Welcome to the forums, sorry about the delay in getting a response to your problem....
I can't find any reference to this Corel Guide Menu on Corel's website. It must be something put together by the camera manufacturer. All of those programs have one thing in common, the SE on the end. That stands for Special or Simple Edition. These are watered down freebies often included with some sort of hardware, like camcorders, cameras or video capture cards. They are like having a non-expiring trial version.
The problem with these SE versions, they are also tweaked by the hardware manufacturer to work specifically with their hardware. They lack all the features or functions of the full paid-for versions.
Intervideo no longer exists as a company. Shortly after it purchased Ulead, Corel purchased it. WinDVD was a product of Intervideo. DVD MovieFactory is a product of Ulead. So it appears that your disc contains some older versions, which may not function correctly on Vista machines. Could you elaborate on what those versions are? The current releases are WinDVD9, DVD MovieFactory6, and as for the DVD MovieMaker, I'm not sure, as I've not heard of it...
Sometimes the hardware manufacturers have a place on their website to handle issues with the included software.
