For the first time I wanted to make a movie. When i tried to import a video
file this is what it said. "cannot be imported because the codec required to
play the file is not installed on your computer". would have thought that
this 'codec' would have been installed when they put in movie maker? where do
I go to install it?

Sometimes it's necessary to install various
codecs. Have a look at the following articles:
