I just tried to restore iMovie from previous version using Time Machine.
This was before I saw your new email Ronni.
In doing so I finished up with a tiny 2.5MB iTunes app that doesn't work.
So I have deleted and must start from scratch.
At least I will have a clean sheet once I delete that preference file.
