I know this is not a technical question and I have sent it to customer services.

When I purchased PD8 a couple of months ago, it came with photonow. I now need to move to another machine and can't find the photonow installation file. I can't find it anywhere on the net either.

Anyone have any ideas as to where I might find it?

TIA and cheers

Glyn -

Do you have your original PD8 installation files? PhotNow is installed with PD8.

There are 2 files PDR8_Program & PDR8_Content.

Cheers - Tony

Hi Glynd,

PhotoNow is an integral part of the PowerDirector installation package, although it shows as a separate file in Add/Remove programs it is not available as a stand alone program.

Thanks guys for the quick response.
I have the original PD8 install file and that is up and running fine. The content file is a dynamic install and when I run it I get a 403 forbidden error.

There is now photonow in the uninstall programs on the new machine, but there is on the original box.

Any idea why I would get the 403 error?

Cheers

Alright Patrick so I can't type!

Photonow is photo editing software which links in to PD.

Once it is installed, you should be able to find (and shortcut to)PhotoNow.exe under c:\program files\Cyberlink\photonow.

Just an update. Cyberlink support has given me a link to download the content pack again so I can get photonow reinstalled.

Well customer support did give me a link and credentials to download the software, but the credentials don't work. I have repeatedly asked for corrected credentials but I don't get a reply at all.

Is there anyone on the forum with direct access to Cyberlink who would chivvy them up a bit for me?

I really need to get the new computer going with photonow and all I need is to be able to log in and download it.

I would appreciate help here guys

TIA and cheers

Hi Robert,

I PMed Dafydd and hopefully he will be able to help I have pasted the reply here sans the password. Not sure if you can help with the information supplied, but if you can I would appreciate it.

Now one thing I did notice now is that the expiry date is in November rather than in December. This may of course just be a typo.

Glyn bach, you should not have posted the download links on a public forum - think next time. I've removed them.

Robert meant for you to provide me with the page link (http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/9103.page) to this topic!

Part of the link you provided is out of date. I require the information asked in the PM still. Diolch.

Deall fi?

Dafydd
