Windows Movie Maker Error Invalid Pointer

when ever I try to add a pic to the story board it doesn't do anything just
acts like i didn't even do it, and when i just try to make an auto movie it
sais there's an invalid pointer as the error code. I don't know what that
even means and Never had this problem with XP, i've got a new dell laptop
with windows vista home premium already installed. with the movie maker that
came with vista. would appreciate any help.

No I haven't tried bitmap, All my pictures are in JPEG. How can I convert
them to bitmap. I've got a few bitmaps I saved off the web i'll try those,
but in the mean time do you know how to convert a jpeg to a bitmap

Do you have a photo editing programme? If so check to see if it has a batch
function, so you cna change them all in one go.

If not, check out Irfanview, link here

Which will do it for you.
