Help! Crashing when using the timeline.

[Guest]

Hello there.

I've been using Movie Maker to make a very simple music video, but have been
havign various problems with it, culminating in having to convert all the
source files into a different format ready to replace the original clips in
order to make it a saveable movie.....

.....However after loading the new colllection, I opened the said project
only to find that whenever I try and play the movie, magnify the timeline, or
even TOUCH the timeline, the whole program crashes and I am left back at the
desktop with no explaiantion. The file has not been altered since the last
time I used it, when previously it was playing fine. I tried playing around
with the timeline with other clips and projects and there seems to be no
problem.

I'm completely stumped. Any ideas?
