Windows Movie Maker Problems

I'm having problems with Windows Movie Maker. "Windows Movie Maker has
encountered a problem and needs to close." Any ideas?

=======================
When does this occur?

Some users have reported problems
after installing IE7. If this applies to your
situation ...uninstalling IE7 may be worth
a try.

This seems to have worked. Maybe it'll fix some of my other software
problems as well.

Hi

Running Win XP Media Centre Edition v2002 SP2 on Dell Dimension E521

Movie maker worked well for a while but now although I can import or read a
file as soon as I try to perform any edit functions the application closes -
there is no error message or warning.

Xp was pre-installed on the Dell when I got it but I do not have original
installation discs - just Dell Blue resource CD and Red Re-installation
DVD - can anyone advise if this will allow me to re-install /Repair movie
maker or any advise on trying to identify and resolve problem.

Some pressure here as I have a video of my daughters wedding that needs
editing and burning to DVD !

I've also seen a report that disabling the
ffdshow codec could be the fix. To accomplish
this...open Movie Maker and go to...Tools /
Options / Compatibility tab...Uncheck...
ffdshow / OK.
