I bought a new Dell inspiron 1720r laptop. Core i7; 8G ram 2G video & Win 8
I stupidly upgraded to 8.1 as I heard it brought the start button back; but didn't realize it was going to have some incompatibilities with some software. Not realy sure I'm ready to do a system reset/restore to go back to 8.0 tho.
Anyway I had PD 10Ultra; decided to make a quick movie yesterday; go to 'produce' it, an no matter what method I picked, it basically stopped at 5seconds into the video. (AVG, MP4, AVI, etc) Made sure I had the latest updates, restated laptop a few times; no go.
So I decided to upgrade to PD11 (I tried the trial on a desktop months ago & it doesn't work with my video files) An low & behold go to produce & same thing!
So out of curiosity I turned of HW acceleration and it processed!
So how do I test if I just can't use HW on my laptop; or if maybe I need new drivers (Did chech Nvidea & Said up to date), or ???
Thanks for any tips.
