Any suggestions? for or against.

I can't believe how long ago I started this thread. I bought the Pinnacle 15 and installed on an XP desktop and used for a long time.
Then one day...it disappears after starting up. I reinstalled - same problem.

I try to open a ticket and learn avid is bought out and no support. wtf?

Anybody else have the same problem and was able to fix it?

I upgraded to Pinnacle 16 (supported by Corel); had many issues with the Avid versions; 16 is much better
