I just installed Pinnacle Studio 10 in my computer. When starting it up, quite often it just exits, with no further notice. The few times it gets up and running, is very slow. Might be the RAM (512) or the graphics card (a NVIDIA 4400, dated in January 2003)? thanks thanks santiago

pinnacle 10 requires 1 gig of ram and a newer video card than what you have. and a whole lot of harddrive space to be available. about 4 gigs for every hour of DVD movie that you wish to make.

This is wrong... Pinnacle WILL run on an older video card and 512M memory... it just won't run very efficiently (with the older video card anyway... the memory should be fine. When Studio 10 first came out, it DEMANDED a dx9 compliant card with 256M memory. Since the 10.6 update, they have relaxed this a little and you should be able to run on an older card. The display won't be that great and you will not be able to edit HD however. At minimum it should open and give you a warning flag on your video card... if you do not receive this warning when it opens, you should be okay. Goto pinnacle support and make sure you have ALL the updates. There is also an extremely good support forum there.

ADDED: I was thinking about this some more and although 512M is not a lot by today's standards, it should run. UNLESS... you have other programs opened and using some of that 512. The other thing is the video card... I have not looked it up, but if it is SHARED memory then that's even less of the 512M board memory to go around.
