Pinnacle Studio does not recognize SP2 in XP Home Edition

First off, I know Windows XP is out of date so please don’t bring that up. That is not the problem.

I had to reinstall my Windows XP Home Edition on a new Mother Board. I used an extra Windows XP SP2 CD which had I never used. Then I installed SP3. I then loaded all of my programs including Pinnacle Studio Plus v 9.4. However, Studio Plus will not complete a DVD. It worked fine before I had problems with the previous MB but now, after going through the whole rendering and compiling functions it simply says Failed to Compile Disc.

Ok, so, I have had an update CD to update to Studio Plus v11 but had never used it. I thought perhaps if I run the update CD it will solve the problem but when I try to run the v11 update it says I need to update to SP2 for Windows XP. As I have said, I used an XP SP2 CD to install Windows and then I updated to SP3 before I even began to reinstall my programs.

I contacted Pinnacle but they have been taken over by Corel and they are not able to help with anything older than Studio Plus v16. I think it’s an intelligence problem.

Can anyone offer any assistance?

Once you install SP3, make sure you apply all the updates found on Windows update. Your PC will need to be restarted numerous times.

Hello Alabalcho
There wasn't anything wrong with my install of SP3 for XP. After I wrote about my problem I did a little searching and found a workaround provided by Pinnacle. They instruct the user to copy the entire Studio 11 CD to a folder and then download a small program titled "WelcomeSP3.exe" installed in the root directory of Studio 11. Once installed in the root directory I simply double click on "WelcomeSP3.exe" and Studio 11 Update installs from the HD.
