Pinnacle Studio 9 will no longer open AVI files

Pinnacle Studio v9 Will not open most AVI files, even one that I built with the same Studio 9. Here is the message I get:

Pinnacle Studio Plus is not enabled for PAL

History: Everything used to work then my hard drive crashed. I had to reformat it. After reinstalling everything from my backup hard drive I had several new problems. Two of them had to do with Pinnacle 9.
1. When opening hfx transitions and attempting to use one, Studio 9 crashes. I found a fix for this after many hours: Delete: C:\WINDOWS\System32\atioglxx.dll
2. Studio v9 Will not open most AVI files

First, I uninstalled studio 9 and reinstalled it.
I purchased the MPEG4 Encoding/Decoding Activation Key with two others for $9.99. That was a waste of money.
I installed the latest DivX codecs (DivX Installer.exe). I also installed DivX521xp2k.exe and PinnacleDV25Codec.exe. No help.
I also tried uninstalling several other programs to no avail.
I need Help. I think my next move will be to reformat my hard drive again, get all the windows updates, and install studio 9 as my first program and see if it works.
