Cannot preview video effects & transitions

Hi! I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2 with WMP 10 and WMM 2.1, with k-lite
codecs pack FULL and Divx installed

Recently I found that I cannot see the video effects and transitions
in windows movie maker. In WMM, when you double click on a video
effect, or video transitions, you see a preview of them on the right
WMP window. But for my case, nothing appeared.. only the timeline bar
jump from 0s to 2s. The screen is totally blank.

However, I can preview the "Title Animations" without problem.. so
basically it applies to video effects and video transitions.


I've checked to make sure the picture used for preview are there.. I
even reinstall SP2 upgrade again, but the problem still exists.


Any advice pls?

I too have the same problem....I have no idea what went wrong -- was working
a couple of months ago, I have only recently installed a new driver for a
video camera and mp3 player. This may have something to do with it or maybe
MediaPlayer 10 -- ?

I am trying to find out how to download the moviemaker 2 without the sp2 as
I already have that installed.

If you have SP2 installed then you already have MovieMaker 2 installed.
If you open MovieMaker and click Help -> About Windows Movie Maker
you will see version 2.1.4026

I know that occasionally I will click a transition and it won't
automatically play but if I click the play button it works fine. Try that.

Any helps. The problem once gone after I clean installed XP SP2.

But recently when I remove Pinnacle Studio 9.3.5 patch and reinstall the
whole apps, the same problem recurs
