Windows Movie maker problem

[snackie]

hello there.
to the point. when trying to create a movie. all is well in the begining.
after I add the first video clip, when I add another video clip. an then the
Moviemaker Crash's.
from the first time I had problems I think when I imported a video clip that
was given to me. an when I added it to movie maker. at first was ok. then
after it started not work properly. as in the interface. all the features
went from what is seen when the all is working. then to now the interface is
bare minimal. no transitions an such. well to say after I updated my platform
I got to see my moviemaker as it was. but still won't allow me to add one
more video clip. it crash's. I notice when I updated my platform it also
updated my moviemaker to the new updated 2.1 I have been contemplating on
trying to download the trial version to see if that could fix whatever
happened to the regestry. ughh its madening. I'm wandering if it could be to
do with plugins. I have no experience in this. as I won't load the video that
was on disc. for example I'm wandering if the small video clip could have
been a divx. I still new to this movie maker, its fun an now its a painful
begining.

For starters...

Try going into the menu > Tools > Options > compatibility list and
unchecking all the line items that are checked. Then see if you can work
without crashing.

If it doesn't crash, see which of your imported clips work or not...
