Movie Maker Error Message

[Piper]

Hello,

I have a new PC that was delivered with XP home pre-installed. I'd like to
use Movie Maker but when I try to import any audio or video I get the "class
not registered" error message.

I've searched a lot and found the instructions, batch files, and lines
relating to regsrvr32 and have run them all with no joy.

I have media player 10 and nero 6.x installed. Both work at playing anything
that I through at them. Nero even has a similar editing tool that works as
well but I'd like to try out Movie Maker.

Any ideas?

I thought about re-installing Movie Maker but there is no way to do it
without an SP2 install and that was already installed with XP Home on my new
PC.

Any ideas on how to re-install Movie Maker?

Thanks,

Piper

Normally that error is given when you try to use files which are
incompatible with MM. Video files should be dv-avi or wmv only and music
should be wav/wma/wmv stills should be bitmap.

Confirm the file types you are using.

Oh, I see. Doesn't play well with friends.

Funny, I thought if the media player could handle it so would MM. I'm trying
to edit some AVIs that are mjpeg, they came from my still camera.

Do you have any suggestions for an equivalent free editor that works with a
larger set of AVIs?

Thanks,

Piper

The software which came with the camera?
Otherwise look at converting it to wmv format, see this page for some free
software.
