VS4U starts with load to stream error

[qsabe]

Along with giving me a failure after closing telling me to send my dmp file to Corel, but Corel not showing me anyway to do this, my newest error is the best one yet. The program opens with a little window saying "Load from Stream Error" and an OK button. The OK button does nothing. Nothing else can be used. The computer is totally locked up with this wonderful piece of unfinished program in place. My only recourse is to power the computer off manually to restart it. starting VS"pro"4U just locks it down again. Is there a way to clear this without following Corels instructions for every problem. That being to remove and reload the program. The next time I remove it will be to throw it and it's boxed installation disk in the trash can, then go out and buy something a bit more reliable. Like Adobe's little girl Premier, or Sony's video editing program.

This looks so nice, if it just worked. I have quite a few hours into a video and just wanted to add a new title when this started.

Hi

It is possible to corrupt the library by adding files, especially VSP types, and subsequently changing/editing them. If this is the case …………..

From Windows Explorer for XP--Go to……………

C:\Documents and Settings\USER NAME\Application Data\Ulead Systems\Corel VideoStudio Pro\14.0\en-US

Re name the folder “en_US” to “en_US copy”

When you start Video Studio a new en_US folder will be created.

Does that allow VS to start.

Thanks Trevor, but that didn't help. Over my mad, I downloaded the Corel removal tool and it cleaned the program out so I could reinstall. Luckily I saved my trimmed clips before the hangup. The program was so corrupted by something, that the windows add/remove couldn't get rid of it. I really like this for editing, but it is touchy. I hold my breath with every change.

Hi

Glad you managed to re-install, I assume the program is working correctly.

Very strange why some users have problems whilst others don’t, I find that X4 is probably the most stable of all the older versions.

Do you use software to clean-up the pc and registry, I ask as one I used a while ago did remove some files that corrupted my programs, not necessary video studio. The one I use at the moment seems to do the job without problems. Just a thought!
