Pro X2 will not burn a disk at all

I get to the part where I can insert chapters and it crashes on me. If I skip adding chapters and just try to preview the DVD it won't preview. I hit the preview button and nothing happens. Anyone know what is going on or is anyone else experiencing this problem?

How long since you have updated DirectX? If you have never done it, then go to the Microsoft DirectX website and download the latest update patch. The current one is dated August 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 appear linked to Windows updates. The menu preview and 'building preview graph' problems seem to be amongst them.

Note that DirectX is not included in the usual pattern of Windows automatic updates. It has to be done every so often by the user manually. So unless you have recently done this, you are probably still using the original, non-updated version of DirectX which came with your computer.

Thank you Ken, I will give that a try and report back.

Ken, that partially worked. I can now add chapters, and preview the DVD however, in the preview mode when I hit the next button to burn the disk nothing happens. It just sits there. I receive no error message or anything. If I skip the preview mode and hit the next button the same thing happens. I can't get to the next page to burn to disk, to ISO, etc.

I had a similar problem not too long ago with v10+ - could not advance past the preview. A reinstallation fixed it.
