply won't install on Vista

I will have to give it 1 star as I have yet to see it work
