excellent! achieved success with this. had to stop the install tho as i wasnt sure about trying strange things as you suggested, and chose to uncheck the first box, plus went with custom. thank you for your help

not sure if here is ok or if the forum prefers a new topic. i have a situation and am not sure what to do. my purchase of nch videopad disappeared when the computer shop in town wiped my pc clean after a crash. not sure what version it was, that part was not mentioned in the receipt, but i have the emails from the time of purchase, so it's either the 2.41 or the 5.10. ie : NCH Software <donotreply@nchsoftware.com> 9/29/11 anyroad, back to the situation. dl'ed another videopad onto the pc once the shop had it restored to operational. the old code doesn't want to work. the program instead wants me to purchase another updated version etc. so i came to the forum thinking about what to do with this, as i dont think i should have to purchase another new version ontop of the what was it, let's see .. For: Software Licenses 1 x VideoPad Video Editor Master's Edition ($69.95ea): $US69.95 (sale discount from RRP of $99.00ea applied) No technical support purchased. Delivery by online download. License Serial Number(s) Starting 83831400xxxx Total: $AUD72.32 (approximately $USD69.95 at this week's exchange rate) .... and low and behold, i see this msg. here. do i delete the program i now have on this computer and start again with the old version is my question. will my old code work with the version am guessing would be the old one i had with my reg. code? thank you

well, i give up on uploading with microsoft. i wish i could figure out how to sort that out, but i can't. moving over to mozilla (and i assume same would be with chrome) has resolved my upload issue. Nat, you mentioned transitioning, and so, now i am going to work on that. good of you thnx for suggesting it. i will also let you know if the corel slideshow works out. give me a week, or a month. no idea how long that will take me to figure out. picture in a picture is interesting, too. also, adding little graphics for the fun of it is also intriguing. anyone willing to share their talents here, to discuss how they resolved issues anything like that, please do.. also, links to something else on youtube, that you think is worth sharing. all that would be greatly appreciated.

thank you Nat, for your excellent reply. i esp. enjoyed your end comments, and the link you offered to view something on youtube. the issue of adding music is quite a challenge. i found one spot freemusicarchive.org that offers music, free to use online etc, but honestly the music here isnt always so interesting to me. yet another dastardly time consumer looking for good music. anyone willing to share other music sites that allow use of their music, that would be great. Nat, the piece regarding the slideshow in corel, in my mind is about making that program useful and earning its keep so to speak. i have it now, am stuck with it and really should try and make some use of it. comparing slideshows, it is possible the corel might make a really nice little product, perhaps value adding in creativity factor, compared to VP. that is my interest in knowing if the two things might be able to work together. did a basic search on youtube ie., http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=nch+videopad&aq=f one of the videos in the list, see down on the list: (Day 118) - 05-19-2011 - There, I fixed it geez! (beware this chap has a dirty mouth) is interesting he sneaks a cartoon character into the scene now and then. how fun! so now i am puzzled and so on as to why my files wont upload and suspect that it is to do with the windows xp. anyone that has a suggestion for me i am open and all ears! managed to get myself right in a mess at this point, am dealing with alot of disappointment none of it to be blamed on VP either, but right now i cant upload my videos to youtube or facebook. i have a video i finished today so that isnt the issue. sharing is the whole point, which really is the big fun of going to all this trouble isnt it, the sharing of things which for me right now isnt working (*whereas when i was using the trial version it was!*). my pc crashed here a week ago and my friend helped me with getting it back up and running again. using a process of elimination, we discovered it seems there was ram in there that needed replacing (might've been the bugger of a reason things piled up, tho i am not sure). anyhow after things were brot back to life, i couldnt find some of my disks. so my printer didnt work (my friend found drivers online, but the scanner is still not operational at this time). i couldnt find my cyberlink PMB (now found, but for awhile lost) and i had to use an older version of windows (xp) because i couldnt find my version of vista. this xp really is not up to snuff. my goodness i see i am directed to a page that says Launching Web Platform Installer, something to do with silverquick was it, and studio tools expression.. which after triggering installing asks for passwords and i dont know what passwords it wants. no clue, total blank. i am totally useless at this point. that reminds me. windows movie maker is no longer available for windows xp. charming int it. i wouldve atleast enjoyed seeing it atleast to compare functions, but not in the cards for now. so as it stands, now i have 2 programs that were supposed to be for making fun wonderful films and i am out of pocket and out of luck i suppose. i hope things get better. so frustrated here! thanks again anyroad.

am curious to gain an understanding of some of the features that would be easy and fun to use. searching youtube brings up many many tutorials. which is nice. i am trying to gather from all this what is possible and realistic for me to learn. some of these things do not come easily by the way so i am right now feeling really overwhelmed actually. yesterday i purchased something called corel photopaint pro thinking about fixing flaws and come to see it makes slideshows. i am now wondering if i could make a slideshow using corel, and once finished, will it be possible to stick that corel slideshow into the middle of a VP movie project, for example. corel does not like my blackberry movies by the way. boo on that. it was not a cheap program. went to their webpage today and am having a heck of a time trying to learn that program. im sure it was made to be easy enough for dummies like me, but i dont find the tasks pleasant. organizing photos for example is confusing. the PMB program that comes with my sony digital camera is very nice and easy and organized and lovely. the corel is full of glitches and i am faced with perplexing stuff with it. anyroad, back to VP, the task of doing the picture in a picture looks interesting. would anyone here be willing to share their finished work with me, so i can see what works really well, and looks really good! my plan is total shameless desire to mimic in order to make movies of my own. i am mostly feeling something of a panic as i want to get something nice finished in a timely fashion, yet i dont have a very large amount of time to study and learn, and, plus, as i said earlier the learning doesnt come very easily to me. I hope you are willing to help here with this! thank you so much.

Hi everyone, registered vp pro today, after using it on trial for a short time. so far i am very novice and new to this. several questions come to mind, will ask one at a time.. also, i did a search and found some interesting forum posts and replies, but am not able to find an answer to this one in particular. in the process of registering and activating the vp pro, i read something of interest, and that was a suggestion to try other nch software, some of which may be free. rather than dl software that is trial version only, i was wondering if there is a quick way to figure out what software exactly that is absolutely free to use. will continue to look around for a list. hope ok to save alittle time by asking here. time is always in short supply isnt it thanks.
