Movie Maker 2, suddenly stopped importing .gif files

Movie Maker cannot be re-installed. If you are not using SP2 then that would
be the best bet to try.

Other things to try:

1. Reinstall latest runtime of DirectX: full install:

2. (Re)install Windows Media Encoder

Reboot as required. If the above two steps do not work, try following:

3. Close all programs and run this batch file:

If even that doesn't help then the only option seems to *re*install Service
Pack 2 (SP2).
