Vista - nothing happening in timeline of moviemaker

hello,
I can import clips from DV camera into moviemaker, I can see them and split
them, but when I drag (or copy/paste) one into timeline or storyboard,
nothing is happening; timeline stays empty.
What is wrong?

thanks for reaction,

chris

What cam?
How is it connected?
What did you capture as, dv-avi?

timeline

I just tried the "automatic movie" button (think its called like that, I use
Dutch pgm) wich results in an error message like "pointer not good" (again
free translation)

Can you import the sample video that MS supplies in My Videos and then put
that on the timeline?
If so it may be that somehow your captured file is getting corrupted.
If not, it sounds like MM is bad.
There is a version of MM, v2.6 for epole who find that v6 just will not work
for them, but only use if it definately doesn't work with anything.
