Quote: I have just installed a new computer and thought that my projects would be a lot faster to edit but still the same as my other computer..also powerdirector keeps wanting to close the program on me . I am enclosing the information about my computer ..Can you tell me if i need to upgrade to a newer version of powerdirector.. Thanks Pam

You new computer will struggle with PD 9 or PD 10 if you edit High definition video. Both PD 9 and PD 10 are 64 Bit programs and need more computer resources.

It may work OK with Powerdirector 8 Ultra.

You have Windows 7 64 bit which is good.

But you only have 4 GB of Ram on a 64 Bit system, you need to double the ram to have good response on a 64 Bit system.

Also your Video card is short of ram it only has Dedicated Memory: 504 MB. you need about 1 GB of Dedicated Memory for good HD video editing.

You do not have a BluRay Burner in that computer, so no BluRay Disk burning.

Thank you Carl - I will get my computer friend to get the extra memory & new video card & will let you know how I get on...
You are great at what you do and to all the other people that help everyone with their problams..we would all be lost without you smart people
Thanks again
