Brightton,
My name is Cheryl and I will be assisting you.
Go to Applications>Utilities and start up Disk utility.
When that opens, click on the second icon at the top left, then click on the Repair Permissions button.
When done, quit Disk utility and give iMovie a try.

Let me know if you need further assistance and thank you for using MacOSX.com !

Brightton,
Since none of those tricks worked, it is time to reinstall iMovie. First you need to delete all the files for iMovie.
Go to Hard Drive>Library>Receipts. Trash the iMovie.pkg files. You may have a iMovie Update.pkg and that needs to be deleted as well.
Go to the Applications folder and trash iMovie and delete the iMovie from the dock if you have the icon there.
Now insert you iLife CD and just install iMovie. Once the install is done, you may need to restart the computer. Now you can install the update to iMovie.
You should be back in business now.
