Hi Anthony,

I have imported PD6 .pds files, PD7 build 1915 .pds files and I can add music and additional text anywhere along the timeline and preview clips, so I am unable to reproduce your issues.

Using build 2105 on Windows XP SP3 Intel Core Duo T7400 2.16GHz processor with Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GS ( which is not sufficient for my needs, but being a laptop I'm stuck with it).

If you still have a copy of build 1915 (which you should have saved to disc) you can reinstall it, uninstall build 2105 in accordance with Part C of the following link

Build 2105 has rectified a lot of issues which were present in previous builds, so please provide more information.

Since installing the update (PowerDirector 7 build 2105), I cannot add music to the music layer or text to the text layer to existing projects. (I can add them to new projects). I also can no longer preview video clips and photo's from the timeline (I can from the library).

Video editing software is so complicated and there are so many unexpected issues that need to be dealt with, that there is almost always a seemingly constant flow of "update patches".

What you have run into is not uncommon. In other support forums I've seen advice to the effect that if possible one should always complete the current project before running an update patch (or installing a new version).

I'm running build 1915 and have the 2105 patch "sitting" in my download folder "waiting" until I finish my current project on an old Texas fort. Once I've burned a DVD for my files (to copy as needed) and an HD Windows Media Player file, I'll use the "Pack for export" option (to see if I can re-import the project in a patched PD7) and run the patch.

Is it possible to uninstall the upgrade as I need to work with my existing projects? Or better yet, is this a known issue with a fix?

Regards,
Anthony.

The only way you're going to be sure of your project is to begin the edit anew. Bit of a PITA, but you may be surprised how quickly that can go. I've had to do it a couple of times and although I dreaded it, once underway I seemed to remember enough of what I'd done to where it progressed pretty quickly.

Good luck
