Editing Project in Movie Maker

So I've been working with Movie Maker since the beginning of XP, and I've
never had this problem until Vista so something's up.
My project will periodically refuse to play, i.e. the timeline won't play.
This occurs when either I add another clip to the timeline, when I add a
transition, or when I quit the program and enter in later. I hit the play
button and nothing happens. It is not frozen because I can still play other
clips, just not my timeline or anything on my timeline: music, effects, video
clips, titles, etc. I have to delete half my project to get the timeline to
play, which gets really annoying when you're working on something for four
hours and you have to erase and re-do half your work.
Please help.

Re: Editing Project in Movie Maker

It is likely that your source files are of a type that WMM does not like.
For example, my sources are .vob files which I convert to .wmv files for
import into WMM. You can get better advice at this web site:
