MS Movie Maker exports the Codec error on me and now does not work!

My Vista's Home Premium Service Pack 1
 
I was downloading MP4 fortunately making movies with MS Movie Maker then pvooop! MSMM no longer works.
I just downloaded the WMM 2.6 and that crashes now in the same way.  WHY?
 
When I try an import with the ASUS media and go to the folder that contains these files .mswmm files are not yet recognised by the Vista Movie Maker as being multimedia files, to see I choose all files. When I try to open them up to this moment there, I get the following error message:
 
The file C:\Users\Don and Kim\Videos\Africa video Project\Drafts\Welcome Home\Clip 01_1\WH than Clip1.MSWMM cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file.
 
I tried to find the codecs but was put off by the fact that they were not genuine Microsoft and do not want to download something that will just make things worse.  Why should I have to download the risky codecs when I'm a real MS client?

This happens to many people. Is there a bug in time in this SW?

Hello

You try to read the MSWMM file?

A .mswmm file is not a movie... it's a project file. If you double click the .mswmm file it can open Movie Maker, but unless you have imported all the sources files it will not be usable.

I recommend you go through the link below which includes a complete description on how to put a DVD into Windows movie maker project.
