First of all the Url you posted is no active. Second the negative
posters you find are usually to lazy to do the things needed to make a
program work and can only find the time to bitch rather than ask for
help, even if they probably would not use that help. Again, Pinnacle
Studio works for thousands of users period. Get a life and learn how
to post the problems you have rather than a general bitch.
