slow useless program
elnavigatorDecember 7, 2014
Pros
none useless program
Cons
slow hard to use if you get it working
Summary
would not recommend to anyone even for free, waste of money
Cannot get program to open after installing
UncleGeneJune 9, 2011
Pros
Unable to determine because program will not open
Cons
Program will not open after installation. Computer will run "shutting down" until I unplug it. Never did this before installing version 12.1.
Summary
Several months ago I was experiencing difficulties with my v.10--small things like changing box events to banner events, so I ordered a copy of v.12.1. My old program was working more nearly as it should have, so I delayed installing v,12.1 until yesterday. Installation and restart was apparently normal, but upon trying to open and run the newly-installed v.12.1, I received the following error message from Creator: "The configuration file C:\Program Files\Calendar Creator\AGB\Startup.cfg does not match C\Program Files/Calendar Creator\CCSku.DLL -- cannot continue." I tried reloading the original v.10, and received the same error message. Any suggestions?
crashes, instructions for crashes are incorrect
MAK9876March 26, 2011
Pros
makes nice calendars automatically updating ages/years and I could add pictures to each page. and I've used it in older versions for years.
Cons
It no longer works--probably due to extras they have added. It crashes without saving, is slow--especially the pictures. The instructions require changes to my computer--but the instructions are incorrect.
Summary
Wish I had seen this review earlier!! Don't waste your money.
I am a long time program user, vers 4, 8, 9 and now 12.
Elder_GuyFebruary 16, 2011
Pros
Version 12 works much the same as Ver 9. Both have their warts, some warts are the same in both. You know them and you work around them.
Cons
Unable to get the Daylight Saving time event to work properly in Ver 12. It needs more generic plain calendar layouts. I was finally able to get my Ver 9 layout to work. That layout did not appear in the list of layouts.
Summary
I was worried about upgrading to Ver 12 but I had to upgrade due to the purchase of a Win 7 laptop. I had read the thread about incompatibilites with previous versions. My Ver 9 event files read in without a problem. I doubt if I will use any of the net related features. I up and running without any known problems. I wish they would fix it so the calendar scrolls with a wheel mouse. The event list window scrolls; why doesn't the calendar window? I haven't tried to access the picture files, they were always slow in the previous versions. Overall I would say I am happy with Version 12. As a longtime program user I was worried about going without Calendar Creator in Win 7.
No upgrade facility from earlier versions
DanAderDecember 26, 2008
Pros
None that I can think of.
Cons
I used CC to maintain a Family calendar with birthdays and ages. When I decided to upgrade they said NONE of my user files were forward compatible with this new version. I would have to start from scratch, re-keying all that name and birth date data.
Summary
Broderbund is the SoupNazi of software. I wouldn't spend another second on their crapware, other than to warn others to stay away from it.
Horrible program, Horrible Company Service
Paul_J_LDecember 8, 2008
Pros
Lots of options and variables for customizing calendars
Cons
Incredibly slow. Many of the options for customizing don't work.
Summary
Could not print individual pages of a calendar. Strange behavior with my printer default settings. The only way to change the printer is to change the default printer. The customization options only caused the program to crash or malfunction. Do not buy from this company!
Works well for current calendars
Phil63366November 10, 2008
Pros
Fairly easy to install
Cons
The cost is higher than expected.
Summary
"Crap Software"
October 14, 2008
Pros
When it works its a good software program.
Cons
Doesn't work! Will not load after installing. Just pass this one up.
Summary
Try something else.
B***S***

Pros
Who can tell? They lock it up so tight you can't get in.
Cons
All the lockouts. They prevent me from using the program unless I buy it. I thought this was a free trial?
