Can't launch Movie Magic
Posted: Apr 13, 2015 5:19 pm
Hi,
Hoping someone can help me, as Write Brothers technical "support" has not been able to and doesn't seem interested in trying.
I used MMSW on a Windows 7 computer before and it worked fine. Tried installing it on my new Windows 8, 64-bit laptop and it won't launch -- the best I get is the hourglass for about 2 seconds and then nothing. So far I've tried:
-- Uninstalling the program from my disc and installing the program from the website, and
-- Installing the driver on the website for 64-bit computers, and
-- Adding MMSW to Data Execution Prevention tab on properties, per tech support, and
-- Turning off my firewall and tried the whole thing all over again.
-- Installing another program (not related to MMSW) to see if it launched and it does, which makes me think it's not a problem with my computer.
I think that's it, though I might have forgotten something. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
