Carey, Adam, Andrew,
Many thanks for these informative and useful answers. I have applied the
suggested Microsoft updates (I am signed up for Windows Update, but I don't
know if I had already got those.) Stability may be a little improved, but I
still had problems with AnyDVD, Movavi, and Moviemaker (though I was trying
to get Moviemaker to edit a VOB file; I'm not sure it really likes those very
much, it seems much happier with WMV). It may be that the file was corrupt,
also.
I'll pursue some of the other suggestions here and report results. Thanks
again for taking the time to pass on your very helpful knowledge/advice about
this.
