Windows Movie Maker

[Martim]

I hope someonw can help me.

I started using the movie maker on XP and everything was going perfectly for
hours. I was working on it for about 6 hours, always saving the project of
course. Suddenly i was adding an AVI (movie) file to the project and it shut
down completely. I went to the project that i had saved last and opened it
and it is now impossible to edit. Everytime i press anything to edit the
project it closes straight away. I tried creating a new project and the same
thing happens, i manage to add some film and pics but then suddenly it closes.

What can I do?

thanks

============================
Open Movie Maker and go to...Tools /
Options / Compatibility tab...uncheck
all the filters / OK. If that helps...don't
reimport the .avi file...it's apparently not
compatible.

If you still have the issue...it may be worth
a try to do a system restore to a time before
the issue began.

try deleting the source file that you last added, the avi one, as it is most
likely not compatible and may be casuing the problem.
