Please HELP !!! Class not registered

If I place a clip into the timeline the
preview buttons remain dead. However, if I then click on the Tools option
menu and select Titles & Credits, three of the Preview buttons become live
(Play, Stop and Take Picture). However, when I click on these buttons the
error message Class Not Registered is displayed.

Any ideas of what is causing this problem and how I can overcome it
Please help please !!!!

Try the usual things first:

1. Reinstall latest runtime of DirectX: full install:

2. (Re)install Windows Media Encoder
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...r/default.aspx

Reboot as required. If the above two steps do not work, try following:

3. Close all programs and run this batch file:

If even that doesn't help then the only option seems to reinstall Service
Pack 2 (SP2).

Is the video clip by chance an MPEG (MPG) clip?
