Ok, I cannot get the Buz software to completely install because I
can't remove the Active Movie from Windows. I did a manual delete, of
all Active Movie files, but that didn't do it; must be some hidden
files also, and had to reinstall Windows 98 again. Isn't there some
way to remove the Active Movie from Windows? I think this would solve
my problem.

Regards;
Pete Ross

Hi. If you find out, let me know. Active Movie is interfering with the
installation & use of MGI Videowave software. Using a Kodak DVC323
quickcam on the PC.
Thanks,

Here is a batch file I made to remove ActiveMovie, you
need to run it from DOS as Windows will not let you
remove some files...

if exist c:\windows\inf\amovie.inf del C:\Windows\inf\amovie.inf
if exist c:\windows\system\amov4ie.inf del c:\windows\system\amov4ie.inf
if exist c:\windows\system\mciqtz32.dll del c:\windows\system\mciqtz32.dll
if exist c:\windows\system\actmovie.exe del c:\windows\system\actmovie.exe
if exist c:\windows\system\amstream.dll del c:\windows\system\amstream.dll
if exist c:\windows\system\devenum.dll del c:\windows\system\devenum.dll
if exist c:\windows\system\mciqtz.drv del c:\windows\system\mciqtz.drv
if exist c:\windows\system\vidx16.dll del c:\windows\system\vidx16.dll
if exist c:\windows\system\quartz.vxd del c:\windows\system\quartz.vxd
if exist c:\windows\system\quartz.dll del c:\windows\system\quartz.dll
if exist c:\windows\help\amovie.hlp del c:\windows\help\amovie.hlp

Delete the following files from Win98 or Win95

amovie.inf/amov4ie.inf
amovie.ocx
mciqtz32.dll
actmovie.exe
amstream.dll
devenum.dll
unamie.exe/unam4ie.exe
mciqtz.drv
vidx16.dll
quartz.vxd
amovie.hlp
amovie.chm


You may also have to delete the file "quartz.dll".
