I'm not sure what you mean by 'fix' .avi files on Movie Maker. I can only assume you are having difficulty opening/viewing/importing that type of file. So, if you are not able to import an .avi file into the program, there are two options:
A:
Download the K-lite Codec (Basic) package for free online. This codec pack will enable you to open many file name extensions (and derivatives thereof) that your system can't otherwise open. It is a safe download and will save you a lot of headaches.
B:
Convert the .avi file to another extension Windows Movie Maker uses:
asf, dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, .wmv
Free video converters are available online. Simply Google: free video converters. Download and install one of your choosing. Then, follow the conversion instructions ensuring your 'Output Source' Format is one of the file name extensions listed above.
There are a few options: •If you have Vista, you can copy the Program Files of Movie Maker 6.1 onto Windows 7 and it will run like normal •Download Windows Live Essentials from Microsoft (Movie Maker 14)
You can't get any projects from Windows Movie Maker (Vista) to play on Windows Movie XP. Windows Movie Maker project files (MSWMM) need to access the original source files in order to play the project. Therefore, if the original source files are not available on the system you are attempting to open the project file on, then the can't be displayed.The only way you can get a Windows Movie Maker project file (no matter what version) to display on another computer is by first Publishing or Finishing the movie. This process mixes down (exports) audio and video properties into a Standard Viewing Format.
