I just got the CD from Smit-dog today and the still photos are absolutely great- brings back memories.
Now the problem I can not open any of the movies I get the message
"MMSYSTEM281 This file could not be played. Check the filename or install a driver that supports this type file"
Any ideas to help? since I wiped this computer clean and started over in windows 98SEC I have found a few glitches :think:

I can open nearly any video file by dragging and dropping it onto RealPlayer or Winamp. It even works with Quicktime if I right-click and save as, then drag & drop.

Wow, that was quick! I mailed them out about 1pm on Saturday, and the post office closed at 1:30pm.

What video file types can't you play? Any of them? WMV, MPEG/MPG, MPS?

I'd start by getting the latest Windows Media Player here:

You'll probably have to do what smit says and update to the latest Windows Media Player. That should do it.
