Long Time User
Four stars, mostly because I have always liked Laplink, and have used it since the "DOS Days". A problem I am having now though, is that my transfers are stopped before they are completed. The error message says the transfer is stopped because the path (or is it the file name?), is too long. I have Win XP on both machines. Once it stops I don't know what was, and what was not, synchronized (updated). If this problem "is real"(and not unique to my setup), then my rating becomes "zero". This problem totally defeats the purpose of the software. Also, I cannot synchronize against my external storage device (Maxtor) because file names are too long (the Retrospect program that comes with the device can, though).

Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here
This is one touchy software package. I've used LapLink products before and loved them, but an upgrade to Windows XP necessitated an upgrade here, too. It's taken a week of support "chat" and emails with support staff to arrive at the conclusion that the reason my machines can't share files is my Ontrack NetDefense firewall software. The solution? "Uninstall the firewall," (and the virus protection and the rest of the SystemSuite), suggests LapLink support even though the firewall provides network settings that are supposed to permit browsing and exchange of files over the LapLink USB connection when I specify it. It wasn't this particular firewall, necessarily; it could be any firewall, apparently. Uninstalling network protection doesn't seem to be a great solution in this day and age. I guess I'll keep wrestling with the LapLink configuration. I'll see if the folks at Ontrack have any suggestions. Otherwise, I own a hundred dollars worth of non-functional sofware and proprietary USB cabling. I'll let you know if things turn out better and a higher rating is deserved.

Great Product
This product is fairly easy to setup and use and is a great file transfer, synchronization, and remote control tool. I initially had problems with the ip address configuration of the USB cable, but the friendly online tech support promptly got me straightened out. I now use LapLink to keep my work files synchronized between my desktop and laptop computers and it seems to work reliably so far.

Forewarned is Forearmed
I am trying to set up to do a transfer from Windows 98 to Windows XP, so had to order the USB cable which took two weeks from Seattle to Las Vegas! Once I got it, I went to the internet doc., and it told me that it does not work with USB 2.0!
There's no mention of this in any of the printed documentation! (ie: You can't get there from here!)
Don't bother reading the printed documentation; it's a waste of time.
The USB cable comes with a software install CD. After getting into the install process, a Windows error message appears which says that if I continued I might do irreperable damage to my machine, so I quit. After going to the internet, I found documentation which said to "go ahead, we have covered that." [THAT'S] VERY PROFESSIONAL!
The unfortunate thing about this whole fiasco is that I know of no other way to move software from one machine to another. The Windows XP product won't do it. (So what's new from Microsoft?!)
I wish Amazon.com had a negative star ranking because this product deserves it!
If you want to talk with 'live' support, it will cost you $.../hr. You can do a live chat, but if you say the wrong thing or ask the wrong question, they stop responding and there is NO phone no. for warrenty support. You must go to the net and spend 2 to 4 hours wading thru the mess of subjects looking for what you need, then hope it works!!

Don't bother sending e-mail to ANYONE ... that also is ignored! This product is 5 thumbs DOWN!

Prepare for some frustration
I'm a long-time Laplink user who bought this version with the USB cable specifically to transfer all the data files from my old Win98 computer to the new Win XP machine. I DID get it working, but only after a substantial amount of frustration.

The USB connection didn't work at all when first installed. I gave up and went to the Serial connection only to discover that it was spontaneously disconnecting every transfer after about two minutes. When I went back to solve the USB problem, I found that telephone tech support ...available only by appointment. While the documentation included with the software was useless for troubleshooting and solving the problems, the online tech support (eventually) yielded enough detailed info to get things going. I now (at this minute) have the USB connection working with transfer rates at upwards of 3 Mbits per second.

Oh, I also encountered some files that would not transfer becuase the path was too long. What's that about? If windows can handle the file name, why can't Laplink? ... Read more

Dragon Point and Speak vers. 3.52
Can't get it to work - does mike not work? NO HELP from Dr agon Co. Who owns it now?

I use this to type around 40 pages per day
Dragon seems to be an undiscovered tool. It allows me to dictate consultation notes and business letters in copious quantities without the expense of a typist or what would surely turn into a carpal tunnel syndrome. It's faster than using a typist as the turnaround time is instant.

It's not perfect. I frequently have to use the mouse and the keyboard for absolute accuracy, but it beats typing by far. You can train unusual words in no time. It's only 99 dollars and worth a shot. You have to have a computer of greater than 750 mH with at least 128 RAM.

