Upgraded from PowerDVD 8 to 12 and I performed a complete uninstall of the previous version rebooted and installed 12. I gotta say that this software is pretty bad......

Upgrading from 8 to 12 I would expect that the software would play disks without issues.

Problem #1

Disks will intermittently not play with this version that play just FINE on this machine using Power DVD 8. This version gives you a loading message for the disk and then a black screen. Restarting the application does not fix the issue, only a restart will.

Problem #2

Putting another disk in after another finishes and you hit the eject button = no play. Gotta restart the machine to get it to work. More often than not the software just hangs and Windows 7 states that the software is no longer responding and gives you the option to close it. Looks like you guys need to clean up how your java code is running.

Problem #3

Sometimes the video player opens in a new window leaving the original Power DVD 12 screen

Problem #4

Taskbar is not aways removed when you go full screen

Problem #5

Mouse support is non existant. How about making the mouse work just like it does on a DVD or HD-DVD? (version 7 supports HD-DVD and has mouse support for those titles. that giant remote control thing just does not cut it.

For the asking price of this software, there should not be these problems (1-4)
