Just to let you guys know...I have a new Vista Laptop and I'm trying to make new videos but the problem is everytime I download a Movie and move it to the Movie Maker it only play the audio but doesn't show the picture itself can someone tell me how to fix this?

You're missing the required codecs to play the video part of the video file. Download DIVX player. That'll be able to properly play almost any video file in WMM.

I recommend the K-Lite-Codec-Pack. Easy to install and it works pretty well!

^^^I wouldn't. That's the worst codec pack out there because they introduce pretty much EVERY codec they can find, regardless if it's stable or not. This codec pack is MUCH better:

Hm, after I format my laptop, it works fine every time when I install it. :blink: If you install the K-Lite-Codec Pack, you can choose which codecs you want to install. If you find a unstable codec, you don't have to install it.

Ah, but the trick is knowing which ones are stable and which are not. I for one don't know which ones are stable because they change all the time. I doubt anyone else here does either. It's better to go with a certified codec pack that is backed by an actual company than some third party compilation of stable and unstable codecs like the k-lite codec pack.

Ok I have little good news......and......SOME TERRIBLE NEWS.

I'm pretty sure you guys are familiar this glitch ok I started a new AMV for my Youtube account (not sure if I wanted to post on it anyway) but I published the first beginning piece of the project to preview it.

All of a sudden the Video had a Green screen glitch under the actual video and the video itself was Glitch right up

. This is probably one of Vista's Glitches but I am wondering if you guys know how to repair it?
