Gents,

This may seem like a very stupid question but I was poking around in PD8 (actually I was using Windows Explorer looking for something else) and I came across a Menus Folder with very large sub folders tree that i don't understand.

The pathway is C=>Program Files(x86)=>Cyberlink=>PowerDirector=>Menus

In this folder are the following sub folders: 3D Album, Balloon, Draw, DVD Cover, Gallery, Global Tour, Love Memory, Ocean and Sparkle. Each one of these has the following folders inside: Audio, Background, Button, Effect, First Play, fontstyle, frame, highlight, Layer Template, layout, MMotion, Motion, pcbg, TemplateThumb, and text. But when I open up these folders there is nothing inside??

I ran PD8 and tried to figure out what these do but I'm stumped. Can you enlighten me?

Thanks for the assist Regards,

Jim

Hi Jim -

Yes - Something's amiss there. The attached image shows what should be there. You'll see the file path at the top.

I would imagine that you menu templates might not be functioning properly without those files.

You could try searching for one of the file names. They may be misplaced somehow. If that fails, a re-install should correct it.

Cheers - Tony

Tony,

Thanks for the image. When I looked at it something went off and I remembered I was looking at my install of PD8 on my main Drive were I didn't install the content .

I have the full install on a separate drive that I keep just for video editing to avoid conflicts. It has the appropriate files in the folders.

Sorry for being so dense. Regards,

Jim
