Is there a viewer for enhanced metafiles in Vista? XP had an excellent "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" which is either missing or unrecognizable in Vista. What do people use? Thanks.

I am having an issue with Movie Maker. I put all my pictures and text frames together just fine. Downloaded my music from my CD's into the Music folder on my PC. When I went to the import audio and imported the song, everything looked normal, the song came up as an mp3 file. When I dragged it down into the timeline there was not any music in the music space. (there is not any tick marks if that...

I often said that there is no such an application that can be defined as all-in-one, or one-step to satisfy all your needs. Take DVD ripper for example, there are DVD ripping software that prevent you from importing DVD videos with CSS or CPPM protection for to fight against copy piracy. This is right, but causes some trouble for users who want to convert DVD videos to AVI, MPEG, and WMV etc....

This is the 2nd time. I tried to start a new thread regarding a question about Windows Movie Maker. I clicked NEW, then entered " Windows Movie Maker " in Subject column. The thread found itself into to my old thread with the SAME subject title. So, 1. NEW means nothing ? 2. I have to avoid using the same title in the subject column ? That does not make sense at all. t-4-2

It's clear that most people cannot edit .mp4 files from their Flip Mino-HD camcorders in Movie Maker. I can, on three different computers in my household -- all except for the lone XP system. All of these computers have different applications installed. I thought I had it figured out. When I plug in the Flip, it installs FlipShare automatically. I have plugged the Flip into two of the...

So I called the Gateway support and was advised to update the Realtek driver, then we updated the Vista stuff and this did not help. So then I...
