I have imported my video to the movie maker but after I dragged an item to
the timeline, the box turned Green, why?

=================================
Maybe the video clip is not fully compatible
with Movie Maker or you may need to update
your video driver. Scroll down for info on both
issues:

Try reducing your Graphics Hardware Acceleration
as per the instructions in the following article.

(272193) PI: How to Troubleshoot
Graphics Issues
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=272193
(scroll down to:
Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP)

If it improves the issue, you need to search the
support website of your Video adapter's mfg. for
an updated video driver.

FWIW...reducing the graphics hardware
acceleration may not the actual *fix*...it
is merely a way of testing to see if your
Video Driver needs to be reinstalled or
updated.

I would suggest that you go to the support
website of your video adapter's mfg. and
search for drivers.

If you don't know the make and model of
your video adapter...check the documentation
that came with the computer.

Also you could try these steps...
Go to...Start / Run...type...
msinfo32 ...press enter.

On the System Information screen...choose...
Components / Display...

You should find the make and model of your
display adapter as well as the driver version.

If the driver on the support website is more
current than the one you are running...
download it and install it. Also, installation
instructions which should be closely followed
should be available at the support site.

Once the new video driver is installed...you
can reset your Acceleration to Full.
