Unexpectadly uits and no compatibillity tab?

[Guest]

I downloaded Matroska codec so I could play a certain anime. I couldnt play
the anime without it. But then I convert it to avi but still need the codec
and try to import to moviemaker it works. But then I add music to the
timeline and movie maker unexpectadly quits on me just shuts down
So then I look it up to see the problem and see that I have to turn off that
codec in the compatibillity tab. But heres where it goes wrong! There was no
compatibillity tab. It seems I overwrote windows moviemaker 2.1 with movie
maker 2.0 which doesnt have the tab back when I was trying to fix it without
reading and redownloading it.
So I cant overwrite it to 2.1 because that comes in service pack two but
since this computer is brand new it came with service pack to already
installed so I cant re-install it so im stuck with version 2.0 which keeps
shutting down because i cant turn off the stupid codec cus theres no
compatibillity tab....

rename the codec file as I do on my Problem Solving > Crashes and Hangs
page... if you know the codec file name, it's easy. That effectively takes
it out of the picture when you use MM2... rename it back and forth as you
need to.

I did that but then when I tried to add the avi to the timeline it wouldnt
show it...and I need both the video and the music...but they wont work
together X_X

I guess it's best to convert the avi file to another one, using a codec that
will work in Movie Maker.
