Any one else have issues with PD17 locking up randomly and crashing?
Then we you try to relaunch the program it gives you that Current User Sessions Not Supported message...only to have to reboot several times to get it to clear??
Tired of it...how can any one be dependant on this program to actual get shit done??

On the rare event I crash Power Director and encounter the problem you describe, I find killing the left-overs with task manager helps. Specifically PDStyleAgent, PDHanumanSvr Application, and PowerDirector itself. One or all of those three tasks seem to get stuck and need to be manually stopped before the program can be successfully relaunched.
