Vista - Windows Movie Maker Won't Play

I used windows movie maker w/o problem. Then after a system update it
stopped working with respect to being able to play videos in preview mode. I
have the following CODECs installed:
AVI Decompressor
ffdshow Vidwo Decoder

I have tried to play:
..WMV
..VOB

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Which version of FFDShow? Many versions are very buggy.

What video card do you have with what driver version?

Thank you.

FFDShow is version 1.0.3.1023.

My video card is an ATI Radeon 9550. With a SAMSUNG Monitor and S-Video to
a television. It has an ATI Driver dated 9/28/2007 version 8.421.0.0

Is there a way to re-install the software and start from scratch?

Thanks

That should be a random version of FFDShow. I don't recommend those. If
you're going to put random beta codecs on your system (bad plan), try one of
the ones marked "stable":

That should likely work better. =)

After much frustration, I copied my movie and pasted it into a new project
and it worked fine. I hope that continues. It's a pain, but worth it if it
means you can get your work done!
