I have copied a .wp3 file onto my new Vista operating system computer. Is
there anyway I can view this photo file with Vista or can it only be viewed
with XP?

==================================
The freeware PhotoStory 3 project files
are in the .wp3 format. If you download
and install PhotoStory 3 you should be
able to open the .wp3 file by double left
clicking it.

Once the file is open...you can advance
through the various screens...Next / Next /
until you reach the "Save Your Story" screen.
On this screen if you click Next one last time
the project will be saved as a movie in the
..wmv format.

BTW...PhotoStory 3 will run on Vista.

Thank you John! I was hoping you would respond to me with an answer. I read
some of your other postings and felt confident you would be the man with the
answers. I will give it a try. Thank you again.

It worked beautifully!! I was finally able to view my second graders photo
file. Now I have yet another photo file from a different teacher in a
different format. I don't even know what it is, therefore I am unable to
view it. The copied file came in a folder with Video and Audio files. When
I view properties of Audio, the folder is "empty." The Video file has
several file extensions like BUP, IFO and VOB. Any help you can offer with
my limited information provided would be grateful.

Thanks again.

Hi *Melissa* this sounds like a DVD movie that will play on your DVD
player. It is normal for the audio folder to be empty, you will still
have sound. If you can't play this on your computer using WMP try
downloading VLC player at the following site.
'VLC Media Player - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET
Download.com'
(http://www.download.com/VLC-Media-Pl...-10267151.html)
It is a very good player and the price is right *free*.
The BUP file is a backup of the IFO file on a DVD, which contains the
information about the organization of tracks, menus, chapters, subtitles
on the disc

Excelent! Thanks for the update.

Your BUP, IFO and VOB files were
copied a Video DVD.

If you have a DVD Burner and DVD
authoring software you might want to
try using the files to create a DVD.

I agree with dbknox that VLC player
would be worth a try for playing the
VOB files. Also there are some options
at the following site:

Info on DVD Decoders:
Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
http://tinyurl.com/j9e29
or...
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...r/plugins.aspx

In some cases you can rename the
VOB files with the .mpg extension and
they might play in Windows Media Player.

Thank you both for all of your assistance. I will try burning the DVD first
- that sounds the easiest for me for starters and than go down your list of
suggestions if needed. I truly appreciate the help from both of you.

Regards,
Melissa
