PD7 installed PhotoNow for me. It is an updated version from PD6 as the new vs original layout looks a little different. No real other obvious improvements. Mine is version 1.1.0.5203, PD6 had version 1.0.0.4310 for me.

You might check C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PhotoNow and see if the program is there. If not, I suppose the Uninstall and reinstall of PD that Dafydd outlined is probably in order. That is the approach I used to first remove PD6 and then install PD7.

Hi Ed,

Jeff has given the right course of action to follow. I would also consider after the uninstall of PD7:
Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > CyberLink PhotoNow > Remove

Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > SmartSound QuickTracks > Remove

I would then go into Program Files and delete the two above named directories - removing any remaining data.

Both these will be reinstalled when you install PD7 1714.

By removing the PhotoNow in this way you ensure the product is likely to be installed without a problem.

The suggestions I have given are what I would do - follow them at your own risk.

Hi; thanks for the advice; re-installation certainly worked; however see my post in 'PowerDirector crashes when altering DVD menus'

I have not been able to install 1714; though have managed to re-install 1628 with PhotoNow working; so an improvement.

I have been in contact with Cyberlink about the 1714 download; at one stage I was starting to think was a system problem but as 1628 installed OK think it must be a problem with their 1714 files; or at least the ones I have been linked to? Will see what they say.
