I recently purchased Pinnacle Studio Plus 10 to make DVD's from my DV home movies. I like the interface because it is pretty intuitive and straight forward for basic editing and menu creation. Problem is my menus originally appeared to have major blue vertical lines distorting the preview image. The edit screen displays it just fine. The burned DVD displays in the same distored manner on my TV and DVD player.

After updating to 10.1, the menus were inverted and sort of a color negative effect. After updating graphics driver and directx9, I just have a black screen for the menu preview. The DVD image again is black also.

I do not have the suggested video graphics card yet(ordered it) but it seems that should not affect the DVD image as it is played on the TV DVD player. Does anyone know why I am having these menu problems? Better yet, any suggested fixes?
