Pinnacle Studio 10.5 - Crashes - Blue Screen of Death

I’m trying to edit some video, and on a recommendation I’m having a play with Pinnacle Studio with a view to buying it.

I’ve installed the trial version 10.5, but it keeps crashing, I can only do so much before it bombs out with a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death for the uninitiated!).

If anyone has any ideas/recommendation/whinges - please shout. I love the interface, but stability is abysmal!!

I’ve done some reading, and version 11 seems to be more stable for some people - but can I really warrant £60-£90 on a product that some people rave about and others hate?
