General Access Error

[Guest]

When I start Windows Movie Maker
It doesn't start
instead it gives a "general access error"
What can I do to fix this?
btw until recently it still worked fine

Thanx

=============================
You fail to mention your OS...if you are
running Vista...disregard the following.

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

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.
