I had a project almost finished using PD 13 Ultra and then upgraded to OD14 Ultra. All seems OK but then I saw that an Fx named Fairy Dust which I had appled to an image was still in the time line FX trk but the effect was lots of different coloured squares floating down rather than what was there previuosly under the Fairy Dust option. I could not find a Faury Dust option under the PD 14 lists.. Is there one and what could cause this problem

Do not have a fx called Fairy Dust in my PD14 ult. There is a particle by the same name. If you are missing it then you can download it here: http://static.directorzone.com/detail/7573117 . Could you send a screenshot of your timeline with fairy dust on the fx track.

The particle that makes up the ''dust'' is not being found by the new PD so it's just replacing the missing particle with a pixel or something that appears as a square. The easiest solution is to just grab another download as suggested. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
