I've been happy with Panorama Factory. I just use it for simple automated
stitching. There are other programs (such as PTGui and PTAssembler, if
memory serves) that give more manual control to fix up stitches that are
difficult.

Here is a first stop.

Play with that for a while. It does very well.

My current favourite is PTGui. I also use Autopano, sometimes just to create
the setpoints for PTGui.

Opinions vary.

You can do a lot to make panos work out better. Use manual settings on the
camera. Use a tripod. Unless you have a pano head for the tripod, avoid
foreground objects to eliminate parallax problems.

You've gotten some good suggestions for Windows-based programs, but on
the off chance that you're Mac-based, let me offer a couple for that
side of the aisle. For fully-automated stitching, I've become quite fond
of Calico (www.kekus.com). For jobs that need manual tweaking of the
control points and finer control, I use Hugin (hugin.sourceforge.net).
