Thanks G.   Here it is      ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Pinnacle\Studio 15\Programs\Studio.exe''          

pinnacle Studio was digitally downloaded from my account with Avid,  downloaded to C drive.  I have no disc.  by ''labor'' I mean I switched from C,  which was maxed out,  to D which had 400 something GBs,  for the work of making movies.  I'm lacking in knowledge about how Studio does it's work or should I ...

The software is stored on C,   all the ''labor'' is done on D   I would like to post a screen shot of my comp specs but forgot how.  go figure. 

Ok David, for me that will take a while but I'll do my best.     In the mean time I went ahead and started a do over on the project and this time I am taking the advice of others who just make short segments, or clips I guess, and save them as separate entities .  at such a time as I feel it is complete then I'll load up the time ...

Thanks G.     I'll try your first suggestion about turning off anti virus program.  I don't understand your ''plan b''   How would a different comp on a different int connection obtain the software since I got the product via digital download ? 

Thanks.  I've tried downloading several times and each time get the same messages.  

WELL, while installing a  version of S15 I found on one of my externals I received an error message stating there are 2 corrupt files  ,  one was on '' Bonus Content'' , the other on ''Abrupt ending of Archive''.  Will this sort of corruption affect how the program renders the files on the storyboard ?
