i bought the "up-dated" version to run on vista, only to find out from tech support i would have to spend a day down loading 12 updates so the product would work. tech support said it was Microsoft's fault, but really it is the fault of the companies failure to spend the money to provide a version that would run on vista. if amazon would take it back i would return it, it's just junk!
