Movie Maker preview screen not working

Hi All,

My preview screen has stopped showing previews of clips or movie itself. I
can't drag and drop, play doesn't effect it and play from the drop down menu
won't work either. Everything else works fine and has worked for the last 50
hrs I've been working on this project. Help!!!

Don't know if this will help butI have also spent many frustrating hours trying to fix movie maker. The audio and video seem to be on the timeline and they worked earlier in the morning but suddenly the preview only played audio. There are lots of people trying to delete and reinstall movie maker but the problem is most people have movie maker bundled in XP service pack 2 and therefore do not have a disk (since they downloaded from the internet). What finally worked for me was to simply uninstall internet explorer 7. When you do this it automatically reverts back to ie6. As soon as ie7 was removed I had my video back! Hope this helps.