Great program but needs top of the line computer
Dragon NaturallySpeaking software is, in my opinion, the best speech recognition software on the market (and you pay for the fact). It is highly accurate, especially if you speak clearly, and is easy to train. Even corrections and navigation are easy to do entirely via voice commands. If you do a lot of writing, even if you're a fast typist, it will save you time and definitely wrist discomfort. There are drawbacks, however. It needs a fast processor and lots of RAM. I have a Pentium II 366 with 128 RAM and it's all it can do to handle the program. I got the standard version hoping to use it in different applications, but I really can't because then too much of the RAM is used and it's too slow and makes more mistakes and sometimes locks up the computer. I end up just dictating in the included notepad and then cutting and pasting. This is fine, but I should have gotten the basic version for that instead of spending the money on the standard version. If you have the latest and greatest computer then you may be all right. Another problem is that the included microphone picks up every background noise, so you must use it in an absolutely quiet environment.

99% accuracy! The best!
This is the best speech recognition program ever. Must have. ... Read more

Amazing and simple! But limited options if not using Outlook
Initially, I had low expectations for this program as my previous spam filter only filtered about half of my spam. Over the course of two days SpamCatcher caught 224 out of 230 spam email messages (97%!!). As you can imagine, I was very impressed.

SpamCatcher comes in two flavors. There is an integrated Outlook version which adds a button in Outlook and a Universal option for basically any other POP mail program (eg. Eudora, Netscape, etc.). I use Pegasus Mail and the program works flawlessly with it. There is a slight initial delay every time I check email (2-10 sec), but otherwise there is no noticeable slow down (DSL connection, Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz. Notebook computer).

The program uses a variety of methods to detect spam, ranging from fuzzy logic to heuristics. However, the most powerful tool of the program might be their SpamCatcher Network (over 1 million strong according to the box). This network works by having people report spam that aren't filtered. This is entered into their database so that other users will now have that spam filtered. If you use Outlook, you can report spam emails that didn't get caught to the SpamCatcher network, but if you aren't using Outlook, you can still check your email against the network.

The program has other features such as an approved and blocked list of emails/domains, or the ability to "bounce" an email back to the sender (Outlook only).

I get a lot of spam everyday, and this program brings order to my inbox. While SpamCatcher is fairly basic in terms of options, it works. And that's what matters most.

I highly recommend it. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

If you find yourself deleting most of the e-mails in your inbox without even reading them, iHateSpam may just be the program you need. Available for users of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, this utility is great for personal users, but may not always be appropriate for business use.

iHateSpam takes only a few moments to install, but the setup process can be somewhat time-consuming. After installation, iHateSpam mines your Outlook contacts and any folders you choose to look for e-mail addresses you do not consider to be spam. It then creates a "friends" list so all the e-mails you do want to receive will be left untouched by the program. Conversely, iHateSpam also has an "enemies" list to which you can add unwanted e-mails that you receive and the sending addresses will be blocked by iHateSpam. You can also bounce an e-mail back to the sender, which includes a message saying that your addresses is unavailable, thus tricking the sender into deleting your e-mail address from their database.

While all of these features seem attractive in theory, we found that the program has some drawbacks in actual use. First, the setup process becomes redundant for the person who uses Outlook for business purposes. It is extremely difficult and time-consuming to manage a friends list when you receive and send e-mails to hundreds of coworkers and associates. Further, creating an enemies list becomes a delicate process as you do not want to inadvertently have a new customer or contact be labeled as an enemy, even though you have not received e-mail from them before.

All in all, iHateSpam would most likely work very well for someone who uses Outlook for personal e-mails only and who is merely trying to get rid of the junk so they can keep in touch with their friends and family. But for anyone who is already managing a wide database of contacts, it creates more trouble than it removes. --Kendra Hayden ... Read more

Some comments 1 year later
I used I Hate Spam! for a year and was quite satisfied with it, and it's a very good spam filter program. I wrote a very positive review some months ago for it, and it has certainly served me well. It was easy to configure and although I was only using it with Outlook Express, which doesn't have all the filter options compared to Outlook, it was still able to catch about 80% of the spam. I had also researched the other spam filter programs before buying this one, and it had very good reviews on Amazon, compared to McAfee's Spamkiller, which I'd already bought, but hadn't opened yet. So I returned it and exchanged it for I Hate Spam!

One nice feature of the program is it allows you to "bounce" unwanted emails back to their source. This sends a return email that looks like its from the main email router that your address is invalid, which hopefully causes it to be removed from the spammer's mailing list sometimes. I don't know how effective this really is, but they're a certain amount of satisfaction in bouncing their message back to them and clogging up their mailbox with unwanted messages too.

My only problem with it is that since I only have 128 megs of RAM with XP, after some months the spam filters got so large my email ran quite slow and my hard disk started thrashing a lot. I was surprised the combination of Outlook and I Hate Spam! had gotten that memory intensive, but the spam filters update regularly from the web, and after a while the filter database gets quite big, and every email gets compared against it, which takes some time.

