Be sure to download all the Windows Vista Updates including the Optional Updates. The Optional Updates usually include updated video card drivers for Vista. If you do not have "Moving Pictures Available" after you install all of the updates, you may need to update your graphics card driver from the manufacturer's website.
SYSTEM TEST DOWNLOAD
If you would like to test your computer and graphics card to determine if
full motion graphics are supported, follow the download and install instructions
below. The System Test will determine if your computer system and graphics card
are capable of running full motion graphics. If this test says that your full
motion graphics are not available there are three additional steps you can take
to maximize your computer so it may be able to utilize the full motion graphics
in P3ProSwing™ . See the steps for Maximizing Your Computer for Full Motion
Graphics.
