Ok, you seem to have sent me the Windows movie maker file, you didnt export it, thats why it is so small.
In movie maker Press Ctrl+M to export it.

Thanx, hivetyrant! I dindn't even know I had a movie editor. Mebbe I should pay more attention to what goodies windows has instead of just bashing on windows... hmmmm.

A lesson in humility

"Goodies"? A mundane movie editor, a crappy email client, a bearable IM client, a browser wannabe (that can't handle PNG files or non-extremely-basic CSS), two very basic text editors, an even more basic word processor, a decent audio/movie viewer (*if* you can find the right codecs; and it doesn't have any OGG codecs AFAIK), an alright image viewer (which again has problems with PNGs), an extremely crappy picture editor, a hopeless firewall, two rudamentary FTP clients (ok, ftp is an OK program; WinExplorer FTP isn't), a Sun JAVA clone that saw MS in court, a popup message service noone much uses, at least two constantly running web servers, a realy poor archiving utility, a really annoying text-to-speach engine ("Dialing dot dot dot Connected to remote server period"), a fairly basic scientific calculator, a seemingly pointless magnifier, some minor networking capabilities, a replacement for the keyboard 90% of computers won't boot without, an mundane tool for automagic updates, a disk space free-er that rarely clears more than a few MB, capabilities for mid-90's CD burning, a Program Compatibility utility that is only needed because of MS's delay in moving to a multi-user OS, a fancy method of copying one single folder onto another media, a disk defragmenter that barely works, a "registry" so unstable and inaccesable that it requires another utility to back it up, a hard to use task scheduler, some very frustrating games, and about a million ways for other things to be installed (and have unrestricted access to potentially sensitive data) without your permission or knowledge.
I think I'll stick with bashing on it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

LOL! I hadn't used Windows in so long for anything besides the occasional video game that I'd forgotten about the fun times I used to have with the Registry, trying to restore backups & the like. So fun I almost killed myself ...

Last time I seriously did anything with Windows was getting my MCSE -- wanted to kill myself then, and still do when I remember that I've got the thing [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

XP does have a decent System Restore utility; have instructed my users to run it many a time -- or have done so myself on their machines -- with success. The fact that it automatically makes a backup image daily is key.
