Zimbo, Great news finally the problem has been corrected. Pinnacle had me uninstall Pinnacle Studio Plus 9 one more time (5 so far) and then delete all traces of both Pinnacle (including Smartsound) and Quicktime (not Quicktracks) and do a full reinstall. Seems the problem was the Quicktime upgrade to Version 7. When you install Pinnacle is loads its own version 6.0.1. It works fine with that version. I must have updated Quicktime and that screwed up the smart sound. Thank you guys for jumping on this problem so fast as I just had found your forum and that was my first question. I am really impressed , though you did not solve my problem, it was just a matter of time with all your recorces. Thanks again.
