Can't Play Clips - Preview is Dead!

I am a new user to Movie Maker and am having problems with the clip playing
facility. I place a clip (even Microsofts own sample) into the timeline but
the controls of the preview area are completly dead. I cannot even use the
drop down menu to play the clip. Is there some problem with corrupted code or
application extension. I have tried to find a way of downloading a new
version, but cannot as it is part of SP2 and I cannot find how to download it
separately. Also, Movie maker does not appear in the list of Programmes when
the control panel Add/Delete Programme facility is activated, so I can't even
uninstall it.
Any ideas how I can get it to work?
 
I have tried everything you suggest but still no luck. There is another dll
in my MM folder, WMMUTIL.DLL 1.1.2427.1 Could this be the problem as it does
not have the same version as the others. However, I can't find a copy of this
file in the ServicePack/i386 folder. Other information that might help find a
solution:
Movie Maker does not appear in the list of programmes shown in the
ADD/Remove programs section of the Control Panel
When a clip is placed in the timeline, the clip title and duration appear in
the Preview Panel, but the controls are still dead.
