when I clik on "Capture video" it responds with an error message saying no video device detected, How can I start the Capture Video Wizard. The help file says "When the capture video Wizard starts....
I have been waiting.... and begging it to start and even tried to coax it into starting by offering it cookies.
 
In the help section of Movie Maker under "Using Windows Movie Maker"
"Capturing Video", it explains what you need and how to capture the video
using the wizard. Here is a part of the description from the help file.

Capturing video
You can capture video and audio to your computer by using Windows Movie
Maker. To begin capturing, a video capture device must be connected properly
and detected on your computer by Windows Movie Maker. Some audio and video
capture devices and sources that you can use include a digital video (DV) or
analog camera or VCR, a Web camera, a TV tuner card, or a microphone. You
can capture content live or from video tape.

When capturing video and audio in Windows Movie Maker, the Video Capture
Wizard proceeds as follows:

1.. Select the capture devices you want to use. For more information
about choosing capture devices, see Choosing a video and audio capture
device.
2.. Specify where you want your captured audio and video file to be
saved. For more information about choosing a destination for your captured
audio and video file, see Choosing a saving destination.
3.. Choose the video setting. For more information about choosing a
video setting for capturing video and audio, see Choosing a video setting.
4.. If you are capturing audio and video from a video tape in a DV
camera or DV VCR, choose the method you want to use to capture video and
audio. For more information, see Choosing how to capture from a DV device.
5.. Capture the video and audio. For more information, see Capturing
video and audio.
Hope thie helps,
