It's not starting!

Post by nickbayley »

I downloaded a trial of Video Studio 11 and used it for 2 days. Then on the second day we had a power cut. When I started up the computer again and then tried to start up Video Studio 11 nothing is happening. I click the icon to load it as per normal but nothing happens....it doesn't load.

I tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it but it hasn't fixed it.

How can I get it up and running again.

Thanks for any help.

You could try to roll back the computer to an earlier Windows "restore" point and see if that helps.
The problem may be that the power cut has interfered with the internal clock of the computer.
The trial version seems to interpret any interference with the clock as an attempt to fool it into thinking the trial period has not finished. Of course in your case it has barely started!
Unfortunately the only workaround for that is to reformat the hard drive totally...a little extreme I know!
