I run winXP. I recently installed a new nvidia vid card. the card was working OK til i tried to use my pinnacle version 8 editing software. it freezes up after it compresses 505-550mb of mpeg2 movie. I removed the card and returned it to the store feeling very positive that that was my problem. even after removing it, pinnacle still freezes up, so i did a complete OS re-install. PINNACLE STILL FREEZES UP!!!! I am losing my mind here. pinnacle was working fine til after i put in the new vid card. but after the re-install it should be working. I don’t know where else to go for help. this is such an odd problem i doubt the normal “computer guy” would know what to do.

Marcus Aurelius Guest | First you don’t say much about your computer CPU speed and RAM.Studio 10.2 Beta is out so your Pinnacle is very old.Besides this the software is very complex and uses a lot of memory.1 GB RAM is good to have and if you read the user’s manual from Pinnacle the software requests at least 1.2 Ghz speed. Also a big memory for a video card is better to have 256 MB or more but here we talk budget and you know better if you can afford it. I use Pinnacle only for my family video clips to organize my collection but for watching movies a video converter works faster and my choice is the new VSO ConvertX to DVD.My advice is look for a newer Studio and if you want quality buy a good videocard( Ati or nVidia).To have an idea I give you the specs of my computer: WinXP Media Centre 3.9 Ghz 1 GB RAM 320 GB hard drive 5.1 sound nVidia video card 256 MB memory.Good Luck

I actually have access to pinnacle version9.4 and had it installed when the problem 1st occured, i only used my version8 to try it after i re-installed windows. the vid card i tried to use was an nvidia 128mb. I have been using pinnacle version 8&9 for the past few years w/no trouble of this sort and have made no other changes.
