Non-starter for Newbie

[millreef]

Hi grgnbeers,
I gave up, but I've since installed Linux Mint and Avidemux works on that!
I haven't studied it much yet, though.
Good luck,  millreef

You can't install 2.5.6 from Sourceforge on a Pentium 4, XP Pro? Anything in Event Monitor?  Any way you can unpack the archive to a temp folder?

If you have Zonealarm installed: other users reported issues with this program: uninstall it, disable would not do.

My goodness - thank you all three above!! I will follow all suggestions, although I do not really follow the one about event monitor (sorry guys, I will research what it is) and also how to unpack the archive to a temp folder. What archive? Unfold=put into? Install?
Please have patience with humble me, I do try....
