Steve,

Do not waste your money on Vista as the movie maker and DVD makers do not
work. The movie maker will only recognize AVI format and if you do any
editing then it crashes. Also, if you try to publish your finished work as a
film then the entire screen turns white and the movie maker shuts down and
then comes back up with all your work gone. You would be better off getting
Windows XP for the office as it does not have any bugs in it. I used it for
over 20 years with no problems. Hope this helps.

Yeah man I remember first using XP in 1988! It ran really well on my
286-12, 1 meg RAM, 40 meg hard drive box with hercules mono graphics and
amber monitor!

Wow... used XP for 20 years? That's a new record! We're not talking "dog
years," are we?

And MPEG and WMV...

and if you do any editing then it crashes.

What's the fault bucket data on that?
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#bucket
*Most* crashes should be in third party codecs/filters, since while it can
be difficult to track down every odd bug, crashes are pretty easy to find
and fix. If you're hitting a *crash*, that's probably likely to be easily
fixable. Post up the crash data. =)

Also, if you try to publish your finished work as a
film then the entire screen turns white and the movie maker shuts down and
then comes back up with all your work gone.

The implication again here is that something is awry with your system.
Given that you're already hitting a crash, this is likely an extension off
the same crash. That crash data would be key, and supplying it could lead
to whatever issue you're hitting being resolved.
