Codec Error

My issue started when my computer crashed. I had NERO OEM V6.0 installed
prior and no problems with Movie Maker. They installed NERO 8.0 after and
still no problem until the 30 day trial expired. The 8.0 had the video player
while the OEM didn't. At that time I had a problem with one video file which
was in .avi as well as .mpeg. It wouldn't play in either WMP or in the Movie
Maker.(Missing Codec) I uninstalled the 8.0 and reinstalled the NERO OEM or
EOM I forget which letter sequence and low and behold the video file played
in WMP. But I can't import it into Movie Maker. I checked the download codec
box from tools-options but still it won't import. I tried to post this as a
question, but for some reason the dialogue box wouldn't open up for me. Any
Ideas. I did uncheck all the codecs from tools-options-compatibility, but
that didn't work either-Thanks for any feedback-Scott.

To play an mpeg you need an mpeg decoder and this is licensed. It will come
with your nero programmes, so when the trial ran out, so did your license.
WMP will now play, new license.

MM does not work with mpegs, you need to convert it to wmv
