Movie Maker on Windows Vista -- problems

I'm wondering if anyone is having a similar problem. My laptop with Windows
Vista is brand new and I am having a strange problem with the Movie Maker
program. I can import video and put clips in the storyboard and they play
just fine. But, as soon as I do anything with it, like adding a transition
or effect, the preview screen goes blank and I am unable to view what I've
done. The only way that I can view what I'm doing, I've found, is if I'm
very careful to have the video playing while I click and drag a transition.
If at any point the video stops playing, the screen goes blank again and I am
working blind (though the affects are still there, I can't preview them until
the whole video is saved or "published").

What file type are you using?
