Any ideas how to fix a problem of PC slow down when using my Video Pad software? I have an old HP PC, and use Wndows XP. Everything was more or less ok before I paid for and registered my video pad software. Now my PC slows down to a stuttering crawl whenever I am trying to put some clips together!
