[UPDATE 2009.10.27 - Fluenz just released f2, charging purchasers of v1 a $7.00 upgrade fee. I am happy to report that f2 cures most of the problems I first noted in my review. The DVD can be installed to your hard drive, and thus is usable on netbooks and other portable devices. It now remembers where you left off, so you can pick up there again without any wasted effort. The program can be minimized (though still only displayed on the default monitor as far as I can tell). The license is the most flexible of any program you will buy and I can use it on my laptop and netbook. All in all, a worthy upgrade that leaves some nits for f3, but takes care of the most pressing issues. As noted in my earlier review, the method is proving to be very good. Upgraded from 2 to 4-star]
[ORIGINAL REVIEW: The method makes sense and seems to be quite good. The software program itself, however, is laughable for this day and age. The company surely must be planning a real version and they should certainly give a complementary upgrade to those of us who bought this "beta" version. From many examples . . . there are on real instructions on how to use the software. The software does not allow you to view it on any screen except your default screen, so if you have multiple monitors (or use a laptop with a larger monitor that for many reasons you don't want to make your default) you cannot do what every other DVD or program allows you to do. Worse, the program window cannot, ever, be minimized so you can work on other tasks while you take a break (or even email). To take a break, you have to exit the program. And, unlike a normal DVD, the program does NOT remember where you were so you have start from scratch by rebooting the DVD, finding your lesson, and then spend 5-10 minutes finding your place in that lesson. That is every time you want to take a break. The program cannot be loaded in any form onto the computer, so you cannot use this on netbooks or mobile notebooks without a DVD player actually running. Thus, to use it, your DVD must be running which will kill your battery if you are using this on a plane or away from a plug. You cannot navigate backwards/forwards between items within a lesson workout (rather, you can only navigate between workouts) . . . In sum, if you are used to modern computer software and basic functionality, you will be sorely dissapointed. 2 star][keyword]learn+french+online[/keyword][yahooquestion]learn+french+online[/yahooquestion]

First, you need a big magnet.
Then write the name of the program that you want removed on that big manget.
Open up the chassis of the PC, then put the magnet near your HD for about 15-20 mins.
When you turn on your PC again – that software will be gone.
In my initial testing of Windows 7, I was a little disturbed to find that a default install of Windows 7 Enterprise did not include a default screen saver when a user would log in. I was also a little miffed that logon.scr (known as the “Windows XP” screen saver in Windows XP and “Windows Logo” screen saver in Windows Vista) was also nowhere to be found when I searched the file system.
Wonderful!
Thank you for your time and commitment of making this available.
Do you have any other formats available other than PDF? My interest is to re-format for a free Bible software program for personal use. This would have many advantages (at least for me), cross referencing and comparison among a few.
I’ve been reading your other material and have found a new excitement in doing so. Many thanks. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Blessings

In the cable box you can go into settings and set the default screen size to 16×9 the default may be set at 4×3 and that is why you get black bars on the right and left. Also you can't get HDTV through composite (yellow) video you need to go get component (red,green,blue) video or HDMI (does video and audio in one cable) to get your HD picture. A 720p HDTV can display 1080i just fine 1080i is 540 odd interlaced (combined) with 540 even, so your HDTV can scan 720 at one pass and only has to do 540 in each scan then interlace them. The HDTV circuitry does this scaling automatically based on the signal it gets. But if you are hooked up with the composite (yellow) video that output on your cable box is only 480i and can't give you HDTV, once you get a component or HDMI hook up you'll see how much better the picture is.
Dear Gendalf
Can you advise on how to manipulate the isntallation with the TCNY that comes already installed on portable hard drive. I would like to copy the content directly onto the local hard drive, and read the data on the main computer hard drive rather than on the prtable drive. The installation does not seem to contain the ny-sqlite-3.db file as is found on the DVD version of the TCNY?
With thanks
Jonathan
