PapaJohn- your renaming of the divfax.ax file suggested
on your webpage worked! - THANKS! Now does any other
application need this file?

PS I use Premiere 6.5 to edit my movies, but Moviemaker
runs rings around Premiere 6.5 when it comes to Titles
and Credits
 
Hi Roger,

It might or it might not. Keep it around so you can rename it back - if you
have problems running Divx encoded videos. I have a couple problem codecs
that I have to register and unregister, depending on which software I want
to run.

You'll just have to think about it if and when something doesn't work. The
location of the file would give you a pretty good clue about what uses it,
unless it's in the generic system32 folder.

Premiere won't miss it. I use Premiere 6 and agree with you about the titles
and credits of MM2.

Hallo John,

Thank you very much for your helping pages.
A very good friend of mine is leaving next week to work
in Mozambique for "Mediciens sans Frontiers" and tomorrow
is her "Goodbye party". I made a nice movie with all the
fragments I had and added many photoos. But when I wanted
to save it and make titles MM kept shutting down. I tried
everything I could imagine, removed much software,
downloaded MM2, I even reinstalled Windows XP. But
nothing worked out. Then I started looking in Microsoft
Newsgroups and dropped my problem in there. I received a
reply to look in microsoft.public.windowsxp.moviemaker
(as you also advised), but I could not and still cannot
find this newsgroup. Though I found a video newsgroup and
there I found your answers and URL. I just renamed the
divxaf.ax and everything works again. So I am very
grateful to you.
And so... thanks again, very, very very much!

With kindly regards,

Nell Broekhuizen

PS I think my English is far from correct, but I think
you will understand what I mean.
PS I suppose my English is better than your Dutch, hihihi
PS I send this e-mail with "Post Reply", because the
normal (Outlook Express) e-mail came straight back.
