    Windows Movie Maker Error Invalid Pointer

    when ever I try to add a pic to the story board it doesn't do anything just
    acts like i didn't even do it, and when i just try to make an auto movie it
    sais there's an invalid pointer as the error code. I don't know what that
    even means and Never had this problem with XP, i've got a new dell laptop
    with windows vista home premium already installed. with the movie maker that
    came with vista. would appreciate any help.

    them to bitmap. I've got a few bitmaps I saved off the web i'll try those,
    but in the mean time do you know how to convert a jpeg to a bitmap

    Open the JPEG, File > Save As, choose BMP as the file type format from the drop
    down list.

    I am sure there are batch converters available too.

    Do you have a photo editing programme? If so check to see if it has a batch
    function, so you cna change them all in one go.

    If not, check out Irfanview, link here
    http://www.myvideoproblems.com/WebPa...Programmes.htm
    Which will do it for you.
