Hi Jerry,
From your reply I gather you are using a Pinnacle external USB AV/DV Box, I think you

are right that your program my have been 'corrupted'. But don't unstall it with out getting the

download from Pinnacle which cleans all the old Pinnacle Studio files from your computers

Registry. If you just Delete the program using 'Windows Uninstall' there are still files left in

the Registry.

I used an internal Pinnacle AV/DV PCI card for 7 years with pinnacle V8, 9, and 9+ before

upgrading my computer which now uses Vista with Pinnacle 11.1 It is completely stable and

I now input any Composite inputs just using a DV camcorder with 'AV pass through' the

quality is still excellent, especially if I use my S-VHS Panasonic VCR which has TBC.

I hope this info is of some help to you, and wish you well in solving the 'Freeze Up' problem.

Best regards Brian
