Viewing MovieMaker videos

[Guest]

I have XP, but would like to send movies to ppl who have 98SE. Can you only
view movies in Windows Media Viewer 10 or is there a way for ppl with 98SE to
view them? If so, can you tell me how to open up the movies for viewing so I
can pass it on.
Thanks!

It saves them in WMP v9 format. Folks with 98se can download v9 from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/default.asp

Thank you. However...

Can you tell me why their computer keeps freezing when they try to open it up?
They have WMP 9 and even tried opening it on their external drive which has
tons of storage. What are they doing wrong??

If you use the latest WM9 codec this could cause the trouble, try
downloading windows media encoder and in there you can choose back to
version 7 codecs, so by trying the old V9, V8 and V7 you should find one
that works!!!!
