The CyberLink_HolidayV3_MTP101020-01.exe should be okay to install as it’s a PD9 package. My guess would be the issue is with the DVDMenuTemplate_FootballPack.exe pack as the installer is probably set for PD7, 32-bit path.

My guess is you can get around the install issue by installing and then saving the contents of
C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDirector\Menus and saving and/or copying the contents to: C:\Users\YOURPCNAME\Documents\CyberLink\Custom Menus\3.0

You may have to uninstall and reinstall PD9 and Holiday as part of this too. I always think making a backup copy of the old Cyberlink install folder in the system folder is a good idea prior to installing any new release. That way one can pluck some items out of the old folder structure if you wish that might be compatible.

Bottom line, I think you are trying to use a menu pack that is not really designed for PD9. I'm not saying the menus won't work, my guess is the install is just corrupt for the new 64-bit PD9 and the end user needs to manually correct by copying items.

Man! That is some serious video horsepower you are running!!!

Not sure if this helps, but the newer video drivers (2 separate WHQL releases) addressed many seeming unrelated issues for me (including varoius CRASHES). Many SLI and 64Bit fixes included.

@JL_JL - Just before I read your post, I read the fine print for the Soccer/FootbalPack. It's for PD7. Sigh, there goes $15. I was so excited to find it since I'm making a DVD for my daughter's soccer team party. I wish there was a way to convert it. I've already saved it to the directory C:\Users\YOURPCNAME\Documents\CyberLink\Custom Menus\3.0
but PD9 is looking for a DZM file. I may have to brute force it.

@FredB - I had to update all my NVIDIA drivers just to get PD9 to run.

As a consolation prize, there are a boatload of soccer effects on DirectorZone.

I wouldn't doubt it with all that CARD!!! We have seen a difference in performance of the Nvidia cards (and you are 2 major Nvidia WHQL releases behind).

It appears that your updates are from HP. I recommend going to the link at the bottom of my signature ad updating.

OK, If I nag anymore...one of us is getting married...Good luck in your issue. I am confident the group here can find a solution. I will leave you in their capable hands (and claws).

Can anyone please help me with the file - CyberLink_ContentPack_VDE100318-02.exe

I can not download it from cyberlink. Support can not help me. If someone can upload it for me to my share folder I will really appreciate it. Then I will be able to download the file.

my shared upload folder:

So I tried installing the two addons below and my PD9 stopped working again.

CyberLink_ContentPack_VDE100318-02.exe
CyberLink_HolidayV3_MTP101020-01.exe

SoI uninstalled PD9 and the templates and reinstalled but I now when I Burn I get the error message "Burning unsuccessful. Error code: e80070057 The parameter is incorrect."

The Event Viewer doesn't show any application error log info.

I tried burning a project with the sample clips that comes with PD9 and I get the same error.

Now the Event Viewer gives the following info

Faulting application pdr9.exe, version 9.0.0.2316, faulting module workspace.dll, version 9.0.0.2316, fault address 0x0000000000045456.

Three (3) video cards???
Please update your video drivers to 265.90... Workstation application compatibility fixes.
There may be other issues (like DirectX version and Quicktime) I am sure others will jump in.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-winxp-x64-265.90-driver.html

It's 2 video cards, 3 monitors. When I plug in my card model, NVIDA says I have all the updated drivers for my cards. 259.81

Will create a restore point and upgrade my NVIDIA driver with 265.90. Wish me luck!!!

Don't know how I got to those drivers. When I went back clicking through got me the same (259.81).
Trying to find how I got to the page I sent you.

RESTORE POINT is ALWAYS good. Especially with mixed cards.

EDIT....It appears that those (265.90) are certified drivers and Nvidia Recommended, but not Windows Hardware Quality Labs testing (WHQL). It does list both of your cards as supported, but not sure which will work better for your machine. I found them while looking for "Workstation application compatibility fixes."

Just in case from the Microsoft site ( for XP):

Using the Roll Back Driver Feature
The Roll Back Driver feature enables you to replace a device driver by using a previously installed version. You can use this feature if you have installed a new device driver that causes your computer to be unstable. When you use the Roll Back Driver feature, you can restore (or roll back) the previous device driver, and continue to use the computer.

To use the Roll Back Feature--- For both cards?):

1. Start Device Manager.
2. Double-click the device for which you want to restore the driver.
3. Click the Driver tab, and then click the Roll Back Driver button.

@FredB - It's 2 video cards, 3 monitors. I like my Apple Cinema in Landscape, my HP LP2465 in Portrait and the Cintiq21UX Tablet to draw on. If I had to do it again I don't know if I'd get such a big Cintiq.

So I installed the quadro-winxp-x64-265.90 driver and lo and behold, PD9 now burns to my hard drive perfectly. I will now try burning to disc.

I am seriously unhappy with NVIDIA's website that supposedly searched my system and reported all my drivers were up to date. What's worse is when I manually inputed my model numbers, all it came back with was 259.81
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't of known 265.90 driver existed. Many Thanks FredB!

Glad that it worked. Videos drivers are so integrated into machine function now, that it is HARD to say what an update will do. Sometimes it fixes many seemingly unrelated problems.

Ask anyone here and they will tell you I try to blame EVERYTHING on video drivers (just look at my signature )!! Video technology is moving fast, so new programs use video memory in different ways!

It always bugs me when programs/techs/and websites tell you "YOU HAVE THE MOST CURRENT DRIVERS!"

However, in Nvidia's defense, changing drivers can affect the operation of other programs and hardware. Not all devices support the latest drivers. There is often a BIG difference between Beta, Certified, Recommended and WHQL drivers.

Since many people don't do RESTORE POINTS or know how to rollback drivers when they fail, it is a real risk sometimes to recommend updates not reviewed/supported by the machine manufacturer.

Test your other programs to make sure they don't "bark" at the new drivers...glad to help!! I have heard that many are experiencing problems with Powerdirector's burning engine and menus , so there are many work arounds being discussed. Hope the burning goes well.
