I can save to hard disk if I elect to save for email and then accept the "save a copy " option.
If I use the "Save to my computer" option, on the Save Movie Wizard's "Movie Setting" page I can
select any option but the 3 buttons (Back, Next and Cancel) are inoperative - i.e. no save is
initiated and I have to hit the red "Close" button to go back. No error message. The Send to the web
option is the same and Save to CD cannot see my drive. (I have Windows built-in recording turned off
as I use Roxio)

I am only trying small wmv and avi files

Re-installing by installing the moviemk.inf file in the "inf" folder but it is not possible as the
requested moviemk.exe file is not accepted. I tried manually copying and registering the relevant
files to the Program Files folder.

Is reinstalling XP SP2 the only possible answer? (All those updates...)

Got IE7 and WMP 11

It used to work...
 
I know many users have reported problems after installing IE7 and
uninstalling it has helped most of the time.

As far as reinstalling SP2 many of the updates installed since then will not
be downloaded again because some were replacements for others. Plus you
could try first installing SP2 over itself by downloading it from here:
