Out with the bad, in with the good

[Guest]

Is there a way to uninstall Movie Maker and then reinstall it? I have Windows
XP Home SP2, and I have the installation disks, but I cannot find a good way
to isolate the Movie Maker program. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Oh,
by the way, my Movie Maker refuses to save a file to a movie version. Thanks.

John,
Are you "PapaJohn?" I went to your site, and indirectly, you solved my
problem...I think. I changed the type of movie to DV-AVI, and it worked
great. Then the miracle happened! I went back to WMV file types, and it's
been working ever since! Thanks for moving my head in the right direction. By
the way, do you have any idea, why it works now. Oh yes, I replaced all the
files in the Movie Maker directory with fresh ones, no help. Thanks again!

No, I'm a Picture It! MVP but try to lend
a hand in this group because it's so busy.
