I am using an HP Pavilion Media Center computer m7570n with its video==========================================
capture device Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II Capture. Windows Movie
Maker WMM runs on Windows XP professional. The input is an AV
composite video signal with stereo audio (the capture device provides
the appropriate connectors for it on the front panel). Tried all the
different options for audio and video available within WMM, also had
the entire audio system checked, but to no avail. I get beatuiful
video but no audio. After spending nearly a night with HP online
support personnel (from India) on the phone trouble shooting the
case. Veredict: WMM software is most likely corrupted and I would
have to do a complete recovery of my computer (Format the hard disk,
etc.) because WMM (for Win XP) cannot be downloaded from Microsoft
separately (it's supposedly part of Service Pack 2, which is not
available either for downloading). The corruption most likely
occurred when I installed InterVideo WinDVD Creator3, since WMM
stopped operating after that (crashed on opening). As soon as I
unistalled the Intervideo software, WMM seemed to be working again
(no crashes), except that the audio interface is now no longer
functional. I should note here that the reason I went back to WMM is
because Intervideo WinDVD Creator 3 did not work at all. the video
files generated by it were all corrupted (only diagonal lines instead
of video and no sound). I suspect that the two video processing
software corrupt one another. Now my question: Would anyone know how
to re-install WMM in a machine with Windows XP operating system, or
fix this problem some other way. I really don't want to do a full
recovery unless absolutely necessary.
Would appreciate very much any hints whatsoever.
Have you tried unchecking all the filters in
Movie Maker? Find them in Movie Maker at:
Tools / Options / Compatibility tab.
Maybe the info at the following site will be useful:
http://www.papajohn.org/
For starters...in the left pane...go to...
Import Movie Source Files / Video / Recorded TV.
FWIW...you can download SP2 form the following site:
Download Windows XP SP2
http://tinyurl.com/6ubys
or...
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=049c9dbe-3b8e-4f30-8245-9e368d3cdb5a&displaylang=en
Generally, users install from the net but this
site allows you to download the complete
file to your hard drive before installing.
It's good for a network administrator because
you can burn it on a CD and install it on as
many computers as you need to.
And it's good for a single machine because
if you ever need to install it again...you'll have
it available without waiting for a download.

I have tried the to remove the filters, but that did not work. I then
restored the default filters. Now I can't even produce any video clip (w/o
audio). I want to try to reinstall XP SP2 which is supposed to contain WMM.
But now I realized that I have already installed XP Sp3 some time ago. Will I
have to uninstall SP3 before attempting to reinstall SP2 (or rather over
installing SP2) because it seemingly SP2 can't be uninstalled. It's not in
the Add/Remove Software list. I thought these SPs have to be installed in the
right order. Any idea on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Derek
