Hi Matt
Have just received your email with regard to Photo story 3 for windows.
I was very interested in it. Would I have to download previous No 1 or 2 to be able to use this program to its full potential?
Thanks for the question Joy
This is version 3 - obviously there was originally a version 1 & 2. You do not need an earlier version to download and install version 3 and use it's full features
And of course it is completely free - Thanks Microsoft!
The program will work very well without any other paid software. You do not need to pay for the DVD burning plug-in referred to in the article ($20US for the plug-in - you can get Nero for that!). Most CD/DVD burning programs will burn the discs - there are free ones like DeepBurner if you don't have Nero/Roxio or similar
The link to the download site in the original email/article does not work - it's out of date
Here are a couple of links that do work:
Microsoft Link
Download.com
If you go to the MS link you will need to prove you have a valid copy of Windows XP to download the grogram but not at Download.com
The program is just over 5mb in size so even on dial-up it won't take that long to download. Note this program is only for Windows XP
If you have Win 95/98/ME - sorry
If you have Vista then Windows Movie Maker incorporates all the functions of Photo Story
Last but not least check out this site www.windowsphotostory.com
It has lots of detailed step by step guides on how to use Photo Story
I'd forgotten but I used this when I made my project and it is really well made and helpful
Good luck with the Movie Making!
