I am running Movie Maker 2.6 on Windows Home Premium 7, 64 bit.

When I add titles and credits to video, the text is very pixelated and poor
quality. I have tried to change some of the settings, but nothing seems to
work.

Can anyone help me??

Thanks, Geoff

========================================
The display resolution is reduced when viewed from
the Timeline/Storyboard...this will not affect your
completed project (especially noticable when viewed
fullscreen).

If your saved video files are not the resolution you
require...you may need to use a Custom Profile:

Personally, I find the following .wmv profile to be
useful when saving movies.
SlideShow-1024x768WMV9

Download from the following site...

Movie Maker 2 - Saving
Movies - Custom WMV Profiles
http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-SavingMovies-CustomProfiles.html

Right click / Save as...drop it in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\Shared\Profiles folder

For Vista...here's the path to the correct folder:
C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\Shared\Profiles
(you'll have to Create the Profiles folder if it's not there)

In Movie Maker...the next time you save a movie...
Go to File / Save Movie file / Show More Choices /
Other Settings / Open the drop window and choose...
SlideShow-1024x768WMV9
