Hi Graham, thanks for your help. I'll post what number the programs are. I
have Windows XP Professional. I was able to figure out how to drag the movie
into Windows Movie Maker, but when I play it nothing comes on the screen. (I
had to put it on the hd first) I think maybe I should buy WinDVD 7. Thanks
again.
Anyone else have any ideas?
