I was fooled by the DE in the PowerDirector DE 10.0.1.
DE usually stands for Dell Edition. Did you buy your computer new?
Regardless, I think Power Director 10 DE is an OEM piece of software. The rest of the information stands.
You may have gotten it with a Turtle Beach device.
No... My computer is 100% new. I got it in store and windows 8 was installed but not setup. I found PowerDirector 10 along with the other cyberlink software on my computer pre-installed.

Did you ever install a codec pack? Sometimes a bad codec pack will overwrite the codecs that are supposed to be used.to ones that will not work properly. Uninstalling and re installing as Carl suggested might straighten out those codecs.
Since you have a Dell Edition OEM piece of software, have you gone to Dell to see if there is any help there? They also have a good users group.
Most OEMs are castrated teaser versions of the full commercial software.
HP* My laptop and software is HP* i'm in the process of downloading it now...
But, i some how doubt that, seeing as the problem was present with movie maker before i installed codec's/fraps.
Maybe So, but from whats been said it is still usable with various formats.

Ok, I have just loading in some mp4 videos created from my android phone. Similar issue.
If i load the videos into the content library i am able to preview the video with sound and it works.
But, if i put the video into the timeline and want to view the project, the sound plays but the video doesn't; similar green preview screen. But i know for a fact, that i have the right video codec's to play the videos because i can preview them from the library and, encode/decode them. As for WMV files... no, same issue.
If you have problems with both MP4 and WMV, you may need to re-install Powerdirector.
Part A Part B and Part C
http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/24771.page
Powerdirector uses different codecs for the Media Library and the Timeline.
Media library is just playback, the Codes used on the timeline are encoding codecs.
You may need to run your Android MP4 videos through a Converter software.
Many converters will convert the original MP4 of a repaired MP4 video that will work on the Powerdirector timeline.
I have problems with MP4 & WMV for video only, and AVI for Both.
But considering that this problem is present in Windows Movie Maker as well, Re-installing will not make a difference.
Part A:
PowerDirector DE 10.0.1.1925
SR Number VDE120405-01
Licensed to HP
Part B:
http://pastebin.com/hVGH191W (As found in the first post.)
Part C:
I will try but i don't see how a problem present in both PD10 and WMM will be fixed though UN-installing and reinstalling.

Yep, it is not supported OR the conversion and download screwed up the file. The deposit had too many steps to try to get the file to download. The megasfile worked. I'm not sure why you can't upload as an attachment.
It is a fraps file which you have been saying and it requires you to have a fraps codec on your computer. I used gspot codec information appliance (free) to get that information. I can't even play it because I don't have that codec. That may be why you have the green screen. I tried it with two other video editing programs and none of them worked.
You might try to use a third party converter to convert the file to something usable. I just tried to convert the file to mpg using "Any Video Converter 5" (free) and it converted. I saw what looked to be a blue box with the words blue wool. I added it to Power Director and was able to preview it as it should be. Try that.
Note that I used Power Director 11; I am still having intermittent problems with random crashes with Power Director 10.
Is this enough for you to continue to work on your project.
Might just be the file size being 15mb... there must be a limit.
No, i have fraps installed... so it can't be the codec. In order for fraps or any program to encode a video, it needs the codec.
And besides, even without the codec, with Movie maker (or live) on a non-windows 8 pc, the file works fine... but simulary, MM has the same trouble with playing AVI files... Ir crashes if i try to preview... I fixed it by running in compatibly mode for XP-SP3 then changing back to W8, but it's still unstable; And unlike MM, PD10 isn't so easily fixed, i tried the same thing but i have had no improvements.
As for "pre-Converting" the AVI file... Yes, it would work; but it just isn't a good option. Converting it not only decreases the quality of the video but it takes time, then adding in the editing process and a the rendering process, which takes time and decreases the quality further; The time taken to edit the video would be pushed way up, and the quality will have a huge impact. As an example; i record a 20 minute video, file size is around 4gb (for 480p), then I'm looking at converting it to lets say WMV, that would take only 10 minutes, 15 top, And the quality will be dropped 5-10%. Then i would edit it, which would at least take 20 minutes, most likely 40 minutes for good editing. Then I'm looking at another 10 to 15 minute rendering time and another 5-10% quality loss. And then, the upload time of usually 15 minutes. Total time, at minimum of 1 hour 15 minutes and at least 10% quality loss. (base on tests) But of course it'll probably take longer, and I'll rather not waste to much time.
Yes, i can work, but barely, with what is suggested.

Jack, Perhaps I'm missing something but it took me only a few minutes to find this:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4132&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5322141#N809
Software and Drivers.
gundam: Most reasonable people would not have trouble understanding at least part of your suggestion. Yes, shadowing has an affect on the preview window. You are saying that you have to change the user settings after you add HD video or you also get the green screen also.
I understand that you are trying to change the driver settings to see if that will permanently cure the problem. Please tell us what you do change to fix the problem.
Jack, until you do upload a few seconds of the video, I'm sure I can't do more to help.
That is the right page but, I've checked and people have said that it doesn't work correctly, in the sense it doesn't activate. I'd rather hold off until we are sure that is one of the final possible solutions.
I have uploaded a few seconds of video!! Why don't you check the post before... before... i put 2 links to different download locations, because the upload doesn't work. But because you don't read, here it is again:

I am mortified for my poor English  ... but, I am trying to tell my personal experience.
After a HD upload to Youtube, same video is passed to catalog, without ask from me.
The message before having video in the catalog is related to using of HD rendering and the need for PD to enable shadowing ...
Sorry again but in the italian version translate the setting and the software message back to english is not easy.
The result was the green screen in preview section and in multimedia preview.
NOTE only for preview in HD! Preview on low res. continued to operate. Preview to multimedia still on green screen.
Tryed to reinstall and update sw. without result... but, in another user profile the problem is not present ...
Mhhm ... in the affected user profile tryed to reset all to standard setting. No result.
Reinitialized user profile from 0, and the problem disappear .... until import of HD video pubblished before !!
Then I have green screen again ...
At this point I'm tryed to change some setting in the advanced video driver setting windows, until problem is solved.
Sorry again if someone do not understand what I write, but English is not my native language ...
I would like you tried to write for me the recipe for "spaghetti alla bolognese" in Italian 
Ah well that made a little more sense... lol, sorry about earlier, i just was having a really hard time understanding.
hmm... Odd... unless it might just be a problem with the videos? i mean, I'm not even trying a HD video, I'm using a 480p video... could it be file compression?

