 Doesn't work, 2008-09-11
A friend of mine who is from Africa (living in Dallas, Tx.) bought the software and installed it. He found that he could no longer access the internet! So he had to uninstall it. Sad, because he really needs it (he's more fluent in French than English.) I'm always suspicious of software that says it will work with Win95! I mean, what's with that?
I've been researching to see if anyone else had trouble.

Software did not work so couldn't use product, 2008-06-25
I bought it for less than $7 so I didn't have any expectations and didn't feel like spending the time to get it refunded.

 A Great Idea!, 2003-12-05
Oxford University Press makes some of the best dictionaries in the world... and now they are available on CD-Rom!The Pop-up Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary is the CD-Rom version of the Concise Oxford-Hachette French-English dictionary, with 175,000 words, phrases and definitions. Omitted from the CD-Rom are the sections on French grammar, pronunciation and correspondence, but all of the word entries remain... ready for your hard drive! This is a fantastic tool for students and translators who write and research on their computers. The program is simple to install and use, and uses up very little memory on your hard drive. Oxford University Press makes dual-language dictionaries for every major European language, for every country participating in the European Union. The CD-Rom versions (Pop-up) can be purchased in module form... You can buy as few or as many as you like, and they interlock and work together as one drop down menu on your title bar! A terrific idea, especially for those who are frequently corresponding or translating from one language to another! I first purchased the English dictionary and English thesaurus in this series, and recently added the Oxford-Hachette French-English dictionary. I am so thrilled with these, I plan to buy my college-bound niece the English dictionary and English thesaurus for her computer. It is relatively easy to find the English dictionary and thesaurus, the French-English, German-English and Spanish-English dictionaries in North America. If you are interested in other European languages, you might have to pay a bit more or import them, but it will be worth the effort!

 Looks good but I need it for a Mac!!!, 2003-09-04
I will get it for my son's PC but I can't find a dictionary like this for Mac. You would think someone would make it. I wish it were easier to search CDs in Amazon by operating system or to link a comment to a product
