A problem many users of MM2 have is random crashing of the application. I also had the problem and solved it by setting the Direct X Override to "Default" from "Override Value". To try this yourself, go to: Start>Programs>Accessories>System Information. In System Information, click on Tools, select "Direct X Diagnostic Tool". Select the "More Help" tab and click on the Override box. This will bring you to a dialog box in which you can select "Default" if not already selected. In my system, the Override Value was selected and a value of 60 was in the box. I don't know what this does to Direct X but setting it to Default cured MM2 crashes and everything else works okay, too. Maybe some applications or downloads changed this value because I sure didn't!. I finally finished a video of Christmas 2003 complete with music, titles, credits and a slide show at the end. Burned to two DVD's and family loved it. The grandkids got a kick from seeing themselves on television.
 
Interesting... I checked 2 of my computers. It's a corner that I've never
been in, and the setting on each was 'Default'.

I can't take all the credit for mucking around in Direct X. My oldest son is an XP expert and he thought of it even though he doesn't do video or know the applications. He's a real smart guy and I am thankful he is around to help
