    Graham,

    I tried a small file after the first one shut down MM2 and it also shut it
    down. It seems to be any file made in Photo Story 3 and imported to MM2
    shuts down MM2.

     The first Photo Story 3 was in 1024x768 size and on the second attempt I
    only put 4 pictures together and went with 800x600 with regular transitions,
    so it wasn't very large or complicated.

     The program worked when I first got the computer a month ago but about a
    week ago it started shutting down with any transfer of Photo Story 3 .wmv
    files.

    I have tried to use system restore but my computer wil not restore to any
    earlier date. I think I have to reset it and start from scratch on that. I
    run AdAware se every night to remove any spyware and have Norton Internet
    Securty and anti-virus running with all my definitions up to date. A viral
    scan of my system is negative. I have used these products for years as I have
    MM2, all with Dell computers. My new Dell has a 3.8 p4 processor with 2 gigs
    of RAM.

    Again, MM2 works fine when I capture video from my camera or when I import
    an old movie I made with MM2. Only the importing of PhotoStory 3 shuts it
    down.

    Thank you for your reply and any help will be appreciated.
