Custom Effects and Transitions not working

Downloaded the custom effects and transitions from MS. Followed the instructions, but still no extra effects. The original effects still work fine. The only thing I didn't understand in the instructions was compiling to visual c++. Not sure if this applies to me or not.
Here are the instructions I followed:
Create the AddOnTFX directory in Movie Maker's Shared install directory (C:\Program files\Movie Maker\Shared\AddOnTFX), and then copy the XML files from the XML directory in this sample (C:\MMSTFX\XML\*.xml) to the directory you created. Register the enclosed DLL, MMSTFX.dll, in the sample's Bin directory by typing regsvr32 c:\MMSTFX\Bin\MMSTFX.dll from the command line. Run Movie Maker and look for the new transitions and effects.

When compiling this sample be sure to add the DXMedia SDK's include directory (C:\DXMedia\Include) to your Visual C++ include path.

Thanks for any help you can give,

The sample project for custom effects and transitions provided on that page
is for building more effects and transitions in C++. The provided sample
code when compiled would produce a DLL that implements Melt transition and
BlueAdjust Effect.

Other xml files in that download should be usable just by copying into the
AddOnTFX folder as you have done.

I was originally trying to load the change speed effect from papajohn (for reverse). Can't get any of the extra effects to display in movie maker. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,

Change speed cannot do "reverse video" effect. It is mentioned on the
customeffects and transitions page and I have tried it as well to no avail.
On my website I have detailed one simple method using 3rd party freeware
tools (VirtualDub and AviSynth) to achieve it.

Can you install any of the effects or package from my website. Do they work
?

That works great. I highly recomend this for anybody wanting to reverse film. Thanks for all your help.
