Cannot open Windows Movie Maker

Location of Windows Movie Maker

When I try to open Windows Movie Maker to continue the work I started yesterday, I receive an error message that says: a version is already in use and to close it first.  I can't find where it is.

=================================================
No guarantee, but may be worth a try...

Open the Task Manager / processes tab... End task on all instances of moviemk.exe

I was wondering... is this problem occurs after the computer has been restarted?

  • Cannot find Window Movie Maker in XP. Wanted to download Kodak Easy Share clips on a Web site. All I could do was save still images.

    I downloaded some video clips of Kodak.  They are on the computer - I can be read, but can now find a way to get them out to download (I tried to enter a contest).  Is Microsoft Movie Maker Windows 7 system only?  I'm not tech savvy and could not even Real Player do something to download.

    You might find Movie Maker to... Start button / all programs /.
    Accessories / Movie Maker.

    If you do not find Movie Maker just go to... Start / run...
    type or copy / paste moviemk.exe and then press
    Enter to start Movie Maker.

    I suspect that the Kodak film clips are .mov format
    and will not compatible with Movie Maker.

    Convert the. MOV files to the. WMV format should
    allow you to import into Movie Maker.

    There are to many converters available on the net and I
    have been suggesting the following freeware, but some
    users have reported results unsatisfactory conversion
    HD MOV files.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Format Factory
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the last screen)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup260.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

    Good luck...

  • Cannot import Windows Movie Maker Audio

    I do a film for my parents ' anniversary and downloaded a song from Amazon.com to use with it. I hear the song on my pc, but I get a message "unidentified error" when I try to import it. The song itself is already in mp3 format, but when I called Amazon support they said I probably need to "encode" it and suggest that I have download an encoder. Don't know exactly how or where to find it.

    =============================
    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv or dv - avi
    Music - wma, wav, wmv

    Might be worth trying to convert your MP3 files to the
    Format WMA before you import into Movie Maker.

    There are to many free converters available on the net...
    download from Koyotesoft is an example:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

    Koyotesoft "Free MP3 WMA Converter".

    (FWIW if you install the converter, you can
    Uncheck offerings from Yahoo and Dealio) (also... you
    may want to uncheck the CD Ripper and the Easy
    MP3 Cutter)

    After installing the program... open and drag and drop
    your audio files on the main screen...

    Choose a backup folder (path of output). Or just leave...
    "Save to the directory the file" checked and the new
    files will be saved in the folder with the current files.

    Choose a format...

    Left, click Convert.

  • Windows Movie Maker 6.0 Vista immediately stops working when you try to open.

    Hello!

    I've been all around the internet trying to solve this problem, but nothing has worked so far.  When I try to start Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for Vista, (in general), it stops working at their opening saying the following:

    "Windows Movie Maker has stopped working".

    There has been a few times when it actually opens and I can work on my videos, however, it's very, very, rare and seems to happen randomly.

    I tried to open in safe mode, but it still fails to open.  I also tried to open .avi short and simple with WMM 6.0 files to see if it will be open, but that, generally, does not either.

    Once, I was able to open random and I have disabled all the filters on the Compatibility tab and temporarily activated only video filters that I needed.  That seemed to fix the problem for several days, and I could open Movie Maker 6.0 several times.  Sometimes it would freeze everything and save, or stop working when importing video files, but at least it would be open.  I was able to record some videos.  After a few days, my computer day and WMM 6.0 is more open more.  I don't know if yes or no update is the reason why Movie Maker 6.0 started crashing again, but it was the only thing that has changed on my computer while I could uncheck the Compatibility tab filters and open WMM 6.0. [Could uncheck all filters to be part of the problem?]

    I usually works with .mov files, and I read on how this type of file sometimes causes problems with Windows Movie Maker.  However, the problem normally occurs when I try to open the program (and if WMM opens, I can very well change .mov files).  I do not think that the file type is causing the crash, but I guess that's always a possibility...

    I also read that sometimes Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for vista doesn't work with all computers that have vista installed, and Windows Movie Maker 2.6 must be used to place.  Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is working fine on my computer, but it cannot change the .mov files, or record in HD.  I had horribly degrading the quality of the video with the conversions of files to use WMM 2.6.  Windows Movie Maker 6.0 is much better, on the rare occasions that it works.  Do you think I should use Windows Movie Maker 2.6 now?

    Here are two problem reports that appear more often when you try to open Windows Movie maker 6.0.  The window of support almost always said I need to update my computer again (even if there is no new update), or that it is a problem of security Data Execution Prevention.  Windows Movie Maker cannot be added to the list of exceptions to Data Execution Prevention, or I can check to see if the filters from the Compatibility tab are always disabled in the program, I don't know how to solve this problem...

    The "BEX" error happens much more frequently than the "APPCRASH" error  In addition, I have Windows Vista home premium installed and a 32-bit operating system.  I don't know how to read the problem reports, or if it's all the information you need.  I'm not very good with computers at all the... Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Very often, but not always, Code exception: c0000005 is a permissions access error, so have you tried right-clicking on the MM shortcut or .exe and selecting the option "Run As Administrator"?  Other times a reinstallation of the program crash can fix.  As you can not do with Movie Maker the next best option is to try the System File Checker.
