>Hi to all. I have a CD ROM of .MOV files of short movies
>I shot on an Olympus C-310 digital camera. They play
>fine in Quicktime media player Ver 6.5 when I open them
>directly from the CD, but if I drag and drop, or copy and
>paste them into a folder on the hard drive, the copies
>won't play. When I try to open them, I get this error
>message: "Couldn't open the file '********.MOV' because
>the file was not found", (I am not trying to open the
>ones on the CD). If I try to open the files without the
>CD ROM in the drive, I get the dialog box with the
>message, "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a
>disk into drive D:." with three buttons - Cancel,Try
>Again and Continue. If I click on any of the buttons
>nothing happens. The box just stays there. There is no
>target path information if I go to properties of the
>files. Does anybody have any ideas about how I can
>change or check the path to see if that helps? I have re-
>installed Quicktime, and deleted and recopied the MOV
>files back to the C: drive. I have opened Windows
>Explorer and gone to Tools> Options> File Types
>tab> "New" button and added MOV file type.

>Does anybody know of any other media players that I can
>try that would play MOV file types? Windows Media Player
>9.0 won't play them either, but I don't believe it should.
