Error opening video-files; errormessages: 4-bit or ACM-error with sound???

[boeykenk]

Hi there,

I really hate windows. I had Win98 SE on my PC. I have captured my vacation video
on PC with my RR-G + G400 Max under Win98 SE with Virtual Dub. I have made a
compilation of these small parts of video with Ulead Media Studio Pro 5.02.

Yesterday I have installed Win95 SE (because of green flashes on my TV). I have also
installed Ulead MSP 5.02. When I try to open my project under MSP 5.02 I get some
errors about reading files. But he opens it. When I look at my videofiles I have
used in the project, there are some files that remain black but most of them are
OK.

If I start a new project and I want to import one of the videofiles I was using
in my first project, I get an errormessage (something about 4-bit???). If I try
to open the file with VirtualDub I also get an error (something about ACM-compression
of sound???). Within VirtualDub I can play the movie without sound. If I enable the
sound I'm getting the 'ACM'-error.

What is going on? What can I do to solve this problem? Is there a problem with
the version of my video-drivers? Or are there some codecs missing under Win95 that
were available under Win98?

I was using Win98SE and new I'm using Win95. I have installed Win95 on my D-drive (Win98 was on my C-drive). SO it's a clean installation of Win95.

I'm using the same version of Ulead MSP as in Win98 SE. I don't think I need patches for this software.

The drivers for my videocard are version 5.55 and 1.54 for videotools. For my soundcard, I'm using the same drivers as I was using under Win98 SE.

afaik, you need some special patches for W95 in order to get your system running well.

Don't know which, but I'm sure someone else can help you with that ...

Have you got the latest drivers for your Video card and sound drivers?
Have you checked for patches for your software?
And the big bug bear did you do a clean install of windows 98 or did you upgrade over 95.
