When opening PwrDir today, I received notice that an upgrade was available to download and install. I did this and now am unable to use the program at all. All I get is a one second flash screen of the normal opening Logo and then immediately am given an error message "Ooops...., PowerDirector has stopped." I've re-tried several times and always the same result even after rebooting computer. Frantic. Can't do my work today. Suggestions????

I am considering that your PD16 is not online version

I'm not sure exactly what an 'online version' is. I did buy and download PD on line, but if you are asking if it is a subscription, it is not.
When you suggest going back to a previous update, again I'm not sure what you mean. Since installing the upgrade today I am unable to 'see' the program at all. At the moment, when I attempt to 'open' PD 16 I only get a flash view of the opening logo page and then ....the error message. Have no idea how to revert to a previous version.

Although a longtime user of these programs, I am really a novice at the computer itself.

Hi Gary

Can I suggest that you remove the screenshot, and blank out your email and phone. There are some odd people out there so better be safe than sorry.

Well, no luck w that. Downloaded (again) and ran program. When asked to 'Launch' I did so with same message "Oooops...."
What a waste of time. So sorry I ever opted into downloading this 'upgrade'...

See if you have Windows restore point
Do the System Restore for the previousdate before the event.

Had not heard from 'support' so decided to take your suggestion and did the System Restore. Little scary for me,
but it went smoothly and I have PD 16 functioning as it did this morning before attempting the upgrade. Guess i
won't be trying that again in the near future,

Thanks so much for taking the time to steer me in the right direction. Greatly appreciated.
