Normally a codec error. check out www.papajohn.org problem solving
acceleration and codecs.
Also, use bitmaps rtather than jpegs which are good in most editing apps.
Just in case you add music, don't bother with mp3's.

I'm trying to use the latest Movie Maker just to string together a series
of MJPEG files from my new camera. Sometimes it takes one operation,
sometimes it takes 10, but Movie Maker constantly shuts down without an
error code or windows error report. I cannot do anything realistically
because adding a new video, effect or transition causes the shutdown.
