I just spent an entire month dealing with this problem. Animator Studio will do everything else, except it wont play anything. When I hit the play button, all it does is sais "playing" for about a half a second and then stops. I finally fixed the problem by doing a search in File Manager and deleting anything that had to do with AVI or MCI (make sure you have backups of any other programs that deal with video or animation in case you delete a ton of stuff you weren't supposed to). I then reinstalled Animator Studio and it finally worked!!! I dont't know if this was the problem, but I had duplicate drivers (and maybe dll's;anyway it was stuff with crazy extensions) in both my windows directory and my system directory, and probably a few other places. Anyway, I'm sure any technical support person would brown out if they saw this answer, but it worked for me when nobody could get my system running. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!! D. Renneker
