When I go to export an AVI in Rad Tools' software (BINK),
I recieve an error. On their webpage it states:

an "Error creating the output AVI file" message when
converting one of my files to an AVI. This message means
that Windows failed to create the new AVI file. This can
happen for one of the following reasons:
1) You are trying to create a file on a read-only device
like a CD-ROM.
2) You are trying to create a file in a directory where
you have insufficient file rights.
3) You don't have enough disk space to create the new
file.
4) If none of the other problems are the cause, then that
usually means you have a corrupted Windows multimedia
subsytem. This happens when either:
your machine wasn't originally setup with any multimedia
functions at all (older Win98 installations have this
problem)
one of the Windows codecs is corrupted and is preventing
Windows from creating any AVI files.
If you have this unfortunate problem, then the only
solution that we have heard to be successful is a re-
installation of the operating system.

Any other program I have can export AVIs fine.
Reinstalling my OS should not be an option then. Anyone
have any ideas?
 
Greetings --

Since this software is not made by Microsoft contacting the company who does
make it will get you better support.
 
I tried that, no answer yet. I figured I'd try here b.c the company
suggests that a codec would be corrupted or a corrupted Windows
multimedia subsystem.

How would I know if that is my problem and if so, how could I fix it?
