So I got a new download of PowerDVD 8 Ultra after losing my data from a bad hard drive(had a back-up on a CD, but IDK where that went), and when I tried to run it it said it needed an update. Given the problems with updates to this program before, I was reluctant and clicked "No," hoping to be whisked directly and happily to my movie. Sadly this was not the case. The update message kept rearing its ugly head, so I caved in and downloaded and even installed the latest update. Big mistake on my part, because now PowerDVD won't even open.
