I'm having a problem with getting clips that I edited in Live Movie Maker to put together. It can't find it, and it won't recognize the  format of either wmv or the native extension that I saved it under in the first place.

According to Movie Maker 6.0, I don't have the right codecs installed to play the clip or add it to my Live Movie Maker Library. Where do I go to get them, and why weren't they installed with Windows Vista.

I have a Hewlett Packard Pavillion P6110y running Vista Service Pack 2, with Live Movie Maker 2011(and Movie Maker 6.0, that came with Vista) Any help you can give me would be extremely helpful. Please be patient with me, as I'm new and didn't  understand the files about the Codecs at all. Could you baby-step me through the steps to get this problem solved so I can get my movie edited and uploaded to YouTube?

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely yours, Katherine Logan (Maghdalena)
