If doing a Repair didn't fix the problem and a Search of the whole computer for ''Buttons'' does not find any folders with that name, you may be faced with re-installing the whole program from disk.  Try that and let us know if it worked.

I use my old Sony TRV-210 (Digital 8) camera as a pass-thru device to capture old tapes using Firewire.  Perhaps you can find a cheap camera with pass-through capability on Ebay, if your Dazzle doesn't work.

broderp:  My old camcorder (still works) has S-video out and all the footage is in the Hi-8 format, what ever that is. For what it's worth, Hi8 is the same as S-Video.  Both have 400 lines of resolution (compared to 240 lines for VHS and 500 lines for DV).  Hi8 was used for 8 mm tapes while S-Video referred to VHS tapes.

Slyder01: another Q I have is, I can build the pc, but what about setting it up after the build? how difficult is that. I do know how to format, but dont know about bios. I would suggest that if you are not sure about how best to set up the software, you should strongly consider having someone to do it for you.  You did say you are ...

lixdexik: Hi again. I have used the free converter as suggested and I find that the image is a bit juddery. I shot a trial scene of an oil supply vessel returning into Aberdeen harbour, I set the camera on a tripod and let the ship enter the shot from the right and exit on the left without moving the camera at all. The passage of the ship is ...

lixdexik: It's ok I have answered that last question my self. Amazing what you can find if you look a bit harder.   Cheers Colin.   Colin, Please don't keep us in suspense.  What was the answer that you found by yourself?  

R_Vera:Whenever I start having the BSOD I just reformat my whole computer so I won't be wasting too much time finding the problem. I know it is time consuming in installing all the programs, but its worth it. (this only happens to me once a year...if any) If you take a disk image as a back-up when the computer is in its proper working state (use ...

Great news, xSootyx! We look forward to seeing what the old ''museum'' quality stuff can still accomplish.
