The first suggestion you are going to hear from everyone will probably be to install and uninstall. My temptation would be to see if you have any of your projects that processed properly and to open one of those and see if it will work. If it does work, then I would say that it isn't the program, it is something in the file that you are working on.

It might be a faster way of checking, if you happen to have one of your old working files on hand.

Otherwise, the next suggestion is to uninstall and reinstall and see if that fixes the issue.

Got similar issue. Have been working with & Ultra for about 18 months and I'm happy with it but I made the update (latest for the Ultra - of which I wasn't 100% if I had already) and now it's resisting to produce Full HD Quality video - crashes every time at 99% ready... Does all the other versions okay. Tried to restore computer to earlier time but that didn't work either.

How is that weird and sick at the same time..??![b] Any tips?

Hi Pekka and Popstar,

You might check to see that you are using the latest build for Power Director. The updates can be of help if you are experiencing problems. No promises....but worth checking out and worth having it installed.

Latest build and probably the last for Power Director 7 is Build 3017.
Latest build for Power Director 8 is Build 2704.

Here is the link to the updates:
http://www.cyberlink.com/downloads/support/powerdirector/patches_en_US.html

To confirm which build you have....Click on the Director Chair Icon when PD is open, then select HELP....then select ABOUT POWER DIRECTOR. You should see something like....well mine says... Power Director Ultra 8.00.2704

Good Luck!

I have found that a system restore usually corrupts PD and it won't work. If you have the older version still, without the update. I would uninstall and reinstall as per the instructions below. When you install, install the version of PD that worked, see if that gets rid of your issue.

Uninstall and reinstall of PowerDirector Try the following way to re-install PowerDirector:
a.) Start--> Programs -->Cyberlink PowerDirector --> Uninstall PowerDirector

b.) Start --> Run --> type "regedit" --> click "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" --> click "Software" --> locate "Cyberlink" ----> click the "+" (if you have more than one CyberLink product) -->Delete the "PowerDirector" folder

c.) Start --> Run --> type "regedit"--> click "Hkey_Current_user" --> click "Software" --> locate "Cyberlink" ----> click the "+" (if you have more than one CyberLink product) -->Delete "PowerDirector" folder.

d.) Delete C:\Programs Files\Cyberlink\PowerDirector And reboot your PC. After this, please install your PowerDirector

Will check and return with the result - now cool with the HD normal as this project must go...

Thx both with your assist and advice

Glad to help!