Anyway, over the last several years my spam load has probably increased 10 times, to the point where I'm getting 10 times as much spam as actual email. That plus the memory issues I was experiencing meant my email downloads were taking a long time even though I only get 2-3 emails a day, and I was getting 20-30 spam messages. That's not much compared to several people I know who get 100 spam emails a day, but still, I finally decided to bite the bullet and change my email account name. You can usually do this through the webmail interface for your ISP. Mine is Earthlink, so I went to their Account Maintenance page, selected eMail, and went through the steps to change my email address. Now I get zero spam and no more viruses either, which were getting more and more frequent, since I'd gotten on probably dozens of spammer mailing lists. Recently I got on the ones for Viagra and was getting lots of those. Then I started getting the ones for penis enlargement products, which I suppose was only inevitable after getting on the Viagra lists. Oh well, that's modern life for you.

Anyway, it was at that point that I decided to change my email name. For some people this isn't practical for professional reasons or business reasons, but I'm retired so although I have about 100 correspondents, it's no big deal. I sent out a message to my entire distribution list that my email name was changing after four or five years, and to make a note of it. Of course, 3/4 of those people won't do that and will fail to put the new name in their address book, but oh well. Anyway, I recommend you do this too if you possibly can. At this point I don't even need I Hate Spam!, but I still run it anyway since it's so much faster now.

One last word of caution. I got all that spam because when I first got online about 5 years ago I not too wisely signed up at various webpages for various online information services such as electronic magazines, or information updates on various subjects I was interested in, and other free stuff, and after awhile, everybody and anybody had my email address. So be careful what you sign up for. Otherwise you'll have more email than you know what to do with.

Another way this happens is if someone you know gets one of those Outlook email viruses that sends emails out to everybody in your address book. Now you'll be getting emails forever with that virus in it since you'll be on the list of people to email. This is one reason why it's important to have an anti-virus program too in addition to a spamkiller.

Overall, a fine program, although if you take my recommendation to change your email name, you probably won't need a spam filter. :-)

Best Anti-Spam Program I have ever used
This is the best Anti-Spam program I have ever used. The McAfee SpamKiller ... It blocked out all the emails I wanted and was a pain to use. iHateSpam is easy to use, and it learns quickly on what you do and don't want. It even has an easy to use getting started section where you can add people to your Friends List and your Enemies List. If something gets blocked out, simply tell the program that it is not spam and you won't have to worry about it ever again. This program also has cool features which other programs do not have. One of those features is the "Bounce". That sends back an email to the sender saying that your email address does not exist. This could take you off of thier spam list! The other feature, is the "Report" That reports the sender to thier ISP, this does not always work as sometimes it is impossible to find this out. Overall an excellent program. I give it 5 out of 5 stars. It is well worth the ... price tag. You can get it for FREE now after rebates, that is a great deal. That is what I did. Do not be mislead by estimated shipping dates. It was estimated that I would get mine June 5th through June 26th. I got mine on May 13th!

Only catches half the spam
This software only catches half the spam I get. When it misses emails with text such as "Banned government CD" I have to wonder if they guys are updating their software at all.

The Best One Yet!
As a small business owner, my inbox used to receive a constent flow of Spam, that is until I installed "I HATE SPAM".
I have tried other products before, but this one is easy to use, and does actually work.

I Despise I Hate Spam!
I bought and installed I Hate Spam on Outlook Express. In spite of careful setting of filters, it continues to place good mail in 'Deleted' and put garbage in my 'Inbox'. But, that is not the worst of it!! I have uninstalled it from my computer and it CONTINUES to interfere with my email and delete my good mail. I CAN'T GET RID OF IT!!

send photos
i ordered this software and installation went every smooth. I selected a photo to send by msn mail. after pressing the send button, absolutely nothing happen. you have to start send emails back and forth or try getting someone on the phone. this software is too much trouble. i am sending it back to the company for free......

Sendphotos/novatix
It's a Great program but 3 days after I downloaded it , it has disapeared from my hard drive. How do I download it again. I paid for it with Visa card. Who do I contact to get some help.Please E MAIL TO

Very Impressive!
I was looking for some software to help a friend who is not a PC expert send photos by email. I found a review in the Wall Street Journal by Walter Mossberg that demonstrated this Send Photos could do the job.

I checked and found the original version on sale. However, I checked the Novatix web site and found a free download trial version and also an update: Send Photos Gold, for sale.

I tried the evaluation version - an 18MB download. Only try this if you have a broadband Internet connection! I installed it and it worked very well. I tried it first using Microsoft Outlook 2000 as my mail program. Configuring that led me to an process of installing Microsoft Collaboration Data Objects (CDO). I could not be bothered to find my MS Office CD so I took ther risk and installed it from the Novatix web site. I am always nervous about this kind of thing because Microsoft software is so complex and brittle, but so far it works and nothing else seems to have broken. The warnings about "do this at your own risk" gave me pause however.

