I have PhotoDirector 4 Suite w/ColorDirector 1 and the suite installs with no problems on Windows 7 Utlimate 64-bit.
However, when run the program starts, displays the splash screen - and that's it. It just hangs there, even if left sitting for hours. No error message, nothing obvious in Event Viewer, just PhD4 and the splash screen sitting there, mocking me.
I have tried the following, several times:
- Removing, rebooting and re-installing
- Removing with Wise Program Uninstaller, running Wise Registry Cleaner and Disk Cleaner, rebooting and re-installing
- Updating and downgrading to various Nvidia graphics drivers
- Sending CL CS two different dump files and everything else they've asked for
- Installing two different CS-provided install packages for PhD4 (with extensive removal/reboot/install procedures)
... all to no avail. No matter what I try, the splash screen is as far it goes.
I do have PhD3 (free/OEM from CNET) installed, and it works fine. Have even tried removing it completely, as well as all previous PhD project directories several times, in case there was a conflict. No dice.
Attaching the DxDiag report here just in case.
Am I the ONLY person who's been completely unable to get PhD4 up and running at all? Or have I just missed something simple? Hate having purchased and being completely unable to get any benefit from the software.
Thanks for any assistance!
