Please stay with me, I really do want to get this up and going.
Thanks for the reply, I clicked on your link, but there's what looks like three versions of MyFilms.
1. Which one or one's do I need?

Here are my choices for:
AMCUpdater_v0.6.1.0_Binaries_Win32.zip Mirror 747459 287 i386 .zip
AMCUpdater_v0.6.1.0_Binaries_x64.zip Mirror 1038323 18 IA64 .zip
AMCUpdater_v0.6.1.0_Source.zip Mirror 751247 29 Platform-Independent Source .zip

I use Windows XP Home Edition 2002 with SP2 (I will be upgrading to SP3 today)


2. Should I download Filmerit and run it?


In your post with the link to XP\Vista known issues, there is a problem with chipsets and other hardware problems.
3. How do I find out all this information on my Dell Inspiron 5100?
4. Can I print that information out?

AMC Version 3.5.1.0 - Complete package with installation (recommended) first thing in the download page.

The other bits are my signature, with links to specific things that may help if you have a problem.

Personally if it was upto me everyone should run filmerit, prior to MP install, would stop the problems relating to filters that show up after LOL, only joking, but no harm running it just to make sure no errors

Won't be the first time someones sig has been misinterpretated as the answer and definately will not be the last , anything we can help with just ask.

Paranoid Delusion,

I have installed AMC Version 3.5.1.0. Very Nice!!!

1. But I was asking about which Version of AMCUpdater I should get. Could you look at permalink #3 again, Please.

2. I will download Filmerit and run it.

3. I figured out how to do what I asked in questions 3 and 4 in permalink #3.

Thank You

You probably want the first one as you are using appear to be using a 32bit version of Windows XP Home Edition.

Default UnZip AMCUpdater to where?

1. Does anyone know where I unzip AMCUpdater too?
2. Is there a certain place it is suppose to go?
It does not install itself and I cannot find any documentation on where to put it.

You can unzip the folder where ever you want. I have mine in \Program Files. It does not have to go in the same folder as AMC.
