I use Windows Movie Maker (WMM) to create little movies of my 2-year old daughter so that I can burn them to DVD. The source of the footage is from my digital camcorder that takes Mini DV tapes.
It had been quite a while since I last edited one of these tapes and so was now using my recently upgraded and reinstalled PC. I opened WMM last night to edit the tape only to be confronted with a message that all the transitions and effects were missing. I don't use many of these effects but fade in/out to black is a must.
I searched around on the internet today to try and find a solution and here is one way that got it working for me:
* Open Windows Explorer (Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Windows Explorer)
* Browse to C:\WINDOWS\inf
* Locate moviemk.inf
* Right-click on it and select 'Install'
* Pop your WinXP (service pack 2) disk in let Windows reinstall WMM
* Fire up WMM and be amazed that everything is back to normal!
I'm so pleased that I got it working again so quickly, there are many people out there that seem to have the problem and can't find a fix for it - hopefully by blogging this there will be one more solution to try!

If not I'm not sure what you can do, I'm not aware of a re-install process when you install programs via Windows Updates.
If you find a solution please let me know!
