Photo Director cannot launch resolution lower 1024 x 768 or connected to portrait monitor.
Program will not open
Photo Director won't open if your Monitor is set up to "Portrait" orientation. As a test I changed my monitor to 1920x1080 in Portrait orientation and tried opening Photo Director. It failed to open. I got the error message you described. (see attached).
Have you tried to change your monitor to "Landscape"? I know in your topic you stated that your monitor is set up to 1920x1080 Landscape. Do you have two monitors set up? One in landscape and one in Portrait? This I believe will also cause the error. I think I remember problems similar to this when trying to open Power DVD with two monitors in different orientations. Here are a couple of other topics with a launching problem:

If you only have one monitor and it is set to 1920x1080 landscape then I would poke around in your monitor resolution settings. Maybe a second monitor is set up and not connected possibly causing the problem? In your monitor settings does the setup show only one primary monitor? I am not sure if windows could be tricked into having a second monitor setup with it being physically disconnected. But I would take a peek and confirm that your monitor settings show only one monitor connected, and set to landscape at 1920x1080. I am sure it is and this makes for an interesting puzzle to try to solve.
Just thought I would jump in and add some ideas.
EDIT: From rereading your post it sounds like PhotoDirector wouldn't open on two PC's with your 38" monitor attached? Correct? Can you troubleshoot using a different monitor? Check connecting cables at each end for bent pins, maybe it is a PC to monitor connection problem. Try a different cable?
