Graham,
thanks for your help, howver no luck. I checked the versions of the files
in the moviemaker folder and they are all showing the correct version as per
your web pae (its a great web site by the way)
I am reluctant to fiddle around with the firewire drivers whilst I can use
muvee to download the videos. The last thing I want to do is stop that from
working as well!!
It also seems to me that because muvee is working its unlikley to be a sp
driver problem anyway
I guess I will put it down to some weird glitch in movie maker on this
particular laptop and live with it
thanks
