An error occurred while attempting to load the movie
Marker: 227
Error: -2147220907 (0x80040255)

No idea what's going on here. Any help would be appreciated.
The program has worked fine previously as well.

The error indicates "Cannot play back the video stream: no suitable decompressor could be found."

This typically would mean a codec problem for either video or even audio.  If this worked previously then you may have installed a piece of software that updated the codecs.  I'd recommend installing ffdshow which provides most common codecs and try again.

Thank you. I downloaded the DivX codec and that fixed that problem.

However, I am now getting another problem:
Run-time Error (Line 1874)
-999: Unable to buffer movie - too many retries

Any suggestions?
