When I click on import video it goes to my video's for a second then shuts
down.
(Pictures work just not video's)

What I have been doing for the past year or so - (Don't ask why so much work
arounds - it worked for me until now)

I bought Nero so I could burn DVD's.
I make my movie in Movie Maker - edit the project -when done- save it as a
movie.
Then open it in Nero Vision - tinker a bit with it - Then burn it on DVD,
Been working great after I figured out a couple workarounds. I knew how to
use WMM a little and nothing about Nero so between the two I could do what I
wanted.

I started having some issues with Nero a couple months ago.
I did some internet searching and wound up downloading some codec.
No telling what else I did trying to fix it---

I have just read some of Papa Johns info - looked at the .ax files, I have
18 of them on my computer that are possible issue cause'ers.

Knowing the little I really do about this kind of stuff decided I better
stop right here and see if I can get better help instead of just re-naming
all of them and then trying to use a different program or software and it not
working right because of the re-naming---?? Just don't know how this stuff
works, how it all interchanges or not with each other.

Ok, so the bottom line question is-
What is causing movie maker to just shut down with out warning when I
click on inport video files?

(I have XP
version 5.1...servicepac3 ...Windows movie maker version 2.1.4026.0)

your version 2.1 of Movie Maker is the latest one, and it has the
compatibility list (Tools > Options).... uncheck the line items in the list
instead of finding and renaming .ax files.

I routinely work with over 50 line items in the list, with them all
unchecked.

that usually means you have to do file conversions before importing...

Now you totally lost me.
File conversions?
For one thing it doesn't seam that it would matter what 'version' they were
as moviemaker closes before I can click on anything.

In the past I have had to mess with come kind of converting, but that has
not been an issue in awhile.

I do have a few issues with thumb files that come with my video clips from
my newest canon camera. Usually just deleting them right away has stopped
any of those issues. I only mention that incase that jogs something in your
memory.

If You are confident about the file conversion being the issue I will spend
the time to do what I need to, but would you Please give me step by step
help. I don't even know how to get started.

Thanks,
Liz

Ps. I read articles on the papajohn page all the time. Some have been very
helpful, some I just get lost.
