====================================
Best bet woudl be to convert the .mpg files to the
..wmv format before importing into Movie Maker.
(FWIW....avi can cause issues also)

The following freeware can do the conversion:

(FWIW...it's always a good idea to create a System
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Format Factory
http://www.pcfreetime.com/
(FWIW...you may want to uncheck
all the boxes on the final screen)

After downloading and installing Format Factory...
open the program and choose an Output Folder...
(this is where you will find your files after they are
converted)

Drag/drop your MPG video clips onto the main screen...

Select 'All to WMV' / OK...


Click...Start...on the toolbar...

That should do it...
