My daughter is using this program to make a dvd for the holidays and it keep locking up on her. She went online for an update to 2.1 version and the only way we can do it is to also update the WINService Pack or some such, which we've tried to do, but keep getting an error message. I dumped all temp files, cookies, etc. to now avail.

Any expereicen , suggestions?

Thanks!

I used Movie-maker about a year ago, didn't have it locking up on me though. I remember it was better to capture movies in small chunks and save each chunk as part of a collection. Then editing & creating movies from the collection.

Re WIN Service pack error message, what did it say? I only had WIN Service pack 1 on the PC when I was sorting movies. Since then Service pack 2 has come out & I should be wary of downloading this one if I were you, lots of people have experienced problems with SP2.

If you have a branded Firewall set up this may interfere with downloading WIN stuff, may be an idea to disable it, then enable the Windows Firewall & then download. Don't forget to always have a firewall enabled when connected to the Net though. You can always disable the Windows firewall & reinstate the regular one after the download.

Apologies if this is too simple a solution or if I'm trying to teach you to suck eggs, not intentional at all!
