Movie maker records video faster than the sound!

If any one can shed some light on this problem I would greatly appreichate it!
I have been converting AVI files to WMV with the "Windows Movie Maker"
without a problem, untill now. Now, when I am conerting a AVI movie (lets
say, dracula.avi-1.97GB) into a WMV (dracula.wmv-700MB) the video is faster
than the sound. I can see the caractors speaking, but it takes 3 to 4 seconds
for the sound to catchup..
What has happened?? I have not changed any settings, or added any new
programs, only WindowsXP has Auto-Update (Default setting) and as far as I
can tell form the Windows Update site, only Security issues have been
downloaded and updated. (Critical updates.)

I look forward for a reply.

there are many avi file types, are these exactly the same as others that
have worked before? If you are unsure, take an old one and try it.
Try turning off the filters in MM

Everything is the same. The older movies I have converted work fine. I can
not find any diffrances. I thought may be, just possibly, I may need more
memory, so I have 1gig now, and 437 free when I try to make another movie,
but it still comes out the same. I am buying another program to do the same
task, so I will see then if it is just the software (Movie Maker) or my PC.
Long n short of it, if one fixex my problem, I'll forget the other.
