You can install the program in this fashion, but so far I have been unable to find a way to add the levels to the program without a CDRom. Any suggestions? Currently I'm using an external hard drive.

Yes it will! I put it on mine....but I also upgraded to 2gigs of memory before installing it. The hard drive on this puppy is 160 gigs...plenty of room and speed too!

Thanks, I'll look into how that is done. Also, can a flashdrive handle a program this large or only just files?

I have never used the headset with the Rosetta Stone software but I have used it with the Nuance Dragon speech software. The headset works great with that program. The microphone is of the electret design meaning (I think) that it is a powered mike and cancels noise surrounding the mike and focuses on the voice. I have used other mikes and I can really tell a big difference in performance. I hope this helps.

According to the box: XP SP3 or higher; Vista SP2 or higher; Windows 7 or higher. (I don't think Windows 8 was out yet, so I can't speak to their confidence about it being compatible with "7 or higher".) I bought it for my daughter, who has Windows 7 home premium, and I can testify it works on that. The Rosetta Stone Italiano itself is labelled "Version 4" -- I don't know the ramifications of that, but there may be earlier versions still available if you have an old Windows.

It would be slow. Try read, write and gold version 11 program. You scan the pages and it converts it to speech.

Dragon Assistant is more accurate and fun than than the native Win 8.1 speech recognition software but the version I was using when I uninstalled it would only take about one sentence at a time and had to be restarted after every sentence so it was only usable for texting. The native Win 8.1 Speech recognition software is in my opinion still a bare bones Beta product, so I will be purchasing Dragon 12.5. I hope Nuance finally delivers on the promise, this'll be the third or fourth purchase of a dragon product. Anybody want a free copy of Dragon 10 that was never satisfactory?

It works with any software that uses a keyboard! :) I actually don't use mine for gaming at all, I have a tablet PC and use my N52 to run keyboard shortcuts since I can't access the regular keyboard in tablet mode. It works great, any keystroke or combination of keystrokes can be mapped to any button. This even includes typed sequences, like if you wanted a single keystroke that would fill in your name or address or something like that. The only difficulty is memorizing all the layouts you'll set up! LOLI'm currently using it with photoshop, painter and manga studio 3 and find it so useful that I'm using it even when I'm not in tablet mode! :) It works with any software that uses a keyboard! :) I actually don't use mine for gaming at all, I have a tablet PC and use my N52 to run keyboard shortcuts since I can't access the regular keyboard in tablet mode.

Hello Will! How are you today? Hope all is well with you. There is no idea about it. You may give it a try and if that is the only reason you need the computer, I will be glad to accept the return if the program is not working with the computer. Thanks!

If your new computer uses 64 bits, you can forget it. It won't even install the program, and from what I've read, the company doesn't plan to fix the problem.

It's good for only 2 installs. So yes, you should be able to. I had a computer crash recently right after installing and had to use my 2nd and last install. I called Rosetta and asked about this and they acted like they will make exceptions and to call them when I need to install again.

If you mean, does it come with Japanese instructions or interface, the answer is no. However, the program is very simple to operate, and if you typed in the instructions on Google translator, you'd probably be alright.

What I can tell you about this drive is that I install it on my Lenovo X201 and after doing that, the computer restarts at least 30% faster, loads the applications much faster as well and because I use quite often Dragon Natural Speaking, this program performs better, and smoother. I hope that this feed back will be of help to you. I am sorry I can't be more technical, since I am not a computer technician.

Win 7 Ultimate can handle 35 different languages, not sure if Spanish is among them, but I suspect it is, and the tendency is to make it possible to switch between versions with just a language kit.

I have never used that software. It works great with Rosetta Stone. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I don't have rosetta stone but it works well with my built in voice recognition.

It will work for any device with a USB port and audio capabilities. Rosetta Stone is software, so it will depend on what device you use to listen to the software.

I actually have TWO copies of the 24 version program and have never been able to get them to install......bummer. I have two older versions and was looking forward to this "upgrade". I understand it is fabulous.....but, as I said, can't get it loaded. Sorry I couldn't help you too much!!

It takes a long time to load and also to run every time. It takes a lot of memory, and often the computer will crash after opening it. It is quite frustrating and you must be prepared for long wait times and patience with this program. There is no support from pinnacle either. If you can get the program to run, it is very user friendly, but, the computer crashing really makes it annoying. Sometimes the program will have a patch to download, which helps for a few days, but, then it reverts back.