The main point of the program is to enable "the rest of us" to email pictures easily. I was impressed that I could mail multiple high resolution photos from my digital camera and the software built a page containing compressed but still high quality images. Their compression algorithms are excellent and completely invisible.

I invited my non-expert friend to try the evaluation version. She installed it and used it with Outlook Express. Her first messages had the text but no photos which confused us. The problem was solved by closing and restarting Outlook Express and since then everything has been fine.

We tried some simple photo editing: cropping, adjusting brightness and so on. That is no problem and probably fixes 99% of all amateur photos. What a contrast in simplicity from, say, Adobe Photoshop Elements. A fine program in its way, but so complex! And this is the "simplified" version...

The other major feature is the stationery. I am old fashioned and go for the plain and simple look, but I am sure many will enjoy all the options.

Lastly we tried using it with Yahoo and Hotmail. Here Send Photos uses its own mail server to send the photos, but with a "sender" field that makes the message look like it comes from me. That's a clever solution to allow Send Photos to work with any email system, even if they are web based and use proprietary protocols. I have two concerns about this:

1. If Novatix goes out of business, their mail server will go away and that use of the program won't work any more. You'd still be able to use it with Outlook (Express) because there it uses your own mail server.

2. It seems to be possible to send photos on behalf of any user. This is because Novatix can't check the validity of an email address, nor whether I have the password for it. This seems to be dangerous and I did not see anything about it in the Send Mail otherwise excellent online help.

I heartily recommend this program for non-expert users.

Email photos in a quick and fun way
I'm a mother of two with family out of the state and out of the country, and I'm so happy to finally have an easy way to share my photos with them. I'm not real technical and I'm still able to compose an email with photos (and comments for each one) in just a few minutes. The backgrounds ("stationery" themes) that you can pick from are fun and make me look like I really know what I'm doing! My son just got braces and minutes after we got home I sent the grandparents photos with SendPhotos, and they get to see them in their email just the way I sent them...no attachments to fiddle with...just fun pictures right in the email.

Wow! Fantastic product.
I have been using SendPhotos for a few weeks and I am amazed by this software. SendPhotos has made it really enjoyable to share pictures with my family.

With this program, you don't need to be a computer expert, quite the contrary, I think that anybody can create stunning picture emails with it in no time. The best part for me? Emailing a single picture as an attachment used to create an email that was typically 500kB or more. With SendPhotos I can now send 30 pictures (yep, I've done it :) in a message and still be under 500kB. That makes it so much faster to send or receive pictures. And the recipients of my emails don't need to install any special software to see the photos.

Highly recommended. ... Read more

Doesn't work
We received this software bundled with a D-Link web cam and have had no success using it despite repeated e-mails to technical support. They have basically told us that the servers it was set up with no longer exist, but have not given us a new one. Therefore it is impossible to connect to the Internet Directory to "chat" with other users.

Worked with ME, not XP
I used to use this software a good bit when I had WinME. The only real problem I had was with the answering machine. NO matter what I did, the recorded voice (mine, not the pre-recorded included) sounded as if it was speaking at half-speed.

I've now upgraded to WinXP and I can't get it to work. It installs fine, recognizes and initiates my modem, but it won't send out a fax, nor will it let me make any settings changes. It acts as if there is no phone line connected.

Also, good luck finding any support whatsoever. The original maker Communique, doesn't even list this product on their website.

Stay far, far away!

Ever hear the phrase: Good in theory, bad in practic?
This software epitomises this phrase. I bought this software for its voice capabilities, and loew and behold, it has bugs, and it does not fully support my modem. In fact, it only supports 3 modems PERIOD. I wish I had known this before I gought it. Oh well. Do not make the same mistake.

Great deal!!
Once in a while, I come across with products with great values at great price. This is one of them. My friend recommended that to me last month and I can't believe all the features it has at this price. First of all, it recognised my modem automatically without any problem and I can send/receive faxes immediately after this.

Unfortunately, my modem has no voice features so I cannot enjoy the voice features of this product yet. Even treated as a fax-only software, it is still a great deal doing the same as Winfax does at $60 less.

Do Not Buy This Software
I also purchased this software because it was a good price and it seemed to have all of the features I was looking for. However, when I installed in on my computer to use it, it never worked. I am now out the money I paid for the software because you can not return opened software. I believe if the software requires special equiptment it should be listed on the box so that other comsumers don't waste their money on something that won't work with thier hardware. DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE.

DO NOT BUY THIS PROGRAM!!!
If I could this product would receive -5 stars. While it seems to install without a hitch, in actuality that is because it doesn't recognize your equipment and will not work. The authorized modem list consists of less than 12 modems and only one of those is a PCI modem, needless to say not mine. SO! It never got up and running, and being opened software it can't be returned for a refund. Caveat emptor. ... Read more
