Bought a new laptop last spring with my new DHD Sony camera to compile college recruiting videos for my son and others on his team. Loaded EMC9 v.9.0 on the laptop and fought for a week with the hardware/software rendering issues and then had to delete Drag to Disk and things seemed to work fine. laptop is runnning Vista Home with 1GB of memory.
So being a normal guy, I just had to have a much more powerful desktop as the lags and drops on the laptop were to common to deal with. Got a HP 8120 Quad Core 2.4GHz with 3GB of ram and a decent video card. It's running Vista Home Premium.
Tried many times to load my box copy of EMC9 with no success..Followed all of the tips on clean install and such but some of the files listed on the clean install actually didn't show up on my drives..so I'm thinking that it didn't load completely. I also get the "bad install - no permission" screen of death.
Could it be that somehow the software is already registered on my laptp and it won't allow a dual registration on my desktop ? I know the program is single license, single machine but do you think this may be the cause ? If so, I will gladly remove it from my laptop to have it operate on the new desktop but don't want to go through that unless I know it will clear up the MPEG-2 activation issue..
Your help is appreciated.
PS: I already purchased Adobe Premier Elements but haven't opened it yet as I would really prefer to get this one working as I know my way around it.
