Effects no longer preview in MM2

I'm hoping someone can help me with a new problem I'm
having with MM2. It had been working properly until last
weekend. Last weekend I installed the Pixelan demo. Since
then, my video effects and transitions no longer "preview"
in the preview window. I have to apply them to the file to
see what they will look like. What can I do to fix this?

I've already tried the following: installing the full
Pixelan program; re-installing MM2; and accessing the
effects preview through various means (spacebar,
double-clicking, right-clicking, and pressing play in the
preview window).

I have an NVIDA card & understand there are certain issues
with that card, but the patch was installed when I
purchased the PC, and, as I said, the program was working
prior to last weekend. I'd successfully made about 10
movies in the month I'd had this system.

Any help/guidance you can offer would be appreciated. But
with the amount of data I have in this system & the time it
took me to transfer it from my old system, I am not
prepared to do a System Recovery.

Thank you for your help.

Reinstall latest versions of:

- DirectX
- Widnows Media Player
- XP2 SP2

Reboot and check after each install.

XP2 SP2 seems to be the cure for all these problems, although it is not a
final release so should be considered only as the last resort.

The DirectX file fixed it. Thank you so much!!!

And after referring to the postings Graham suggested, I saw
mention of a SpyWare removal program that may have been the
culprit for some. I remembered I installed -- then
uninstalled -- the Earthlink Total Access program which
includes a SpyWare removal component. There were other
issues causing me to remove it, but there does seem to be a
link.

Thank you for your help!!
