for some reason,every time i now try to import a file(picture or avi video
clip) into movie maker for editing etc,a message tells me it can not import
file -'unspecified error'.
is no help;have not changed anything,have done regularly before.

If this is happening continuously and with different files then the only
suggestion I can think of that will work is to reinstall SP2 thereby
reinstalling WMM.

Well try using Windows Restore to restore back to a point when WMM was
working.

You dont need to uninstall SP2. Just re-install it over the current
isntallation. Your user settings would be preserved by this process.

SP2 contains movie maker 2.1. If you already have SP2 installed obviously
installing lower version (2.0) on top of higher version is not a good idea.
