My .wlmp file will not open in Windows Live Movie Maker
I started a video project in Windows Live Movie Maker and saved the project in a .wlmp file because I wasn't quite finished editing. When I came back the next day to finish the editing, I opened the file and I saw yellow signs on the entire project, and he says that the files are missing, and I have no idea how it happened, or how to get back them. I spent hours to edit this video and I really want to do it again. Can someone please?

they have imported into Movie Maker, also...
online, network, CD, DVD, flash drive, card memory?
Movie Maker does not actually archive copies of the source
files... the WLMP file simply records the path to the original
locations. If the files are moved, renamed, deleted, damaged
or are otherwise inaccessible... can't find the WLMP file
them.
If the source files are still available... it may be possible to
Right-click on the yellow icons, then access the current
location and restore the path.

Files in duplicate locations and Windows Live Movie Maker is not opening
I think that I dragged accidentally the document library tab in the Video Library tab (in the tab on the left menu). My docs & files are now both. If I delete one, it removes both. If I create a new, it does so in both. How to cancel this please?
In addition, at the same time, Windows Live Movie Maker no longer opens.
Libraries actually do hold all the files or folders, they combine their in a view for easy navigation. For example, my video library shows all the videos of three different hard disks, my roommate's computer records. But I can see all the videos in one view combined with the library.
To change the folders that appear inside a library, just right-click on the name of the library and choose Properties. Who let you out your video library documents.In regards to the Movie Maker, it gives you an error message? -

Video is not displayed in Windows Live Movie Maker - Windows 7
I have problems with Windows Live Movie Maker on Windows 7. After update to the last version, the preview window left remains black during audio playback. I tried various different clips of different cameras that have been known to work before, and yet they all have the same problem. Thumbnails are displayed on each clip, just no video. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if I have to download something (for example, a codec), I would have certainly preferred it to be from a trusted site. Thank you!

the .lnk files will not open in Windows XP
After installing I-Tunes, all the shortcuts do not work. I am running Windows XP. Whether on the desktop or in folders, shortcuts do not work.
How can I fix it?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Charles,
You can read the following article and try the fix for Windows XP and check if that helps:
The shortcut (.lnk file) is returned instead of the file or folder referenced by the path in the shortcut in the open air or in the Save dialog box in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003

The dialog box that you quoted says "Project file" in Windows Live Movie Maker
It would be a file with an extension WLMP. Or if the file was created with
an earlier version of Movie Maker, it can have an extension .mswmm.So... just to clarify... MP4 extension or WLMP or something else?
If the files are MP4, you will need to convert them to WMV format before
import into Movie Maker.There are many programs that can do conversions...
The following freeware is an example...:(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

Factory... you can open the program and
left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and

(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...

That should do it...

Original title: Windows Live Movie Maker
Hello! I have a problem with windows live movie maker. I had been using windows live movie maker before and was able to make several projects already. But recently I could no longer open my files and the following messages keep appearing on: "Windows Live Movie Maker has stopped working. A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. I downloaded the Windows Live Movie Maker program several times, but it does not work. Does this mean I can have deleted a file/program to do work and recover all the projects I've done? I remembered that once, I was removing a "Windows Live" in the program folder files because I wasn't happy with the Windows Live Messenger, kept popping up, which was not able to use, so I removed it from the list. Help, please!

After down loading the camera viedo, it will not be open for show, but it's there, ER (0x80004005) it says Director windows live how I do to reboot?
Have a look at the last 3 letters of the video you've imported to Windows Live Movie maker (WLMM).
That the last 3 letters represent the format of the video file. If the format is NOT supported by WLMM, he won't play it.Here are the formats supported by WLMM:
Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmvIf your video file format is not on the list above, google for a FREE video converter and it allows to convert your video file.
The best format to convert is WMV. The most reliable and foo-proof format.PS, It might be better if you posted in the section photos and videos:
