Movie Maker black screens. AVI after nVidia update

I have been using Windows Live Movie Maker (15.4.3538.0513) for several months with no problems.  I've updated my nVidia drivers last night and now I get a black screen when you import .avi files into Movie Maker.  It worked before.  I did a system restore to the previous version of the video driver and Movie Maker is capable of processing the .avi files.  I also tried to reinstall the codec files, but I am at a loss on where to go next.  Help?

.wmv files seem to be working before and after the upgrade from nVidia, but FRAPS capture .avi files, and I'm not interested in going the extra step to convert - it worked fine before.

Looks like roll back the video driver is the answer. Unless you have
a specific program that requires the view is not necessary to press to update
anyway.

Now, I see that you use Windows Live Movie Maker and this is why
There is no compatibility tab. I guess I think of Vista Movie Maker 6 when
I see a question of Vista.

FWIW... .avi files can be converted to a lot in most of the converters and
insofar as quality loss... the files will be converted in any case when Live Movie
Machine saved as WMV.

Vista Movie Maker 6 (better IMHO application) can record in DV - AVI.

The following chart shows where the DV - AVI option.

  • Empty (black) screen boot after Windows updates

    I had this problem on two computers this week... until now. Run windows update after I restart the computer. When the computer reboots, they can start to a blank screen (black). These were not updated video card basis. Also, I tried to use the safe mode, but it crashes on MUP. SYS. I ran chkdsk... and who has not fixed it. Any ideas other then a new installation? Thanks for your help!

    Kevin_C_K,
    You said you ran chkdsk and it didn't fix it, but it will report all the problems?
    If you are still having this problem here is a couple of things to try (if you haven't already done so).
    Run the sfc/scannow utility.
    When you have run chkdsk if you do not use the /r switch, then repeat the it like Chkdsk/r

    After the clean installation, update you all hardware drivers before you start the Windows updates? Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • want to m6 sleekbook: screen flashing after windows update

    After the update windows 8.1 and later to win 10 screen flashes all the time between desktop screen and blue, already install all updates of HP with the intell and Windows safe mode - the same situation, all reinstalled video drivers by myself, but still no result,

    is it possible to solve this problem without getting windows to the previous version? or reinstall the entire system is the only solution?

    Hi @nazik_UA ,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question on your HP ENVY m6 Sleekbook and issues with a screen flashing after an update.

    Here is a link to put the laptop in Safe Mode. This occurs in safe mode?

    You can try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix updates that do not come through Windows 10.  Please restart the laptop twice to make sure that all updates are completed!

    Here is a document that shows how update the drivers that do not work correctly with Windows 10.

    If this did not help, you need to reinstall the operating system.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

  • Windows 7 starts with a black screen (since the last update), if I go to the Task Manager.

    Windows 7 starts with a black screen (since the last update), if I go to the Task Manager and processes there are 2 sessions of "run once container" if I stop or another (they are two different size) windows lights up normally.

    Can someone help me please?

    Hello

    Thank you for the information.

    System Restore helped to heal the cause (last option of course)

    not sure about the Windows update that seemed to start the problem, but it is 2 instances of run once Wrapper were running.   I have found that if black screen you started the Task Manager, then selected and close it, either run it once windows Wrappers would begin.

    Anyway thanks for your help, we are now healed.

  • Windows Movie Maker preview screen is black! (is not black when read by Windows Movie Player)

    Hello.

    I used Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for about a month now to make videos and then upload them to YouTube.
    I had no problems at all until a few days before, when Vista says it wants to install an update (Service Pack 2), so it installed and then came up on Windows Movie Maker and when I tried to make a video, the preview screen was black and you could only hear the sound (no video). The clips are a gesture of challenge of the .avi files, but when I put them in Windows Movie Maker, they turn into audio files for some reason any! :(
    Please help I need solve this problem as soon as possible!
    Thank you

    Open the Device Manager by following the steps in the first link I provided in the previous answer, and then expand the graphicsoption. Your graphics driver is listed under this category. If you double click the driver that is on the list, it will open the driver properties dialog box. You can go to the driver tab it and then click on the option to restore the drivers to roll your graphics driver back and see if this helps you.

    You can also uninstall and reinstall the driver from there. To reinstall the driver, you will need to download it from the website of the manufacturer of the computer.

  • Black screen persists after the recent update of the BIOS

    ENVY of HP TouchSmart M7-J010DX

    Hello

    I recently received an update through HP who instructed me to update my BIOS, I did. Now, after I turn on my machine, I don't see is a black screen. The power light is on and the fan seems to work (I can feel the warmth of the event). I have a pretty good feeling that this recent BIOS update may have done something that has caused this, and I would like to cancel the updates to the BIOS, if possible.

    I looked at and tried everything what I found on this page of the site of troubleshooting HP, except for the part of memory modules as I did of the latest changes to the memory modules. None of these suggestions helped with the black screen problem.

    The machine was reconditioned at the factory, and I've had it for about a month, but began to use it recently. The only changes I have made are on the HARD drive: I recently picked up a new SSD, added to the machine and makes the HARD drive, the machine came with a secondary drive (after wiping). Everything worked perfectly well until the update to the BIOS.

