This is happening because Movie Maker was not designed to capture analog
signals. It was designed and works best with firewire but you do have some
options.
You can capture using the Conexant software or you can purchase a digital
pass-through unit such as the Dazzle80. With this unit you hook the analog
camera up to the dazzle using your analog cables and the dazzle is hooked to
a USB port on your computer. This way Movie Maker is actually capturing a
digital signal instead of analog and should work. Don't ask me why using USB
this way works but hooking a digital camera direct to USB usually doesn't
because I have no idea I just know it to be true.
