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 actually use them to work for a very large company . But never used them for Rosetta stone . They do work Great though.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you want to install more than one language on a computer, you can.

I'm not sure. It supports many languages. I did not see anything exactly like that, but similar.

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.

I use windows 8 on my laptop. I absolutely LOVE Rosetta Stone. I am learning italian and it is by far the best lesson plan I have EVR had.

I believe it has a choice of languages when you setup, but I've never seen the option of 5 languages. I bought this used and it's good. The font is rather small (challenging) and it's in English. I'm going to sell this one used and see if I can get a larger font and greater vocabulary content. My 14 year old grandson loves to borrow it. Good Luck!

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 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.

Can anyone please answer what other interface/input languages are supported?I'm particularly interested in Russian input language :)

I was able to install it on Windows 7 with no problem. However, even though I had selected English as the language, it all came up in Chinese (I think). Even in Chinese though I went over to the 3rd or 4th tab over and clicked on it which brought up the various languages and I again selected English which at that point converted everything to English. Hopefully that will help.

Roy, I believe it's download only. However, I am away for a few weeks so I can't give you an exact answer. I would check the kit, if I was at home. I really got a lot out of the interactive portion. Most of the Italian's that we encountered, except for the train station in Rome, were friendly and very willing to speak English. You might be very frustrated with the dialup. Also, be sure you have enough RAM to hold this program. I learned that lesson the hard way. It won't download, if there's not enough memory, or whatever is needed. I'm not too proficient with computer stuff. So you may want to consult with a second person. Whatever you decide, have a wonderful time in Italy. Roy, I believe it's download only.

I tried Windows Vista speech program and nearly threw my laptop out in the yard! It was SO frustrating, adding words when I would take a breath, trying to predict what I was going to say. Dragon didn't do that. We are still learning each other, but I will say I prefer it to Vista. Hope this helps.

I do not have a MAC. I use windows & this program is wonderful. It is very user friendly. I would ask Rosetta Stone customer service this question.

yes, look under pc settings, choose time and language and look for a language pack in your language, I think you have to choose your new language as the primary language.

It does take forever to install, and eats up a huge amount of disk space. It's very full-featured. It has some warts, like any program, and I've been able to do a lot of great stuff with it, but it can be frustrating. Previous versions were smaller and simpler and I thought more stable (I started with version 8).

I have 2. The first is 2 yrs. old. Once you get the hang of using it as a computer ( I had trouble learning), it is great. P.S.: after looking at the other answer: remember that Chinese is the default language. Remember to get to English, go down 6 on first menu, then 2 on second menu.
