Unable to Import some video files

When I attempt to import some video files I receive the following error:
Sep 25-Channel 10 (12 20 pm).mpg could not be imported. An interface has too
many methods to fire events from

Any Ideas?

You should convert MPEG-2 files to AVI before importing into Movie Maker...
see the Importing Source Files > Video > MPEG-2 page of my website.

I had the same problem, however if I open Windows Media Player and leave it
minimized in the background I can then import the video files.
