Question asked on Sep 21, 2016

I've been using Movie Maker for years and I just stumbled on an issue I've never had before.  So I'm starting a new project and uploading files, problem is, when I put anything on the story board, the previewer shows it all messed up, black and white lines almost like the static from watching a really old VHS video.  You cans till make out that it's the same file but you can't really see it well enough for editing.  Weird thing is, if I play the file from the collections, the preview is just fine.  If I make the movie, the playback is just fine, audio and all.  Only problem is when I try to preview anything from the storyboard.

Tried uninstall and reinstall, tried restoring default settings.  Been working as well as WMM ever did for years, this is new.

Any thoughts?
