Hi,
I wonder is someone could answer this question:
I downloaded Image Grabber II and installed it on my Notebook and on my two desktops. I have Windows XP SP2 on all three. It works great on the notebook and on only ONE of the desktops.
The desktop I have probel with is where the Imagae Grabber II reads every file type except wmv !!!
Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks you.

What exactly happens when you try to open a WMV file? Can you see WMV files in the File Open dialog? Can you select it and open one? Do you get an error message? Does the error occur with all WMV files or just one that you've been trying? Does the exact same file open on one of your other computers?

Image Grabber opens.
2) Can you see WMV files in the File Open dialog?
Yes. I see all different-type files including the WMV files. If I select an MPEG, or an RM, or an AVI file, it plays it
back and I can capture whatever number of images I want. But if I select a WMV, I can hear the audio, but there
is no picure (Black screen) or the picture is fuzzy with vertical thin lines, or wide horizaontal lines in pink and
green.
3) Do you get an error message?
No, I don't get any messages. And, I can easily close the Image grabber window with no problem.
4) Does the error occur with all WMV files or just one that you've been trying?
Yes. It happens with all types of wmv files. The other types play fine and I can caputure theire frams with no
problem.
5) Does the exact same file open on one of your other computers?
No. My other two PC's are fine.
I am grateful for your help. And, I shall wait till Sunday for more feedback before I re-foramt the C:drive and reload my softwares.
Best regards,

I had the same problem. I had to install the WMV encoder.
