I have PD 13 Ultra and Windows 8.1. I select an audio clip, click "edit audio" select wave editor, and get the message "Cyberlink Power director cannot launch cyberlink wave editor. Try re-installing the wave editor program." I still have PD 12 ultra and the same thing happens there. The odd thing is that I can run wave editor as a stand alone program from my desktop and it works fine. I just can't get it to launch from within Power Director, even if I have both programs running at the same time. I don't know if this means anything or not, but the wave ediror folder is in Program Files (x86) > Cyberlink and the Power Director 13 folder is in Program Files > Cyberlink. And I have no idea how to re-install wave editor separately. Any ideas would be appreciated. Randy Wright

During a re-install of PDR13 you should get asked if you want to re-install wave editor (as a version would be found on your PC), make sure you answer OK/Yes.
Could be you have a an OS issue. I suggest you upgrade to W10
x86 = 32 bit programs
You have a 64bit system and the different Program Files differentiate between the software that operate at 64 or 32bit.

Thanks so much! Turns out that the version I already had was, as you suspected, an old 32 bit version. I installed the new version from the PD 13 disc and everything works fine. Thanks again for your help. Randy Wright

Hi angela123,
Please post your question on the PowerDirector 14 forum.

I think a reinstall should throw up the same question & solution as I gave to RandyWright1557. Take a look at the contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\Cyberlink\WaveEditor
Does it exist and is there data in the folder?
Please answer in a new topic.

Thread closed.
