Glad to know I'm not alone but this isn't helping me much. We've got a M$ developers license here so the IT guys are married to Windows.

If it would just export a large AVI file I'd be happy. On 28/9/05 12:27 PM, "Mark M.Florida" <markf at squareblue.com> wrote: > Yet another sad tale of the dreaded "PC ignorance".
