Old software, can't use it on my windows 7. I'm sure it'd be good if they had a later version.

This was probably fantastic in it's day. It was written for Windows 95/98 and is entirely incompatible with Windows XP.

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs Updating for XP
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2004
Great program if you're still on Win95 or 98 (don't know about ME), but _don't_ try to install under XP. The install program wants to replace system DLLs (mostly related to ODBC) with much older versions. You don't want to do this.
If you do want to play with this and see what XP's Windows File Protection does, be sure to set a System Restore Point before you try the install. (If most of the above is Greek to you, then just _don't_.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Had this when I was a kid

Blast from the past! I was so into birds when I was kid, I mean I was going to be just like my favorite ornithologist Roger Tory Peterson. So my mom found this and bought it for me, boy was I thrilled. Often did this help me identify birds, and it was through this program that I learned to identify a bird simply from it's silhouette. I have a windows 7 and this program does not work on it, but that doesn't bother me, I'm just happy I have the program.

MIGHT BE A GREAT CDROM- YOU CAN'T PLAY IT ON WINDOWS XP- SOMETHING THAT THE AD DOES NOT TELL YOU. HOW IRONIC I GOT RID OF MAC SO I COULD PLAY JUST ABOUT ANY CD-ROM AND THIS HAPPENS. OH WELL!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product! Installed and works fine for me!
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2013
Pretty awesome product for people who want to be able to check out a number of different things about a bunch of birds at once. And the number of different ways to browse is pretty amazing! You can look by name, by region, by type of bird, by color, by profile shape, etc. etc. etc.Takes a few minutes to figure out how to do everything, but it's quite user friendly for such an old disk.

As for running it on today's computers (late 2013 with a five year old laptop for me), it works fine for me with Windows Vista. Only thing was that the autoplay function wouldn't work (even if i tried to run the autoplay file itself). But all I had to do was access the cd drive ("explore") and run the "install.exe" file myself and it installed perfectly and runs perfectly.

Definitely worth the several bucks plus shipping it costs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works with Win 2000!
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2006
I have used this program for years (Ver 1.1) and it has worked on every system I've tried.

I HAVE NOT tried it on XP, but I would believe it should work there also.

No longer produced, but an excellent Birding program!

This CD rom was given to me as a gift about 6 years ago, when I was a beginner bird watcher. The skills I have acquired are amazing. Sometimes it is easier to identify a bird with this program, than with the field guides I take along on my trips! I Love this product!
