  • Message "Windows movie maker has stopped working".

    Original title: Windows Movie Maker

    When you use Windows Movie Maker - the application generates the error message "Windows movie maker has stopped working" and close.  What happened several times.  What can I do to prevent this?  I use Windows 7 and Movie Maker 2011.

    Not sure, but have you tried to reinstall WLMM, or perhaps fix?

    See - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938275/en-gb and try the repair option first.

    Also, make sure that your graphics card and your PC sound card drivers are up to date. Go to the manufacturers technical support for your PC brand and model site and see if there are newer drivers supported. If there is, and the repair does not help, try them. Make a restore point on your PC first, and if you like you should be able to "roll back" to your existing installation if you need to.

    You can also try a SFC/scannow to see if that detects and repairs problems of any OS if the above does not help.

    Well, I was very happy when the program doesn't stop after following your advice and unchecking above named filter. But then, after it scans the file (which is a progress!), he says he cannot continue because one or more of the files contains a codec that is not supported by AutoMovie. I don't even know what a codec IS. I know who was Kojak, and I know what is Kotex, but what the heck is a codec and how do I get one?

    Thank you!

    ==================================
    Maybe the following article offers some ideas:

    "What exactly is"Codec"and why would I ever need it?
    http://netforbeginners.about.com/od/multimedia/f/codec.htm

    It is difficult to know what codec, you may need to because it
    is based on the format of your source files. And it is possible
    You may have some compatibility issues with one or more
    source files.

    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

    It may be interesting to try to download and install a codec pack...
