need some assistance on this issue.

"Input.  Need input !"  (Number 5, in the movie "Short Circuit")

 

What symptons are you experiencing?  What happens when you try to run Studio?

I've never changed my operating system for Studio.  Do you possibly need to regenerate your software keys?

I have same problem using Window 7 Ultimate & Studio 12 ultimate.  When I try to run studio nothing happens -- I get the "rotating circle" for about 20 seconds, arrow cursor returns and Studio won't run.

Tried running Studio in various compatibility modes -- Vista service pack 3, Vista service pack 2, Vista ( no service pack), XP without and with various service packs -- nothing works.

I'm hoping someone from Pinnacle will read this and tell us if there is a patch coming.

the only symtom is that the program does not run, dont even get an hour glass

I have downloaded and run S12.1 on Win 7RC with no problems - and so have many others.

Obviously something went wrong during the Win7 upgrade (registry perhaps) but there are 3 things you can do.

I am not familiar with S12 but I believe you can repair S12 from the installation disc. However if Win7 cannot find Studio there is a chance that the installation disc won't either.

Second, uninstall S12, use the Pinnacle registry cleaner, and reinstall Studio.

If all else fails, back up all your data and do a clean install of Win7. You will need your Vista disc on hand when doing this. Replace your data and reinstall all your programs. I know this sounds drastic but it is sometimes preferable to start with a clean new system. With the new features on Win7 you may want to rearrange the way you do things anyway.

 

If you have any general software or hardware compatability issues with Win7 then

Hi,

I upgraded Vista to Windows 7, and have Studio 12.1.  Worked without a glitch for a long time, but just today I tried to start up and I got a rotating circle for a few seconds and then nothing.  Checked Task Manager and there is no Application running, but there was a Studio process running.

What worked for me was to restart in Safe Mode, start up Studio, and then exit Studio.

I then restarted Win 7 in regular mode, and Studio 12 started up as normal.

I upgraded from Vista pro to W7 pro and had similar issues.  I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling Studio14 a couple of times.  My registry got so screwed up I had to resort to a third party uninstaller to get the job done.  Seems to work pretty well now though.

Maybe the problem is 'upgrade'. I stopped 'upgrading' a long time ago. Moving from VISTA to WIN 7 it's better to backup your entire disk and select a 'Custom' install. This will wipe your disk and install a 'Clean' Win 7.  Relatively little of your VISTA will carry over, not enough to cause problems in my experience. On the other hand, if there are Gremlins in your VISTA, an 'Upgrade' may carry them over. The one hitch is that a Custom install may require new drivers. I had no problems with 12.1, just the occasional crash during Edit, as before.
