I tried Comodo and had the same thing happen as the previous reviewer. The installation went fine, but when I rebooted my machine, none of my software could connect to the net. I tried to figure out how to enable them, but nothing worked. I, too, gave up after 15 minutes and uninstalled it.

FastStone Capture

FastStone Capture version 4.2

  • Overall: 5

I've been using MWSnap for quite a while, but when I came across Faststone Capture, I was really wowed. It's small, has a sleek, simple interface, and is a breeze to use. Unlike most other capture programs, it even will perform a capture of the entire scrolling region of a window. This means you can make a snapshot of an entire web page. Highly recommended!

CDBurnerXP
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Great software but...  qright

CDBurnerXP version 2.2.9
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 1
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 2

This software really has a professional look and feel and works well. Unfortunately, it has installation and uninstallation issues. I was unable to update it due to installation problems. I couldn't uninstall it either (it refused) and I had to figure out how to do it manually. This became very difficult because it installs a couple dozen OCX and DLL files in your system folder and a boatload of registry entries. I dislike programs that reconfigure my OS (i.e., install global OCXs and change my registry) just to work. Unfortunately, most VB programs do just that. I miss the old days of simply copying files to a directory and running them. If CDBurnerXP could reduce the number of OCX files, the number of registry entries, and then make the uninstallation work flawlessly, it would be a great program.
