Create disc failing at theme stage VS 11+

[stormcab]

I have just upgraded from VS9 to VS11+. I have just tried to burn my first disc, immediately a problem. I load up the files I want burned to disc, click next to go to the theme page, then nothing. None of the options are highlighted, neither is the close down red x, so to exit I have to ctrl/alt/dlt. I am doing everything I used to in VS9 for the past 2 years, following THE WORKFLOW, I have reinstalled VS11+, downloaded the patch, tried different files, NO EFFECT.

Any ideas

It has become almost a mantra with me over the past couple of months to suggest people first go to the Microsoft DirectX website and download the latest update patch. The current one is dated March 2008 and can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en
Note that it updates both DirectX 9.0c (XP) and 10 (Vista). The number of your DirectX installation will not change, but the patch gives extra functionality in a number of areas and corrects other faults in VS11 in particular which do appear linked to Windows updates. Problems in the burning module associated with building menus and previewing them seem to be amongst them.

I did say I downloaded the patch in my first post, still nothing.

Did you download and install just the VS11 patch? Ken is talking about updating to the most current DirectX, which is not part of VS. Don't rely on the DirectX version number to reveal if you have the most current, it does not reflect it.

I actually downloaded the windows patch first, after your reply I downloaded all the Ulead patches, and BINGO. Again you have saved my life, well you know, not literally.

Thanks again
