First of all, are you trying to open software or a file of a video in a
certain format...

if you right click on the file, what is the file type?

If it is softwarem, what is the name of the software?

It's the software icon on my desktop Ulead Video Studio 8.
I've been using this software for 2-3 years without any problems until now.
I have tried a complete "restore" a couple of times, and even removed and
reloaded the software. Any ideas? Thanks

Unfortunately, the company no-longer supports this program...therefore, You
can't even get an up-date..

However, if you right click on the icon, then go to the bottom, choose
properties, click on the the button that says find target...and see where
that leads to... and get back here and report, it may be that it is not
coinciding with the .exe file to open the program...Also, has your screen
resolution settings changed recently, I believe you have to have it set to a
certain height and width for the program to work properly

Also, what was the other reason for doing several restores..., that could be
a clue...

I did as you said and clicked on properties. It opens up the Ulead list of
the following: applications, application extensions,application configuration
settings, Icon, and Ulead file folders including: oft_plug, Bitmap,Cross
Sell,Device, Editing style, fio,Neptune_profile,
Player,ppp,Samples,Templates,vtf_plug,vio, WM Profile, etc.
I also changed the screen resolution as you suggested from 1024X768 to
1280X1024, I rebooted and still get the message when I try to open my video
software.
The reason I had to restore earlier this month was because I was getting an
error message as follows: "Divice driver installed on your computer caused
the Windows operating system to stop unexpectedly." and "Some component of
Active Shield are either missing or might not have been installed properly."
After I did the restore, I was able to use the software for a few days, then
I started getting the "Cannot initialize application" message.
I really applicate all your responses and continued support Steve, Thank you
so much!!

OK, here we go again, On the Icon on your desktop, for the program you say
you are getting the error message...
Go to it and right click it, double click the properties tab at the
bottom...andd then click the button that says find target...

It should open a window with the .exe file highlighted, if not tell me what
is highlighted...because the icon may not be pointing to the correct function
to start the program. being that you re-installed the op sys, something may
have been moved or damaged, meaning a file may have gotten corrupted to start
this...
If you have the software for this program, you might want to un-install the
program...and possibly try to re-install..

 

[Guest]

Thanks Steve for being so patient. I did what you said again and the blue
highlight is: vs studio 1308kb Appilcation. I did uninstall and reinstall
once but I will do it again if you think I should.

I am with you, lost at this point, I suggest you re-post the question again,
being that it is a week old already, you might have better luck with some of
the more knowledgable people...I'm just a novice...

You might have to do some things to the registry...But I'm not the one to
tell you how...Sorry I couldn't be of more help..

 

[Guest]

Thanks for all your help Steve, and thanks for sticking with me on this.
I purchased the new version of Ulead Video Studio, and so I hope this will
solve my problem.
