Serious problem with Movie Maker...

I've made a number of movies using Microsoft Movie Maker, and in each case
converted them to windows media player files after editing. Recently, i made
a 30 minute movie using the program, converted it to windows media player
format, and later went back to edit the file i used in Movie Maker to make
some changes, but as soon as i click on the timeline, the program disappears.
No freezing, no errors, just closes immediately. I've opened numerous other
Movie Maker files just to see if i can make changes or even keep the program
open, but again the program disappears. Not sure what to think of this, and
extremely unhappy. Need help, please.

How about a system restore to go back to when it was working fine.

If by system restore you mean turn the computer off and reboot, or restart,
i've done that numerously. Not sure what else a "system restore" would be,
but let me know if its anything other than rebooting.

I mean going back in time... a day, a week or more... to when your system
was working fine.

You access your restore points by using Start > All Programs > Accessories >
System Tools > System Restore.... then you pick a date in the past.
