Crashing Problems with Windows Movie Maker

[Guest]

Today i decided to start working on a video with Windows Movie Maker.
I am using Windows Movie Maker 5.1, and i worked for about 2 hours on the
video
and i had no problems at all. I got my video up to 3 minutes long and i had
over 20 clips on the timeline, i tried to add another clip (this clip was no
different than the last 5 i added, it was even part of the same video) to the
timeline, and then Windows Movie maker crashed. I received no error message,
it just closed. The file format i am using is AVI (Which i am sure is
compatible because it worked for the first 20 clips). I thought at first
maybe it was just bad luck and something small happened, so i tried again,
and the same thing happened. So then i decided to try to add a DIFFERENT
clip, so i added a clip that i had added into the movie earlier that had
worked fine, and it still crashed. So that tells me its not a compatability
problem...
--------------
Also, perhaps this would help you in helping me with my problem - When i am
re-loading my video after the crash, the DiVXCodec taskbar icon just keeps
appearing and disappearing, as if it was closing/opening over and over again,
and after the video is fully loaded, there is no DivXCodec icon on the
taskbar. But there are THREE other identicle codec icons there instead...
Shouldnt there only be one icon?

Ah, wait, i have some more information i need to add, and some information i
need to change, heh. I said i have Windows Movie Maker 5.1 (but that doesnt
even exist.)
Im using Windows movie maker 2.1, i was reading a little fast and i saw
'version 5.1' in the about box so i just assumed thats what i had.
Also, i am using Windows XP.

Well, i just tried disabling the DIVX Filters, and it has stopped the
crashing, unfortunately... it has also ruined the quality of my video.
