Power Director 9 was working great....like a dream. Then I decided to update the video card drivers after seeing a message about a new driver being available in a popup window in the system tray. So I downloaded it from the NVIDIA website and shut down the computer, being done for the evening. The next day, I started POWER DIRECTOR and noticed something shocking I'd NEVER seen before-



Now suddenly all media added to the timeline must render, painstakingly slow, before being played or previewed- even a still image. A strange new render progress box now appears, as well as a green horizontal line above the file to indicate sections that have been rendered. I don't get it, Power Director always just played anything I dropped into the timeline, without any render box. Please Help!!!

Power Director Ultra64 Build 9.0.0.3305
