HI Guys,

When I installed XP which came with MovieMaker 1, my video camera worked
just fine and could make a few clips. When I upgraded to MM2, as soon as I
select "capture from video device", the program and computer crashes and
machine reboots, It does not give any error message or try to send a message
to MS (as I have disabled automatic error reporting). I have tried playing
with accelration settings but to no avail. I have the manufacturers driver
for my camera and the same works fine with older video software such as MGI
VideoWave III etc. I can still use MM2 to view previous recordings and edit
them but cannot capture from my video device. Any suggestions. BTW I have
been to Papa John's site and windowsmoviemakers.net but could not find any
relevant solution. Any ideas as to what settings I could change or how I can
resolve the issue???

Thanks in advance
 
One thing to consider in the short run is to use both MM1 and MM2 in
parallel, and continue to capture with MM1.

Hi, I took a chance and checked this site... I am having
the exact same problem... I would go back to MM1, but
how?? I can only find MM2 on my machine now...
thanks
 
Running MM1 and MM2 in parallel is as easy as finding a computer that hasn't
upgraded to MM2 yet and copying the main Movie Maker executable. It'll fit
on a floppy disc. Rename it to something like MovieMaker1.exe and put it in
the folder with MM2 and you're all set.
 
Would someone please email me the MM1 executable? My e-
mail is (e-mail address removed) -- Thanks!
