Many thanks for all the suggestions, I willl have to get organised!.   Doug

OK, I have a new computer with, as advised, 3 hard discs. So what is the recommended use? As I see it I have program files, video clip files, project files, and render files. Probably a whole lot more I don't know about. So what should go where?

Yes. Many thanks. Done all that and I seem to be in business. Will try a capture tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

Many thanks.

And serial number. Where will I find that? I have the disc. I have the book and I still have the software running on my old computer.

OK I'll give it a go when I have time. It is a massive file and with my connection I'm looking at 7 hours to download!

No. I have a Pinnacle 10.8 disc and 10.6 studio plus upgrade. The page referred to above does not sem to help with these.

New computer with Vista I put in the Pinnacle 10 disc and get message I need administrators rights to install. I do have administrators rights!  Cannot install.
