windows movie maker doesn't display gif after I installed a program.
I unistalled it, I deleted all the registry entries that included the name of that program , I reinstalled windows movie maker, but nothing helped! any clues?

Did it display them for you prior to installing that program?

Have you got a HQ export of that segment that you can just re-import and use? So it's footage not a image file any more.

What's the error it gives you?

You know I cant really remember if I ever used .gif in wmm x_x I never had a problem with jpeg and png but I wasn't big into storing .gif on my computer sooo, I'm not sure if they should work of not *sigh*

Yes it displayed just fine before I installed that program,now they are like black images. When I try to import gif it says the file is not valid or corrupted.
What is a HQ export?

HQ= High Quality so DV_AVI or best settings in WMM

then i would suspect the gif file/s you are trying to use

you could try converting the gif to avi using a filter that can load gif files in avisynth or go oldskool and use graphedit to convert but they can be a bit of a learning curve if you've never used them before.

I converted some of them to avi with Bannershop Gif Animator, but they act differently than gif in wmm, I have serious time issues.
