ehawkins --
DShow will "quarantine" filters it has trouble instantiating.
"Trouble" simply means DShow couldn't CoCreate the filter -- this can be
because the code is poorly written, or your machine didn't have enough
resources to at the time to allow the filter to be co-created, or
whatever.
Once the filter is quarantined by DShow, you need to manually delete the
registry key to get DShow to re-enumerate it. There is no exiting UI that
I'm aware of to do this -- you need to go into Regedit and delete the
registry keys containing the quarantined CLSIDs.
Try the steps I've listed below. If Dshow still can't CoCreate the filter,
it will simply re-quarantine the filter again. But if the problem that
caused the filter to be quarantined initially has been resolved, then the
following steps may help you regain your missing trans/effect:
Could you try the following?
(Back up your registry first if you aren't comfortable with doing this
kind of operation!).
1. Make sure Movie maker is shutdown.
2. Choose "Start" | "Run"
3. Type "regedit.exe" (no quotes) and Enter.
4. In Regedit, navigate to the following keys, and delete them (as well as
any child nodes they may contain):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveMovie\{CC7BFB46-F175-11D1-A392-00E0291F3959}
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveMovie\{CC7BFB47-F175-11D1-A392-00E0291F3959}
5. Launch MM and look to see if you've got your missing Trans/Effects
back.
Hope this helps!
