Afther upgrading from windows 7 to windows 10 i installed Avid studio again.

I get the message that update KB981266 was not installed i could finisch the installation but starting Avid gives the following message

"You upgraded your ios afther installation of Avid Studio was installed. Some or all programmes may not work correct.

E advise you to reinstall Avid Studio"

Afther 5 times reinstaaling en removing Avid Studio i gave up.

Please is there anyone with an answer??

Avid Studio isn't a product I know but unlikley it supports windows 10. I'd roll back to Windows 7. You did save a clone of your install?

Yes i have a clone of the install of  windows 7. So Avid has no solution?

A quick internet search reports:

1) A copy of the Avid Studio manual can be found here:

http://cdn.pinnaclesys.com/SupportFiles/AvidStudio/manuals/AvidStudioManual_EN.pdf

see Equipment Requirements beginning p.ix. NB windows 10 did not exist when the document was written. 

2) Avid Studio is under the Pinnacle unbrella. Their fora URLs begin at:

3) Some interesting product history is in this thread:

http://community.avid.com/forums/t/107401.aspx

4) Avid's solution is don't use windows 10 for its current NLE at least for the present. System requirements for MC 8, the current release include:

• Computer: Avid-qualified Windows-based computer
• Memory: 8GB minimum, 16GB (or more) recommended
• See Feature Performance page for more info.
• Windows OS Compatibility Grid
• Additional Notes:
• Media Composer | Software requires a 64-bit Windows operating systems
• Windows 8.1 Professional and Enterprise
• Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1 only)
• ​PC's with more than 48 cores (including hyperthreading) are not supported at this time.

 Avid Studio is now part of Corel, go to www.corel.com for details.

Good luck,

Ralph

OK, I had the same problem so went looking on the internet for a solution. First of all you have to know that AVID sold AVID Studio to Corel years ago. I still use AVID Studio as it meets my needs and I really don't have a need for or the money for Pinnacle Studio 19. Having said this, here is the solution I applied that worked for me. My Computer is a Dell M6500 I7 laptop with Windows 10 64bit.

If you do not have the CCleaner program download it directly from Piriform at http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download, do not download from other sites. This is a freeware program unless you want more bells and whistles.

STEP 1: The first thing you will need to do is once again uninstall everything, Avid Content, Avid Plug-ins, and Avid Studio.

STEP 2: In Windows 10 open the search bar and type in regedit and open it. Do the following to remove references to AVID from the registry.

Make a backup of the registry first in case you change something unintentional so you can recover.  To do that click on FILE in the upper left corner, click export, name the export, something like registrybackupDATE works for me and save in documents folder

On the left panel of REGEDIT notice the HKEY folders,

now navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER

click on Software

find Avid

delete the Avid folder

minimize the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder

Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and navigate to

click on Software

click on Wow6432node

find Avid

Delete the Avid folder

Exit REGEDIT

STEP 3: Open CCleaner and from the left hand side of the menu panel click on the registry icon.

On the bottom left click "scan for issues" button. Follow the prompts after the scan, make a backup of the registry, and select fix all problems.

Exit CCleaner

Reboot your system

STEP 4: Now you are ready to install Avid but DO NOT OPEN THE PROGRAM AFTER INSTALLATION. Now, install the Avid program, plug-ins, and bonus content that you have validation keys for.

STEP 5: In Windows 10 open the search bar and type in regedit and open it again.

Navigate to HKEY_Local_Machine

click on software

click on Wow6432node

click on Avid

click on Studio 1

In the right panel you will see Key entries, if VersionNT is not listed, right click within the right panel and select new string value, name the string value VersionNT.

Right click on VersionNT and select modify,

Under Value Data enter 601

Exit REGEDIT

Reboot

You are finished

Once your system has stabilized you should be able to open AVID Studio.  If your version of AVID is not 1.1 you will need to run the patch still available from Corel. I hope you have success with this.

