 Watch Out! February 9, 2006

This software really scrambled my computer. Had to reinstall numerous programs. It created 77 errors in the Registry. I haven't had this much trouble in years. I even created a restore point before installing, but that didn't help
Watch Out!
Buggy, terrible piece of software. January 18, 2005
Ticked Off
[...]
In addition to the 3MB memory problem, which has no excuse, I encountered an even more frustrating and obvious bug in the program.
They MISSPELLED THIER OWN DIRECTORY! The result was that the install ended with an eror telling me that they could not find the directory and that it did not exist.
This error, along with the 3MB error caused confusion as to the true cause of the problem.
I have had this program for 10min, and that was all the time it has taken to get the feeling that ENCORE put out a buggy, untested steamy pile that is good for nothing but frustrating the buyer. I will never purchase another encore product, and advise agianst anyone else who values their time and sanity to do so.

I purchased this software on the advice of a lawyer who used this in his preparation for the GRE. I completed the first Pre-Algerbra disc and although some of the lessons used a convoluted approach in explaining a procedure, I thought it was fine. However, the second disc, entitled Algebra I, would not come up on my computer. I took the disc to my work and had our computer people look at it. The software would not come up on the office computers.
My home computer registered that it was a damaged disc. The item is clearly defective but I can't get Amazon to take it back.
I am very disappointed. I intend to take the GRE in six months and thought I had enough time to prepare. I didn't plan for damaged software and I did not expect that the vendor would refuse to be responsible for it. There are eight discs in this program and I was taking it one by one. There may be other disappointing surprises in the remaining discs that I have yet to discover. I need to learn this material and if any reader has another suggestion for instructive math software, please let me know.

This is a faulty and buggy piece of software. It will not run on my PC (XP Home)without me changing my Virtual Memory from 1000 mb to 200 mb...what an absurdity! The developer offers no solution other than to change my VM everytime I want to use their software.Well, forget it. They're not the only game in town.
 So far, so good ! March 8, 2004

I originally had reservations on purchasing software. I spoke with a few people at the local electronic retailers and was told that the software should work in my system. I purchased a Dell Dimension 4600, about 2 months ago. 512 RAM, XP Standard. when i launch the program i get an error message that it is unable to find some kind of local file, but this does not seem to hinder my use. I need to brush up on my Math, so that I can prepare for the 1st Actuarial Exam. I will start at Pre-Alg, and work my way up to the Calculus, then I will rely on books by Howard Anton. I do not have time to enroll in a class either online or in person, so I am hoping the software will help rebuild the necessary foundation to continue further.I was able to knock out the Pre-Alg and Alg 1 in one day. ran thru the tutorial, and did the quiz and examinations for both and no problems with running. I will give another review when i have completed Calculus. keeping my fingers crossed.
