Hello again.

When I got my Windows 7 laptop, I installed WMM 6 from my old Vista machine because the W7 version is all but useless. So, I would really like, nay, NEED to do the same now I've got a Windows 8 laptop. I'm hoping this is possible.

I still have the files from my Vista laptop and the downloaded dlls from the Seven Forum, so my obvious question is - is it possible and is it exactly the same process as laid out in the Seven Forum?

I have done a search here, but it's turned nothing up, although I'm sure I had read a thread on it a few weeks ago :think:.

My laptop is a 64-bit, Windows 8.1.

Hope you can help and many thanks for reading.

OK - I've done it but it hasn't worked.

The program is there and it loads, but I can't import AVIs and edit them.

The dlls didn't seem to work when I installed them, so I suspect that's the problem.
