I have the same problem with Adobe Acrobat 8. System stops and will not run at opening. Says there is an unexpected shutdown. Sometimes suggests I lack adminisrative rights even though I am Administrator.

Write up your problem and contact Tech Support.

If, as you indicate you're getting a Vista/PD6 conflict they are the ones to contact.

Vista's - Long Goodbye.

Reading postings and news items often raise a smile, an eyebrow even a sigh of relief...not for everyone.

Have a read of this news posting: http://www.theregister.com/2007/05/15/vistas_long_goodbye_continues/

Perhaps Vista issues should be posted on Microsoft TechNet http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1358057&SiteID=17

My oh my... I don't like the looks of this thread. I just ordered a copy of VIsta Ultimate 64 bit edition and I am using Power Director 6 I hope I don't have the same problem.

Right now, I am using Vista Home Premium 32 bit and PD6 is running good, with the exception of a little choppiness during the preview when I am capturing video.

I can't see there being a difference when running PD6 on a 32 or 64 bit Vista. If there is, I am not going to be impressed.

I have Vista Ultimate 32 bit and I upgraded to PD6 from PD5 and have not been successful with getting my dvd drives to work with PD6 installed. Had to do a system restore in order to get my dvd drives to work again. So I went back to PD5 and installed the 2505a patch and so far it is working. Sure wish I had stayed with windows xp. Has anybody else had this problem?

Dennis,
Do you mean your DVD drive lost after PD6 installed?
If yes, it's after installed or after lauching program?

Hi ddyy
When I install PD 6 the dvd drives work untill I shut the computer off and then when I turn it back on the drivers for the drives will not install with PD 6 nstalled on my computer. I have to do a system restore in order to get the dvd drives to work again. I have tried this 4 times with no success. This is a new computer with everything up to date. I have Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit as the OS. Have you heard of this problem with any one else? Thanks.
