I understand the reluctance to allow 3rd party access - I really do.
What are your options and your user specific issue?
1. Run a registry cleaner - get rid of the rubbish. "CCleaner (CrapCleaner)" is one.
2. Look for a trojan - you may have one.
3. Wipe your C hard drive and reinstall everything, start fresh.
4. Allow CyberLink R&D staff to have a poke and prod - just clarify that the door they're opening can be slammed shut asap.
FYI I have been chatting to CL about your issue and the option they've offered, which are genuine and above board.

Dafydd, here is where we are:
1. Run a registry cleaner - get rid of the rubbish. "CCleaner (CrapCleaner)" is one.
- I downloaded and ran CCleaner (CrapCleaner). Straightforward and did its job.
- I uninstalled PD10.
- I then ran CLCleaner2-PowerDirector_10.0.exe.
- I re-installed PD10. Clicked "Create Disc" and it functioned as it should.
- I installed Patch 1129b. Clicked "Create Disc" and PD10 crashed again followed by the "CyberLink Issue Reporter" window.
Dafydd, as far as the remaining options you suggested, below are my thoughts:
2. Look for a Trojan - you may have one.
- I am extremely careful, run a robust antivirus program, scan regularly and the definitions are kept up to date.
3. Wipe your C hard drive and reinstall everything, start fresh.
- No, a total overkill.
4. Allow CyberLink R&D staff to have a poke and prod.
- No, too risky and the outcome is not assured.
This is a case where the cure might be worse than the disease. I do not use Create Disc, and instead rely on other disc authoring software. So, since I can live without it, I choose to quit while I am ahead.
I thank you Dafydd for all your attention to this matter. But, I am sure you appreciate my caution. I will write and thank Jean Lan for the offer, but will graciously decline.
