Ulead VideoStudio 6 shuts down.

[Stelios]

Hi
When I launch this program (Ulead VideoStudio 6) I get the message that there is an error and the program will shut down,and it does. Now when I launch it again and again everything works fine. It only happens the first time I activate it. Before it was working OK. I can not undersdant why this happens now. Any help where to look would be appreciated.
My PC - PIII 1GHz, 512 RAM, 40GB, Windows 98SE.

Have you tried starting the uninstall from control panel (then selecting "repair") yet?

[Stelios]

Thanks Mirros_Image but yes I have done that already but still the problem exists. I get the following message:

"This Program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down"

The funny thing is that it does this the first time I open the program, after that when I launch it it works everytime.

So, it just does it once after a PC reboot, then it works every time after that, till the next reboot?

If you've already tried the "repair", you've probably also tried the uninstall and reinstall route. This is certainly a head-scratcher. If I was turning this little puzzle box over and over in my hands I might try:

1. Uninstalling, then (if I had no other Ulead apps installed, i.e Cool3D etc)searching for and deleting all the ulead folders and any file named ulead.*, rebooting and reinstalling and seeing if it still blew a gasket when you ran it first try after a reboot.

2. Scratching my head till I came up with another idea.

Hi Mirror_Image

"1. Uninstalling, then (if I had no other Ulead apps installed, i.e Cool3D etc)searching for and deleting all the ulead folders and any file named ulead.*, rebooting and reinstalling and seeing if it still blew a gasket when you ran it first try after a reboot."

Well I did all these, I had another 2 Ulead apps (MovieFactory and DVD PictureShow) and I unistalled ALL of these Ulead products including VideoStudio. Reboot and deleted all ulead folders, also I did a Regclean and Easyclean. Installed VideoStudio again and still the same problem!

"2. Scratching my head till I came up with another idea."

So I guess I just have to leave with it and keep Scratching my head also in case it comes with somthing.

Thanks a lot though for your help and interest.

I did upgrade my nVIDIA driver to the 28.32 one and problem solved! I don't know why but it works now. Thank God!
