I was working on a project on windows movie maker, and now I don't see what I was doing!

It was working fine but the preview screen does not reproduce the video I created, everything works, but the button play! It is well my clicks, but it does not play what I do?

Mary - Hello and welcome to the forum... I put your two messages together because otherwise you may well end up distorted!

I'm on W7 and think I can use a more recent version of MM - and I don't know if it works on Vista. I am aware that the old version users have experienced difficulties then it may be worth checking the site of MS if a newer version is available for the Vista operating system...

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads  (look for the Movie-Maker)

Apart from that you might try running the repair tool by going to Control Panel - programs - uninstall a program...

Select Windows Essentials/right click Uninstall and you will get the option to 'fix' - which - it may take a bit of time and when it is finished, restart your pc.

Looks like you have saved your project files - they should be assigned. -Cheers. Ric.

  • Cannot open a project in Windows Movie Maker after the backup in Windows DVD Maker

    I imported with success of media in Windows Movie Maker, Movie published by using Windows DVD Maker as a guest just so that I could see how it would look.  I was able to view what I had engraved on a DVD and was very happy about how he already produces.  When I returned to Windows Movie Maker and tried to open my project to continue adding multimedia elements to it, I can't open it - it tells me that it is not a valid file in Windows Movie Maker.  Can find my project in My Documents in the category Videos, I'm still not able to open it.  I wonder if I shouldn't have saved in Windows DVD Maker.  I hope that I'm not "all over again.

    I would greatly greatly appreciate it if anyone can help.  It is a very special project for a class reunion.

    This is the first time I used a forum so I hope I've submitted it correctly.

    Thank you!

    NancyLouse,

    Windows DVD Maker and Movie Maker store files with different file extensions.  This means that if you named the file 'file Movie Maker' and the DVD Maker 'file' file the real file names would actually file. MSWMM and file. MSDVD

    To display the extensions on all the files follow these steps:
    -Click on the ORB to start and Control Panel
    -In Control Panel, click Classic view in the upper left corner
    -Click on Folder Options, click view
    -Scroll to "Hide Extensions for known Types file" and uncheck this box

    The search in the folder now where you saved these files or use the search function, you should see the 2 different files.

    What version of Windows are you using?  If the Windows Vista Ultimate and the file has been deleted somehow you can be lucky.

    Vista Ultimate is a feature called previous versions.  To restore the file back to it's previous state, you can do a right click on the folder where the document has been stored (if the Documents may start, right-click on Documents) then go to properties

    -Click the previous versions and you will see the dates corresponding to previous versions of the file you are looking at.
    -Select a date and time that corresponds to when the file in this folder was in operational condition and double-click the file to open it

    Find the file in the folder newly open and drag the file to your desktop (be sure not to drag to the exact location where the file was initially as not to overwrite the file).

    I hope this helps

  • Windows Movie Maker - music is not playing little matter what I do

    I'm making a movie for my best friend for her birthday. I'm trying to use some of our favorite songs as background music. I'm going to and upload music and it is important, but when I put it in the movie and I play it, no music plays. I know that the film plays because my images in the film show the way they are supposed to. The volume on my computer is in place, and I went through all the audio levels and volume. I went upstairs, hit the clip and have a level of hihgh audio in the editing mode, I hit chronology and went to sound levels, and it is up. I even checked the properties of the songs I am trying to use, and they present themselves as a .mp3. When I went on google and other things to see what could be the problem, a page said that even if the music is in .mp3 form and other forms that work with Windows Movie Maker, they can simply not work. However, some of the songs I am using, I have used in other films I've done, and they do not work yet. So I don't understand what the problem is, and I've checked everything. Is there something that I don't check? Help, please! I really need to solve this problem, because I use movie maker for both school projects, and this movie would be amazing as a birthday gift.

    Hi monkeygurlsurfs,

    If you get the sound from your pc in other programs, the problem is not hardware. Did you of updates or Windows updates or any software installed since the last time that your audio worked? Usually, if the audio doesn't work, is it a device driver conflict. Make sure you have the updated driver for your sound card from the manufacturer's website. Also, check your device manager to see if the audio device appears normal (no yellow exclamation point). You can try to perform a check of the filesystem (CFS) to see if there are any corrupt files that Windows can correct:

    The System File Checker tool:

    To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1 click on Start -> click on all programs -> click on Accessories -> - click on command prompt, Select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue.

    2. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow .

    3. when the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

    If the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    1. click on Start, type System Restore in the Search box, and then click System Restore in the programs list. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue.

    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point, and then click Next.

    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    4. click on Finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Try these procedures and let us know how you do. If you're still having problems, we will be happy to help you further.

  • Windows movie maker and xvid codec!

    Hello

    I'm new to WMM, but no more contact.  I use WMM and after that I get the project done, I publish it and lower half is green and the top half is shrivelled.  I would be YouTube and google it and they said to uncheck the Xvid.  Then I go to tools, options, compatibility, then I try to uncheck and I do not have a XVID but I don't have a Divx, so I uncheck that but everything is done my files imported in the section overview of WMM go to a black screen with audio.

    I have another suggestion to go to start - all programs - xvid - (at this point, I downloaded it) but I can't open the program and they wanted me to go deconded converter (or something of the sort).  I'm trying this and divx, but they are not the same at the user level.  I have a product called 3ivx, but once again it is not the same on a user level!
