I installed Pinnacle 10 on my laptop which has vista. I was suprised that it even installed on my computer knowing that its only for XP. But when I go to run Pinnacle, the program freezes and shuts down ( I get a box that says Pinnacle has shutdown for an unknown reason). Can anyone tell me why it does this? Thanks

What version of 10? 10.8 is the version you should be using, and there are various ways to install it on Vista depending on the original discs you have. The only version that can't be upgraded to work on vista is SE

Could you verify the exact version? You might be only a step away to make Studio 10 run on your Vista system.
