Problem: When I use PD14 in a second Windows User Account, I receive the following message:-

"The current Permission settings do not allow you to select this location.

Select a different location and then try again."

Does Power Director 14 Have a restriction which prevents it being used on a second Windows user account from the one it was set up on?

Background: My video and other media have very different security and access requirements from my other personal and business files. For this reason I have set them up on my NAS storage (GOFlex) with their own user area, separate from my other files.

Unfortunately this has lead to its own problems since I cannnot access more than one user area on the NAS from my main windows account. It will however, allow two different users, albeit still on the same PC, to access these two user areas on the NAS simultaneously.

I set up an alternative Windows user, still just me with a different name, with the intention of using it to access any media files on the NAS and loading them onto shared folders on the PC. This worked fine while I used PD14 from my main Windows account. However, when I tried to go a step further and use PD14 from the second Windows media account it stopped working. As soon as I try to "produce" a video I get the problem shown above.

Attempted: I have tried a number things to overcome the problem but to no avail. These include:

• Making certain that all folders used by PD14 have all permissions for both users.


• Setting up folders on the Media user and sharing these with Master user.


• Making the Media user into an Administrator.

Everything works perfectly for PD14 on the Master user account, and PD14 has identical settings in both accounts.

Request: If there is a PD14 restriction which allows one Windows user only - could I switch so that the user of PD14 was the Media user not the Master user?
