Does anyone have stability problems with PD7?

I can work for a short time, or sometimes for 5 or 10 minutes, and then PD7 thinks there is something wrong, and states that there was a problem and needs to close.

I have the latest build, according to the site, and I have all latest Windows updates, etc. Running Windows XP Pro.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Robert

Back to basics:

Uninstall reinstall PD

PART C

SHUT DOWN background programs that may be causing you issues - prevent net access to auto update programs (manually decide).

save regularily
call media from short address locations
process on a fast internal drive
allow sufficient space on Hard Drives
kick yourself
apply a patch: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/6466.page

Now that I am done with my project, I will try uninstall and reinstall

I will check the links you provided for patches

After it shut down a couple of times, I took it upon myself to discontinue running any other programs. The only active program was PD7.

And I also got into the habit of saving my work progress about every five minutes, because I never knew when it was going to shut down. I also saved the work to two independent files.

Plenty of HDD space. I'm working with 2 120Gb drives. My PD files were not even 5Mb in size.

Thank you for your assistance. Also apologize for double-posting my last query that you replied to that wasted your time. Will not do so in the future.

Will try the above link / patch suggestions and update on solution.

Hi Robert,

"Ask not who has stability problems with PD- ask how PD is made more stable" to plagarise someone famous, as it were.