Isn't the fraps capture a wmv file? What are the properties?
It would still be a big help if you uploaded a few seconds of the video for us to play with. If everyone has the same issue, then we'll know that the file for some reason is not supported. If we can get it to preview, then we will know it is something on your computer .
No, fraps has always been .AVI. The properties where listed in the first post, but here they are again:
848x480 (480p)
Data rate 144852kbps
Total bitrate 146388kbps
Frame rate 29
audio bit rate 1536kbps
audio channels 2
Audio sample rate 48kHz
I've also recorded a quick one.
Note- Due to size, I'll uploading to separate site... (only 3 seconds and 15mb -_- (Fraps has bad compression lol))
Here are two links, pick which ever...

Jack, don't get thrown off track.
I looked at your posted computer specs and saw an HP Pavillion g6 laptop. Do you know how many versions of the g6 there are? I told you I looked at the US site and that you should look at the UK site for more information. What is the full model number of your laptop? I'm not sure why you would get the OEM software and then later not be able to redownload it
What is the file type? As I told you, there are many different types of AVI video files. Why are you reluctant to answer the questions? Do you want some help to try to find the answers?
What do you mean by "I man the one above the timeline" Have you tried any of the "other" preview options?
Lighten up with someone trying to help. It is apparent that English is not the person's first language. 
HP Pavilion g6-2210sa.
The file type is a AVI video file which is a FRAPS output. Read the first post. -_-
Blue- The Box above the timeline.
Green- The Fraps .AVI file. Which can be played in the preview screen next to it. No problem.
Yellow- Adding it to the timeline...
Red cross- Clicking or selecting the video project, it shows up in preview screen.
Red Circle- Click play and green preview screen... well, it's green to me, but black in the picture.
-As for other preview options... i tried all the ones below the preview screen but no luck.
But still, he can understand enough to have a post of some sense... well barely.
Yet still, GPU's are still relevant in this topic so we are still on track.

I just went to the hp site and looked for drivers and software for your computer. There are downloads for each of the bundled software packages. Yiouare correct that the version you have is W8 compatible.
You may want to download it again. This is the US site; the location for your location may be different:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-111008-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4132&product=5312241&sw_lang=
Please note that most of the software that comes with a new computer are OEM (crippled and castrated) versions of the full commercial products. perhaps your version does not handle the file you are working with.
Have you tried a different (standard) type video; perhaps a wmv (non-fraps) or mpg2. You can google for examples.
Incorrect. Check the laptop that is against my laptop model; under my model there is no download available.
Further more, the file type is supported; I am able to load the file into the content/media window... i man the one above the timeline where you load files to... and i am able to view the file, as well as play it in the preview screen.
However it is when i drag the file to the timeline and try to view it i get a green preview screen.

LOL, same for me, in my HP laptop ...
but in advanced NVidia view ... I have see some "strange" setting ...
And I have try to change it anywere ... and the green screen problem is disappeared.
Try to check, and chang something ...
It was painful to read that. I would recommend to proof read what you write. I really don't mind interne slang because i understand it but that was just a horrible mess of... idk.
But let me state this now; I have Intel HD Graphics 4000 and not a Nvidia card. Please check the first post under the title "System info" to find a link to it.

Sorry, I was reading that as a problem with green screen. Not a problem with seeing a totally green screen when you preview a video. It must just be too early !
Contact your computer manufacturer and get them to give you a new download. Did you get any discs with the computer; it might be there.
Please tell us a little more about what you are trying to do when you get the green screen. Are you simply doing an edit of the video or ???
What has MS said about your computer and what kind of issues you are having with Movie Maker. Suggestions: Make sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed (or repaired) and make sure that you have msxml 4 (or later) installed.
You said you had all the codecs; does that mean you have the latest version of Quicktime installed? I'll assume that it is.
You said you updated the video card/chip drivers. Try uninstalling them and then re-installing them. What you have may be corrupted.
What kind of AVI file? AVI could be a lot of different things. Where did you get it? Can you cut about 3 or 4 seconds of that file and post it so we can try it? Is the video a DivX program? You may need DivX installed. http://www.divx.com/en/software/download/start
I don't know if your version is compatible with Windows 8.
-No disks and they have already said no... i just asked...
-I simply loaded the file and dropped it in the timeline then i wanted to preview it and i got a green preview screen.
-My computer wasn't the problem, it was a problem with movie maker as found after a 6 hour remote desktop with an engineer.
-I have the latest version of directX already.
-I have the latest msxml version, the installer told me.
-Yes, i have quicktime 7.7.3
-I said i have the latest versions. And if they where corrupted, i think i would have known about it from playing battlefield 3. But from uninstalling and re-installing nothing was improved.
-It's a fraps AVI file output. I have double checked and it has been confirmed working by other people.
-If my version is not compatible with windows 8, why was it pre-installed on my laptop? and even confirmed working find by HP?
