I'm trying to import video in Movie Maker and get the following message: M2U00017. MPG could not be imported. An interface has too many methods to fire events from. What do this mean and what should I do to allow me to import video files to edit?

=======================================
Movie Maker has problems with the .mpg files... best bet would be
to convert the .mpg files before importing the .wmv format.

Several formats are apparently compatible with
Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

Photos - bmp
Video - wmv or dv - avi
Music - wma, wav, .wmv

See the following article:

Movie Maker 2 - Import MPEG files
http://www.Papajohn.org/mm2-importing-video-MPEG2.html

The following freeware can convert:

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Format Factory
http://www.pcfreetime.com/
(FWIW... you can uncheck
all the boxes on the last screen)

After downloading and installing Format Factory...
Open the program and choose an output folder...
(this is where you will find your files when they are
converted)

Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

Select "At?" / OK...
(the? is the format of your choice)

Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

That should do it...

Good luck...