I found this solution on the Microsoft Community which referenced Pinnacle Studio 16 and modified it for AVID Studio. It was not until I edited the registry removing the AVID folders and keys that I had success. The uninstall process leaves these folders behind for some reason. Special thanks to YOBECO from his post of Jan 15, 2014 on the Microsoft Community site. If you have Pinnacle 16 go to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-winapps/pinnacle-studio-16-wont-load/fb350298-7de6-4499-a31e-64ee291d457e?auth=1

Hi Ssssssh

Just recently I upgraded from Win 7 to 10 and have this same problem with my Avid Studio V1.1.0.2887 

I am using an x86 HP computer running a Radeon graphics card and would appreciate it if you could confirm your fix will work for me.  I am not a proficient computer maintenance person and although I am confident I could follow your instructions outlined above, it will be troublesome for me and I would be grateful if you could confirm to me that I would not wasting my time.

Cheers,

Warren

As forum member ssssssh has only made 1 post here back in December 2015 and there is no obvious sign that ssssssh owns any current Avid products I think you may have more luck by emailing them directly.  
(If you are logged into these Avid forums you can double click on ssssssh name and select the "Send ssssssh an email" option.)

Good luck. 

..........HP x64 ........that should be!

thank you :)

Well, I eventually took the bull by the horns and 'had a go' at the very explicit instructions Avid Forum Member, 'Shhh........' had left on this thread.

I am happy to say it worked well for me and I thank 'Shhh........ ' most profusely. The instructions, while they appear to be very comprehensive and even complicated are easy to follow (and in retrospect have a failsafe mechanism/saved register file process built in which I did not need).

The only additional problem I encountered (and that which was raised by Shhh........ at the end of his/her post) was that I while started out with Avid Studio 1.1 I ended up at the end of the process with the unpatched 1.0 version that I had originally purchased. This was easily fixed at the end of the process by downloading the patch from Corel (available here/I clicked on the 'Windows 7' one as there is not one for Windows 10: http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/support/avidstudiopatch/?mode=documents&Display=1 ) which when applied, upgraded me to the 1.1 version I had when I uninstalled the program ............... all good and very happy.

There was one quick 'pop up' window referring to the ubiquitus missing Microsoft Update KB981266 mentioned elsewhere but I just over-rode that and proceeded with the process Shhh.......... had documented.

I was a bit worried as while I had the discs for scorefitter 1 & 2 I had purchased 3 elsewhere and took a chance on retaining it in the computer AND it stayed for me ........... that was a real bonus as it contains the scores that I mostly use.

In summery, all happy ............ back to Ver.1.1 and on Windows 10 and everything working (until Windows 10 throws something else at me I guess)

Thank you everyone for your help :)

thank you so much for this post it got me up and runing again with avit stutio

Warren and Hotbear1537 I was pleased to learn both of you were able to regain use of your Avid Studio editor. AdrewAction is correct in stating I do not own any CURRENT Avid products but I do have a legal copy of Avid Studio that I purchased and registered with Avid before Avid sold off studio to Corel.  I currently own Pinnacle 19 and it is OK but I occasionaly have to rely on Avid Studio to perform editing tasks that Pinnacle 19 fails at, such as speed adjustment or reverse play and others. 

The reason I did not reply to Warren's initial inquiry is that the forum failed to notify me of his posts.  It was not until today 2016 09 28 that I received a notification from the Avid community bearing Hotbear1537 reply.

My installation of Avid Studio continues to work on Windows 10 64 bit and has survided the updates Microsoft releases as of this date.  For those of your who have read this far, you can try the Pinnacle forums for information on Avid Studio but as time moves on the user base becomes smaller.  You could also try the D'eclic Vid'eo forum.  There are English and French links.  This is the english link. http://declic-video-fx.com/Home.aspx

You can also contact me but I am no computer expert and only do home videos.  Like Warren I took the bull by the horns and found a way.

Cut, that's a wrap!
