Oh yes. Now that I've installed PowerDVD, Pinnacle TV Center is shot.
I've experienced this problem many times.

That's why I image C: before trying a major new software. I keep my data
on F:. If it doesn't work out, I restore C:.

Even better, I use bootitng, so I can copy C:, boot the copy, and
experiment on the copy to see if it goes ok.

But to do that you have to work in chunks much smaller than the hard
