Your computer will struggle with HD files.

Expect long delays and pauses.

If you can afford a new super computer, you would have greater joy editing HD content.
If you install Powerdirector 9 Ultra on a new 64 Bit computer you would have a 64 Bit version of Powerdirector.

Hello Carl, thank you very much for reply!
I went today to the store and they made me an offer: if I just want to improve my present PC. Please take a look and give me your opinion: is it ok or should I changed there something?

Windows 8 64bit
CPU Intel Core i5-3350P 3,1G/6M
Ram memory DDR3 4Gb 1333 C9 Corsair
MSI B75MA-E33 mATX

those are now, what I should replaced, the rest of in my PC stays as is.
Video files are with max. quality.
BTW, Asking just in case: do I do correctly, when I keep my PD program and video files on one hard disk and Widows on the second one?

Ram Memory is too little, for a 64 bit OS you should have 6 to 8 GB as the minimum RAM.

You not did if say if that computer comes with a SSD drive.
SSD drives are still a big question for Powerdirector use. Some users do OK some have problems.

If you have a large spinning drive, you put your Windows OS and Programs on one Partition (about 200 GB partition) and you can keep your videos that you edit on another partition.

I keep my Windows and Programs on one partition and all of my data on other partitions. That way I can do a disk image of the OS and Programs. If I need to restore, I just restore the OS and Programs. My Data backup is a separate method.

A 1 TB or larger Hard drive is recommended.

Hi Carl, please give me one more advice:
I started from small and added more RAM memory (now I have it 8 totally) and PC runs much faster. Not like rabbit, but faster
But still I have rendering problem. I read this topic: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/24773.page
and downloaded nvidia 301.42 version. I uninstalled the newer version I had (left Nvidia PhysX System Software 9.12.0604. was it right action from my side?) and tried to install 301.42, but still I got warning, that its version is not compatible!
My driver is NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT .
Widows 8 32 bit.
What me to do, to avoid rendering?
P.S. Just got information, that shadow files are not recommended, I had them. I turn them off now, lets see, does it helps me or not.. PowerDirector 17. Windows 10

More RAM...can't go wrong! Amazing how much difference it makes. It makes a great deal of difference on a 64 Bit system.

I looked up your Video Card and OS system, the 301.42 is not available for Windows 8 32 bit, but you can try the 296.17 driver and see if it stops the Rendering problem. 301.42 is the right Nvidia driver for Windows 7 32 and 64 bit. Not available for Windows 8.

I think all of the later versions have that problem in Powerdirector 9.

Of course, you can throw money at the problem and invest in a ATI/AMD video card instead. ATI/AMD does not have the same problem of rendering and rendering and rendering......

Seems that my problem is solved, with min. expenses!
What I did:
1. installed W8 64bit
2. Installed 296.17 driver
3. Added more RAM memory,was 2x2, now I have 4x2 Gb

Have edited here already hour and half and no PD crashes, no rendering, world is beautiful!
Thanks for help!
