Video clips make program crash

[Dave]

DMO stands for "*D*irectX *M*edia *O*bject". You can find technical 
information on this type of object in the MSDN, including this article

In sum, I would say you do have some sort of codec problem on your 
machines. Can't say more, I rarely deal with E-Prime anymore.
