I bought Video Pro X several years ago and never used it. I thought I'd check it out after doing an update. Now it won't run. The fact that I get a constant reminder to extend the service update makes me wonder if the update I got was purposely a bad version to make me buy the new extended version. I have bought Music Maker, several Video Editors, Xara, Video Pro X. I think I'm going to throw in the towel and go another route.
