When I launch VideoWave 8, none of the on screen options work. Example; when I click on "add photo/video" under Add Content, nothing happens. In fact, VideoWave locks up until I change the windows focus to something else and the back to VidoeWave.
I have run the repair on EMC without success.
I am running on a Dell 1.9ghz with 1 gb of memory.
Suggestions?

Are you running DirectX 9.0 and will the MX400 even use it?This could be the problem.

I have the same problem but I am using a very old computer. I cannot run VideoWave 8 or MyDVD 8.
GeForce 2's used to be good, but MX versions are always worse. It could be that your videocard is simply not good enough (like mine).
Other than that, I would make sure to get the latest DirectX version (9.0c) and most recient drivers for your card/chip.
Click HERE to go to the NVidia driver archive page. The Driver your looking for is one titled "Windows XP/2000 32-bit". The ones at the top of the page are the most recient, however some people have been having problems with the 90 series drivers so you might want to try the 80 series ones instead, specifically: Version 84.21.

You can get DirectX 9.0c from Windows Update or from here: Link

Good luck with your card. If these don't make it work then it might be time for an upgrade...

Looks like you are correct. I have updated to the latest DirectX and downloaded the 84.21 driver following the instructions from nvidia. No luck, in fact VideoWave just crashes now.

Thanks for the advice.

Actually I am using a slower machine than you with the exact same video card-

p4 1.4 ghz
512 mb
20 gb hard drive
geforce 2 mx 400

Video wave runs fine, and it transcodes fine. However, it performs very sluggishly.

Is this the Box version or the downloaded version? Did you install the Content CD? I did read that there was a difference in using the Content CD with the box version. I know that you get more templates after installing the Content CD... after the reboot of course... you might drop by here and look at some of these proposals: http://forums.support.roxio.com/index.php?...c=6062&st=0

Be Blessed!

DRD, I have old eyes. Change that goofy font you are using, please. LOL

I seem to have made some progress by loading an old version of the driver. I loaded the 4.53 version and atleast now the menu options work. I will play with some actual video tomorrow.
