Hi

This error appeared today.

Tried removing from Task Manager, Run as Admin, and uninstalled/reinstalled.

None worked.

Any ideas?

I hate to ask, but have you tried restarting your computer?

It's not just PDR.exe that needs to be manually killed, often PDHanumanSvr.exe is still running. This old thread should help: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/83509.page#post_box_344769

This error message occurs in all versions of PowerDirector. It usually happens after you close PD and try to open it later. Sometimes waiting a few minutes before re-opening PD365 does the trick. Rebooting the pc also works. Depending on the version of Windows, open the task manager to process/details/pdr.exe and right mouse click on it and select the end task. You should be able to open PD365 afterwards.

EDIT: sometimes more needs to be done as indicated by Jeff.

The PDHanumanSvr.exe appears on top of PDR.exe in my Win 11 task manager. See the screenshot with it circled in red. It may be different in other version of Windows but it is there.

There is no PDR.exe in Task Manager.


I solved the issue by using System Restore, going back to yesterday when it ws working,

I checked Task Manager again, and both PDHanumanSvr.exe and PDR.exe are not there, only Cyberlink Application Manager and Cyberlink RichVideo Module. The only "PD" entry is PDStyleAgent.