    I don't know what else I should do/try at this point.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello Mrstenter and thank you for your response.

    Unfortunately, I saw this page, you suggested before posting, tried and it doesn't work.

    As a matter of fact, I had to return to HP for repair the machine. Following the conversation with a technical support engineer, we agreed that the problem is the update of the BIOS HP pushed out.

    In short, the update of the BIOS HP pushed to brick my machine, and I had to send to HP to have restored it I couldn't find anything else to deal with the update of the BIOS on my own.

    I appreciate your attempt to address the issue, however. I hope your solution helps others, but he couldn't help me.

  • black screen empty after update of lollipop!

    My phone is: Z3 Compact Xperia

    After updating my phone from 4.4.4 android. Lollipop 5.0.2 I get a blank black screen of House, and I can't access anything in the phone except notifications and settings when scrolling from top.
    The 3 buttons below are there but do not work.

    This happens randomly about 2 - 3 times daily for no specific reason and the only way to fix it is to reboot the phone by the power button, otherwise the update is great and everything works fine.

    Someone knows how to fix this please?

    Hello guys,.

    In fact, I did not apply the solution that I got scared to lose my data if I did.

    But I noticed that this happens generally when I connect to wifi bluetooth or at home of my car... so I tried the apps no matter what behavior related to connecting to wireless networks and or has been disabled the uninstalled, and re-installed them.

    Guess what... It works beautifully!

    applications that have been the cause of the problem:

    1. smart app lock (it was disabling the lock automatically when I connect to bluetooth auto)

    2. a built-in feature in the software, which is turn off wifi when I leave the House enabled by GPS I think.

    but I have still some errors during calls, including why I could reconsider the system repair and can report this problem in an independent post.

    I hope that could help someone...

    See you soon,.

    Might be interesting to try to convert the .avi files to the
    format .wmv before you import it into Movie maker.

    The following freeware can convert:

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

    Format Factory
    http://www.pcfreetime.com/
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the last screen)

    First... 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...

  • Boots Vista 64 Ultimate SP2 (with domain) to the mouse cursor black screen white after that several failure system restores

    Who can help me to WHO:

    Sorry for fast hiking, misspellings, it's late and I do not use my normal computer to this problem I have.

    I am currently sympthym to start the black screen with a white cursor (furniture, put in construction in the middle) with my laptop Dell Studio 15 (model 1537) that running Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP2.  He started tonight after repeatively, I tried to restore to a date prior to the System Restore tool.  I wanted to get back to Monday due to some software installations.  However, each attempt to restore failed and then after the 3rd or 4th attempt, when I tried to restart, I was faced with a window very long stop, and I was impacient and pressed and held the power button to stop it.  Subsequent starts, I've known this problem with no solution having been found for the moment.

    I tried several things at first, such that I tried Ctrl-alt-del, control-shift-esc, blindly connect with my fingerprint.  I tried windows key combos, but no luck.  Still stuck with screen black mouse cursor

    I have my vista ultimate 64 bit installation disc, and I started with the dvd and tried to fix it.  Automatic repair tool says he finds a problem with my start and had a difficulty to which I applied and rebooted.  But it did not work.

    Then, I tried to boot from the dvd again and did the repair option again, this time, Autostart reparir tool see nothing wrong with my start and I tried a system restore, but alas, it failed after having worked for a bit.  Telling something about restoration being corrupted.  I tried command prompt (X:\Source) and make chkdsk c: /p (which btw, implies / f as well) and it found some errors and repaired them or what not was wrong to write to newspapers, even if and then after long waiting, returns to the c: prompt.  No effect.

    On subsquent dvd boots, I tried the option to command line renaming a "Logs" directory and create a directory "Logs" empty (which was mentioned in some research online and even in a few posts here), but that has not solved the problem for me either.

    Dvd later boots, I have tried regedit solution method, where you will load a SYSTEM key and set some sort of AUTHORITY NT set... but when I checked key, she was already the correct setting.

    Then I learned that I could press the "Shift" key repeatedly while mode cursor screen black/white/and try the propmpt for keys pop-up to sticky.  But he said no 'link' as many instructions in this message box.  When I click 'Yes' to sticky keys, nothing is displayed and the pop-up closes.  Ditto for the 'no '.  There is no mention of accessibility settings.

    I tried all modes of security, but just a white cursor plu experience.  I have tried to use "last known configuration', 'debug mode', 'start logging mode', mode"disable driver signing"and again, the same thing, the cursor of the black and white screen.  I'm really at my wit's end, and I don't want REALLY to re - install everything (operating system, programs, settings, etc.) ... I did not back upward, and I use this machine without problem for more than a year.

    I remember once XP has a "repair install" mode which was really obvious to end users, since it looked almost identical to a clean install.  I have also heard (but can't really confirm) Vista has no such a fashion, that, by clicking on install, he repaired to the simular OS to XP disks how would repair their facilities.  I can't risk my data/programs/settings for accidental clean installation.  Help, please!

    Sincerely,
    Robert Eckman

    According to me, put it back in place, is the only solution to your problem!
