Seems a very easy product to use, and is really just what I was looking for. I did have some technical issues though. I do not like running my computer on an everyday basis with full administrator rights, so I have an administrator account for installing software and doing 'system wide' changes, and then my own everyday account which has Power User rights. I don't think this is unusual - it is a well-used standard model for an XP install.
This software doesn't like it though - it caused all sorts of registry errors and just refused to run under my basic log-in. I contacted Accountz tech support and was told that this version (v5) needs to run with full admin rights. I have found another workaround though, and that is to run the program under Windows 2000 compatibility mode - works just fine!
Now the positives: I do like this software, it's very easy and intuitve. Tech support were contacted twice about the problems I was having, and on both occasions they got back to me within 1 day (even at a weekend) and I think they are to be commended for that. I also like the fact that the program install is only 3MB (yes, 3MB) - it just shows that genuinely useful programs don't have to be so big as to fill an entire DVD.

If you want a product that so you can keep a check of your accounts then i would recommend Personal Accounts Home edition. I am a qualified bookkeeper for manual accounts and i am studying to become a computerised bookkeeper. So i wondered how this product would compare to the one i am using in my studies.
It compares very well, i think, as the one i am using for my studies is really for business. If you want one just for your finances to keep track of where you spend your money each month then this is a good product for the price.
It is fairly easy to use, the only thing i found odd was, when i opened up the demonstration version it was not very helpful, then when i went to open the Personal Accounts icon, i just got the demonstration version again, so i had clear the whole thing and start again by putting it in to another file on my computer now it works fine.
It is also helpful to know in the Preference icon on the main toolbar if you go into that set it so that when you exit your work it automatically saves, then you lose nothing along the way.

An excellent software package with far more functionallity than is immediately obvious. Does just about all you want of it from statement comparison, reports, reconciliations.
You need to explore all the options (some not so obvious) within this great little package to get the best out of it. Once you have really found your way around it there is little it cannot do to keep you on the straight and narrow.

I've used this programme for many years now. I find the help pages make it easy to set up and it still has more to it than I use. It's excellent for seeing where the money goes.
