Hi! I recently downloaded Movie Maker 2 in the Windows Service Pack 2 from
Windows Update. I have been using GameCam to film games on the pc and editing
them with Movie Maker 1.1 Now that I have Movie Maker 2 I have been trying
to do the same thing. But for some reason the display on the screen is always
black. If i play a clip just from a collection it is fine. But when i start
playing the timeline or storyboard or any transition/effect the screen is
just black. I can hear the audio perfectly fine but i cant see the movie? Can
u help me?

Are the GameCam captures MPG's by chance?
If so convert them to AVI and they should then work just fine.

the timeline/storyboard the screen is just blank. But i can still hear the
audio.

Possibly a codec problem.
I suggest you try downloading new codec's from here:
http://www.free-codecs.com/
Maybe that will help.
