==================================
Some users have reported problems
after installing IE7. If this applies to your
situation ...uninstalling IE7 may be worth
a try.

(927177) How to uninstall Internet Explorer 7
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927177/en-us

I've also seen a report that disabling the
ffdshow codec could be the fix. To accomplish
this...open Movie Maker and go to...Tools /
Options / Compatibility tab...Uncheck...
ffdshow / OK.

===
(You can disable ffdshow with this command:
regsvr32.exe /u "C:\Program Files\ffdshow\ffdshow.ax"
After running that command, the regular
DivX/XviD codecs will be used instead of ffdshow.
You can enable ffdshow again with this command:
regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\ffdshow\ffdshow.ax" )

He has IE6 and running MM2.1 xp with service pack 2 thought i would
uninstall /Re-install sp2 but cannot detect it, the xp disk has sp2 on it
,maybe thats why i cannot locate sp2 in Add /remove.
any other suggestions?

WHat file types are the pictures?
Does the crashing happen with any other file, like a wmv/wma/wav?
Have you tried importing the supplied Windows images?
