Mark, what grossly wrong figures have you been looking at to make you believe that “most people buying Windows 7 are going 64 bit” ? ! ?

Walt D in LV,

Copernic is deceiving everyone. CDS does not work on Windows 7 64 bit, at least not for me. It did work for me in Vista 64 however. Can’t get them to respond to problems on Win 7, they just have a blanket statement that it is not supported on any 64 bit platform.

So copernic, don’t you think “Fully compatible with Windows 7″ is quite misleading, since that implies 64 bit as well? Most people buying Windows 7 are going 64 bit. You’re deceiving the public.

Chris, I realize this post is a couple of years old (hence the SPAM messages). However, I’d like you to revisit Copernic. I’ve continued to use it through it’s latest version 3.2.2 and it has worked fantastically with Windows Vista, and now even Windows 7 (64-bit, too!). Their support staff responds quickly to any questions, which is always great. The Professional and Corporate versions even search networked drives!

If there is a better search tool out there, I haven’t found it.

I tried Copernic too and it isn´t really a bad tool, anyway I changed to Lookeen (www.lookeen.net)!
It conviced me more. First it is cheaper than Copernic (a lot), in my opinion it has more stablility and especially it isn´t a second applictaion as Copernic is!

to joe o:
The article from Chris date back from May 07. It is true that now Copernic works well with Vista and Outlook 07 all together.

copernic works very well with Vista and outlook 2007. It can be faster than the built in Windows Search. Not sure why you would post something that is incorrect. I have disabled the widows search service and just use Copernic, and overall system performance is faster and the search is better.

Copernic didn’t index my computer for a long time, and when it finally did, the color scheme comes across as some kind of 1600′s color tv show.If we’re talking desktop search, aesthetics have to play a large part – and Copernic let me down here

Problems errors with Copernic Search.
I installed it after getting sick of MSN search hogging resources. Heard great things about Copernic but man, it was not for me. This was one program from hell. It came up with an install error 0×0101 which meant nothing of course. Copernic does not have a forum where you can find out those things (maybe because others have problems too). Tried to uninstall it – no way – uninst.exe would not do a thing. So tried my old trick disable it in startup and restart it must uninstall now – still no way! Unbelievable – fortunately, I do a system restore (backup) prior to putting any new program on so reverted that way.
If you want to use it I recommend do a System Restore/Restore Point first!

Copernic Desktop Search in all its forms and versions:

DOES NOT NOT INDEX OUTLOOK CALENDAR ITEMS. OR APPOINTMENTS (what ever you want to call them).

So if you any extensive appointment notes, you can forget about Copernic DS even finding it.

I was a faithful follower once but they refuse to fix the issue while they do other more stupid fixes.
God only knows how many times I’ve told them via email and web forms.

Ask and you shall receive! Apparently Vista performance has been fixed and is now out of beta.
