Kristen:

thank you for your help!

I renamed all of the dll files you suggested and then
rebooted the machine and Movie Maker worked just fine.
Most of the files seemed to come from a program called
WinProducer, which I installed some months ago.
Paradoxically, when I renamed them back to their original
names and opened WinProducer for a few minutes Movie
Maker continued to work properly.

I dont get it but it works nonetheless.

If you have any thoughts about that I would be curious.
Otherwise, thanks very much.

Geoff
