Movie Maker crashes at start-up.
I have been trying to find a solution for this problem and have found
nothing. Movie Maker gives me the standard "encountered a problem..." window and shuts down etc. as soon as I start it up. I sent the report and was directed here. I could not find my answer, so... If anyone can help me? Please do. Thanks. |

Movie Maker crashes at start-up.
Load libraryWell for one I posted in Windows XP newsgroups so...that should
tell you right there what OS I am using. I installed the Movie maker software well after IE was installed. I originally did not have movie maker so I downloaded it from c/net. So that eliminated that problem. Next, I attempted to disable the ffdshow codec and recieved this mesage: loadlibrary.... message. So that is also not the problem as well seeing as it is not in the library. I checked on the links you also provided and they were all for Vista. next?

Movie Maker is included as a component of Windows XP...so...no, you did not install it after IE7. You probably had Movie Maker 2.1 and didn't know how to launch it so you downloaded and installed the earlier 2.0 version. No...the links I posted are not just for Vista. Good luck solving your problems. -- John Inzer MS-MVP Digital Media Experience Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk |

I just informed you of what happened? I have tried the 'other' links which happen to be the same thing twice on each link. And I tried the ProgramFiles Intervideo search on my PC and I do not have that file on my PC. So, if what you say is correct and I have installed WMM 2.0 and had 2.1 how do I get 2.1 back? |

see the Setup Movie Maker MM2.1 page of my website. One of the sections on
it is about reinstalling it. -- website references are to www.papajohn.org PapaJohn (MVP) "Lou" wrote in message ...

O.k. now what? That did not work either. I tried to reinstall it per your directions. Same message. I also added the DLL's as per your site as well, same message. I tried to uninstall it completely and try to re-install it and it states program is in use. Shut down PC and restarted it and still got the same message about being in use when I have no programs running whatsoever. I am not a happy camper here! |
