This is a weird one. Or maybe it's not...I don't know.
Okay, some time ago, for no apparent reason, the player inside Movie Maker
stopped working. It literally will not do anything. Sometimes it sort of
flashes a bit if that makes any sense (not the area where the video would
play but the words, etc). This obviously makes the program useless.
I tried several things to fix it, and nothing worked. I cannot remember
everything I did because it's been so long ago. Wish I could tell you but I
can't. Finally gave up.
Then another weird thing. About a year ago I purchased a laptop with XP pro
on it. Windows Movie Maker won't work on it, either! Very strange. It does
the same thing..the player within the program will not work.
The laptop is strictly business. The only software the two computers share
would be FireFox, IE and the basic stuff that comes with XP, Open Office, and
I believe that's all.
Today I tried downloading WMM 2.0 from CNET, and installed it only to find
no improvement. And it appears installing it removed 2.1 as well.
When it comes to "real movies", I go to my friend's place who has all the
latest stuff on Mac. I just want to use WMM to slice and dice MPEGs and AVIs
I find on the net, that's all. I did it for years with no problem.
It should be worth noting that WMM never worked on the laptop, even when it
was fresh out of the box. I find it strange that they exhibit the same
problem.
