PowerDirector 12 bug - cannot add new tracks...and now the program won't start either

I have the basic version of PowerDirector 12 running on Win8.1. When I open the track window to add new tracks, the default number in the add boxes is 0. If I type a number, the "0" is replaced with a "-1". If I click "Okay", nothing is changed. Pressing Backspace or Delete does nothing at all. If I put the cursor after the "-1", I can add another digit. If I do this and click "okay", sometimes the program crashes.



I was going to reopen the program to get a screen clip to show you (after I closed it normally), but now the program itself will not open. A new process begins in the task manager each time I double-click the exe file, but no window appears.



Have others had these problems?



Edit - as soon as I closed the Internet and tried to open again, it opened. The only thing I can think of that would explain this is not enough RAM to support both at once...? Also, we apparently can't upload images to this forum. Oh well.

Ah, I see the problem. The PDS file was created using PowerDirector 11 Ultimate, which allows more tracks than my current software, PowerDirector 12 LE, and the presence of 5 tracks confuses this version because it only allows 4 tracks. The ability to add new tracks on a blank project confirms this. Thanks!
