    I have a dv7t. It came with some Cyberlink software- Cyberlink DVD Suite, PowerDirector, and Power2Go.

    The DVD Suite opens up when I click it, but when I try to open PowerDirector and Power2Go, nothing happens.

    Is this software just trial software that expired or is there a way for me to fix it so I can try using these programs?

    Thanks

    Both of the units we have came with the Cyberlink DVD suite and they aren’t trial versions, so I’m guessing yours isn’t either.

    Sounds like you may have a problem with the installation. Unfortunately there is no “repair” function via windows for Cyberlink but “if” you still have your original HP Software Setup folder you can re-install from there. I think just as a precaution though before I did a re-install, I’d uninstall the software, delete any traces in the file system, run Reg Edit and delete any traces there, and then finally run CCleaner or something similar. Re-BOOT and hopefully that’ll give you a clean platform for re-install.

    This is what I’ve installed:

    DVD Suite
    Original Version 5.0 (from the software setup folder)
    Update Version 5.50.220.702 (update only)

    YouCam
    Original Version 2.0.2519
    Original Version 2.0.2816
    (FYI: You can install 2816 without having 2519, but from my experience if you do, you will loose some of the cam effects)

    Others with newer units may have more current software but this is the current final result we show after using the Cyberlink Update feature:

    YouCam - 2.0.2816
    Power2GO Express - 5.6.4607
    Power2Go - 5.6.4607
    PowerDirector - 6.50.3330
    LabelPrint - 2.20.3229

    Last, if you weren’t already aware, the Cyberlink suite also contains your DVD encoder…. so be careful if you’d like to keep it (i.e. play DVD’s). You could also consider using the newer MediaSmart stuff if you can’t re-install or don’t particularly like the Cyberlink Suite.

    Thanks, this also solved my Win7 issue with the Media Smart DVD. Now everything plays the way it should
