Hello - thanks for the replies and moderation. I didn't know which forum to use. I'm using XARA 3d maker 7. I have it on another computer and it works fine. I've deleted, rebooted and reinstalled with the same problem. Yup I use "save". I tried avi and cfx to then use in Movie Edit Pro plus. Sadly no success. I imported the same files from my other PC created by the same programme and they both worked fine. Something is stopping my programme from saving on my desktop PC. Mike
I have similar problems with Magix 3D Maker (2009) as I only use it now to update my copyright logo each year and this year it immediately came up with a error message... Failed to export to 'C:\User\orgas\AppData\Local\temp\.X3D26E9.tmp' and then - Failed to save to file 'D:\Jim's photos\downloads & work images\test sample.gif' It even refuses to export a old .X3D to gif format... So what is a fix for this as I cannot get my copyright logo gif file to "stamp" my images this year... yes I am getting on and have slowed down, I am near 75. any help is appreciated, thanks.
