Alan2273 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Is it possible to use a laptop as a VDU for my old PC? Otherwise it means I need to undo all of my neat and tidy cablework to the new one. Can't be done. I'm sorry. The circuitry inside the laptop drives the display in a non-standard way -- you can't tap into that signal path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Next question...Has anyone installed/used Windows Live Essentials. I searched for Windows Movie Maker on my new Windows 7 PC - It's not included. :0 It's now part of Windows Live Essentials. I am trying to decide which video/movie creator software to install. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Is it on the DVD? if so you can load it from there, I'm sure there is a movie thing on my laptop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I did something that I doubted would work - but it did.I simply copied my old Windows Movie maker folder from my Vista computer and pasted it into Windows 7 programs folder. It works fine.I also downloaded Windows Live Essentials and tried the version of Movie maker available there. It differs slightly - but is still my favourite video editing program because it is so easy to use.You need to be careful with Windows Live Essentials that you don't download stuff you are not interested in - Windows Messenger in my casae.

It looks as if you can select the programs before downloading - is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
