I just upgraded from PD10 to PD12 suite...it installs in different directories (PowerDirector12) and apparently leaves your older versions intact. I just tried and can launch the older PD 10.exe. I guess you could manually uninstall them if you want. Dell XPS8300 - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit -SP1
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2310 CPU @ 2.90GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.9GHz, * Gb RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6450

I have the trial version of PD12 and I just bought the boxed full retail version. Do I need to uninstall the trial version before installing the full version?

Ryan - do you have any custom Titles and effects that you made or downloaded from Director Zone ?
Also any NewBlue effects you purchased ? (PD 12 Ultimate and up comes with NewBlue Video Essentials 1,2,3)

Backup your custom Titles / downloads and especially your NewBlue Motion, Art, Paint effects before uninstalling the older version of PD.

1.) Your Custom Titles & PIP, Motion paths can be found in C:/Users/Your name/Documents/Cyberlink/PowerDirector/

2.) NewBlue found in following:
Program (x86):Cyberlink/Shared Files/Plugin/NewBlue Directory
Program :Cyberlink/Shared Files/Plugin/NewBlue Directory

3.) Downloaded Titles, Effects, Audio, Menu, Styles etc. can be found in: C:/Users/Public/Cyberlink

Now you can uninstall PD 11 then install PD 12 and copy the above backups back into their respective directories.
