[Crescendo]

Thanks a bunch, Senja! You are now on my list of "people who rock my socks".

While I wait for the full idea of what I should be getting rid of, how do I share a .wav file I made with Sound Recorder? My free geocities account isn't letting me.

I think that should be it, and then go into safe mode and delete the files you checked.

I got a Stealth S80 graphics card.
I put it in the computer.
It said it would pop up saying windows has found new hardware but it didn't.
I went to install anyways and it said I didn't have the required hardware...
Another thing...
THERE WAS NO VIDEO CARD IN MY COMPUTER AT ALL!

I really need help A.S.A.P.
Please post....

No video card? That's freaky. o.o

Alrighty, here's a problem that makes me angry...

Whenever I try to load a .avi file into my Windows Media Player or Movie Maker, it always gives me an error.... Any ideas or links as to a better movie maker or update / plug-ins.

Have you tried loading them in real player? I play my .avi files there.

That's true, but I really want movie maker to work so I can experiment with AMVs @_@;

Whenever something doesn't work on WMP, I fiddle around with settings. That seems to help sometimes.

It might be that the .avi file you're working with is messed up.

Here are some questions that you might want to answer:
(a) Quote the error in question. Things like "Windows give me an error" is not exactly definite.
(b) What's the AVI file? Are you sure of its integrity? Where did it come from?
(c) Try the same AVI file in WINAMP, VirtualDub(.org).
(d) What version of Windows Media Player are you using?
(e) Was the AVI playing before?
(f) Did you do anything to your computer recently?
(g) Does the same AVI play on a different computer?

Here are some questions that you might want to answer:
(a) Quote the error in question. Things like "Windows give me an error" is not exactly definite. In the bottom of the window where it would sya buffering, it says "Error loading Codec" and just plays the sounds but not the images.
(b) What's the AVI file? Are you sure of its integrity? Where did it come from?Downloaded offline and works in other players
(c) Try the same AVI file in WINAMP, VirtualDub(.org).
(d) What version of Windows Media Player are you using?9
(e) Was the AVI playing before?Never played from the start with WMP
(f) Did you do anything to your computer recently?Nope
(g) Does the same AVI play on a different computer?No clue

As for the Movie Maker, it says:
This file cannot be imported.
Make sure that it is a valid file type and that its contents are not corrupt [Insert File Name and Location Here].avi

I'm having a slight problem with Photoshop.

After trying an effect in which you have to change gif color settings (to web, system, etc.), the settings couldn't change. I could change the colors, but the quality of any gif I tried saving was extremely poor.

Here's what I mean:
This is what I was trying to do. Now that I look at it, it's really ugly...anyway, this is what happens now, when I revert back to the original settings I used before trying the above:

It looks like it was saved in Paint.

Anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

Find a free hosting site. Myself, I use 250free.com, but there are many others.

First of all, if you didn't have a video adapter in your computer, your PC wouldn't even be booting to give you those errors.

When it a window pops up saying that your operating system detected new hardware, then it did detect new hardware. In order to make the device work, you need to install the drivers. Otherwise, the device will not function properly.

Alright, now I got the error here!

The file [LOCATION OF FILE] cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again.
