I still don't see a fix in the list of issues fixed that corrects the survival of a window's size setting after a quit and re-launch. i.e., if one sets the window's size to be larger that the document (which I prefer for working with docs) upon relaunch and re-open the window boundaries revert to a default, which is the document's boundaries. This is still working in 4.1.2 and NOT after that. Let me know if this has been fixed. Otherwise I'm not even going to bother testing this one... |

First of all: all of these people seeing nothing happening for a while when launching the update: Be patient - it will install, it needs to unpack the installation bits which take some time. Just hold on and do not cancel the process. I worked for me... I have a Mac Pro Quad Core 2.7 Ghz Mac. I had Windows XP (SP2) running with the original Bootcamp 2.0 drivers that came with the Mac on the install disks just fine. I installed Bootcamp 2.1 from a stand-alone download under XP (SP2). When I restarted I was greeted by a horrible 640x480 4-bit color screen telling me my drivers are out of date and were made for a previous version of Windows (?!?!) (the default VGA driver was loaded) I am unable to get my display set up properly all settings are greyed out. I have a dual monitor setup with an ATI x1900 PCIe card and a ATI Radeon HD 2600 PCIe card. Neither of them work now. I had to restore my system via System Restore to a state 2 weeks earlier to get my Windows XP back. |

Seems pretty stable with all applications so far. They even fixed a sound notification issue with Entourage. |

1st off: why isn't this update in the automatic update built into Office 2008? I just checked for updates this morning. 2nd. There is an annoying thing (amongst many) in Word and Excel: Application Preferences are not available unless I have a document open? - ridiculous. I would like an option to NOT have a blank document open every time I start up Word or Excel. Why isn't this in the preferences? Very annoying. Another annoying thing, connected to the comment above about a blank document opening when I start up Excel: if I switch to another app while I wait for the looooong startup of Excel it will pop the window of it's blank document in front of whatever I'm using (another application) - two VERY annoying things. Computers and software were supposed to do what I ask them to do not have a mind of their own and force the user to accept whatever it is programmed to do. |

Because Adobe is in bed with storage device makers ! They make applications now close to 1GB big, I mean that's insane! Just so you eat up hard drive space and soon you will run out of space and go out and buy a bigger hard drive to store useless application data such as 12 other language packs that come with the app that you will NEVER use. |

I've been using this great little app for a number of years now and find it indispensable for cataloging my backup disks. Used to be CDs and now DVDs. Also catalog my off-line hard drives with it that I use for backup such as Firewire drives. Very stable program as well. Highly recommended. -- Note to PHALARON (another reviewer below) It takes a only few second to launch this app to scan disks. You let me know if you come across a computer that I don't have to start up to do my computing please. |

What does it take?... This latest beta version still doesn't remember window position on re-opening documents. Try it: open doc, resize window to a larger window than doc boundaries, save, quit. Open again, the doc window will default back to just the doc boundaries. Bummer! Version 4.1.2 does. Come on you dev guys why is this so hard to fix?! |

Numbers don't appear on the tape as I type and perform calculations. Seems to work in Tiger (10.4.11) but NOT on Leopard (10.5.1). I'm running a Mac Pro Quad Core 3 Ghz with 7 GB of RAM and Leopard (10.5.1) Also, the developer support form on the website doesn't work when submitting a support email with Firefox (so what do we expect from this developer then as far as a software?...): Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, jbjovelet@wanadoo.fr and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Apache/2.0.54 (Fedora) Server at www.rubensoft.com Port 80 |

Installed without a hickup. All apps work fine. I don't know what these other guys are doing who complain about having all these problems... |

Great product, but the Beta doesn't remember window positions for me as the regular 4.1.2 version does. I talked to the support guys about this but I guess they haven't fixed it in this release. Also when I opened some files it gave me a bunch of "font errors" - but, I'm using FontAgent Pro and autoactivation - this, again works well in the regular 4.1.2 (non-beta) version of OmniGraffle Pro. |

Copying any text in WORD locks up computer for several seconds, the larger the text volume the longer the wait. Computer locks up with fans starting up loud to cool processor (G5 - MAC OSX 10.4.8) WHY? Incredibly annoying when trying to work on several pieces of text. |

There is still no option to NOT EJECT disk after erasing a re-writable disc. It has to be ejected after every erase and then put back in if you want to write to it. Idiotic. There is no way to "open" a disc image with a simple standard "open" command from the menu either in "Data" mode or "Copy" mode. Only in "Copy" mode can one select a disc image from the "select" button. Idiotic. Roxio people, invest some time in usability studies. |

Same troubel here with "Running with Scissors" I think the studios have wised up to this and introduced a deliberate bug to prevent people from ripping their DVDs. |

All these years Intuit has neglected the Mac market in a gigantic way and yet they expect us to shell out bucks for this miserable program. Minor, "window dressing" updates don't do anything. Even if it was given away as "shareware" I doubt anybody would use it... There are too numerous major annoyances that go on with this program to list here. Calculations are wrong, the impossibility of certain financial operations, the fact that you can't change the font face or size in registers, or general appearance of windows, columns, etc. Overall a big zero to Intuit for delivering a miserable app to us Mac users. |

No idea what you're talking about... I have not experienced these problems. As far as file typing issues in the Findar you can always fix any issues with the "Get Info" command and assign any app to your liking to open a particular file with a certain extension ALWAYS with that app. |
