Welcome to the forums,
Possible causes:
- WinXP MCE was not supported until VS10
- Applications running in the background that is conflicting with VS
- Video file format is causing VS9se problems
In case of #1, you would need to upgrade to VS10 or VS10+

In case of #2, it is recommended to shut down / disable all background applications that are not essential. There is a tutorial provided for
Creating a Video Editing Profile
In case of #3, there are some formats like DivX, Xvid, MPEG-4, that are highly compressed formats, and are intended for distribution not editing. While some people are successful at editing these formats, several are not. For instances VS9 (full version) requires a plug-in to be able to render an MPEG-4 video file. This is provided with VS10+. However not knowing anything about your project properties, video file properties, workflow etc., it is difficult to provide any helpful advise along this line.
A Recommended Workflow has been developed to help guide you through the mine-field of video editing, as it pertains to Ulead's VideoStudio Programs. They can be viewed here:
