Problem_publishing VISTA MovieMaker freezes at 31%

Hi, when you try to publish so I can save it in a usable format (avi or wmv) edition starts o.k. to 31%, done with a decrease in time as treatment exercises... to 31%, it gets stuck and then time begins to increase. Let him all night in the hope, it could end-, but he just kept climbing to about 180 minutes at 15,000 and has not moved from 31% published running. I stopped, tried again several times. Opening and closing of the original file of WMM, save a new copy etc but does not.

Would appreciate it really all ideas that the file had hours and hours of editing camcorder source material, would be a pain to lose all the work... Thank you

Hi jennyforrest,

This happens with all you are trying to publish or just this one?

Step 1: First of all, you can follow the steps mentioned in the link below

When you use Movie Maker in Windows Vista to try to publish a video file of a recorded screen capture, the publishing process never ends

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/923946/

Step 2: This problem may be caused by an incompatible video filter is installed on the computer, follow the steps in Configure Movie Maker so that the incompatible video filter is not loaded.

Error message when you try to start Windows Movie Maker in Windows Vista: "Movie Maker has stopped working".

Please let us know if that makes a difference and Movie Maker freezes, or if you need further assistance.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

    KB915597 for Windows Defender update causes Windows Vista to freeze.  At all times, I have to restart my computer for this reason.  And I can't uninstall Windows Defender because it is now integrated into Windows Vista.  In addition, I can not uninstall the update.  If ever I have to reinstall windows again and uncheck automatic updates, so I can make sure that this update is downloaded or simply live with the question until Microsoft fixes it.  Microsoft has released a fix for this error yet?  There is nothing wrong with my laptop because I just erased the hard drive and reinstalled vista.  I actually discovered this by accident because I reinstalled my operating system before but this freeze happening started and I thought it was a problem of Dell Update.

    Hi all

    having some difficulties to install new updates for vista sp2 I recently bought a new dell xps 625 and installed all the updates correctly, but the last vista I came was the sp2 from vista!

    Solange install obtained 100% then the cpu is not responding and the clock on the pc freezes and the only way I can get it back is to unplug the cpu of the wall?

    Ive left in frozen state for more than 2 hours, thinking maybe it was a big update but still no joy?

    I have windows vista 64-bit home premium.

    Ive tried taking all anti-virus etc off cpu but still does the same thing?

    Help, please

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on
    Driver update (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right
    Click on - uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, this leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who will be generally
    be older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it) and
    Then, get new ones manually if you wish.

    ------------------------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check

  • Vista Start, freeze at loading green bar screen then blue and then restart

    Sorry if this is a repost, I look for a solution to this for 2 days on various forums and have not experienced this problem yet.
    I got my PC for about a year, it is a free version, it worked without any problems until a couple of weeks, where it started to slow down like crazy. Unfortunately, I was in College at the time and my brother does me on issues. It would essentially work normally (but a bit slow) and then freeze every few seconds. Once he was able to start - I think that the error message was that the boot files were corrupt or something, but it was an a stop.

    After about 3 weeks of slow driving, it has started to do the following:

    I turn it on and it tries to start. The progress bar green for microsoft vista comes up for a few seconds, then a blue screen of death hot flushes (too fast to read anything on this subject) upward and the PC restarts.
    If I try to start in safe mode it freezes while it lists the drivers
    its loading. The latest display driver is constantly crcdisk.sys. (I tried all security modes and last good config without result).

    I put in the recovery disc, choose the language and click Windows repair.
    The next dialog box is called System Recovery Options. The problem that I get here, it's that there are no operating system in the list. It says that I should look for the hard disk drivers, but I don't know how to find them. My drive is a 1 to seagate barracuda.

    Wierdly when I choose the option to install as if I was going to do a complete reinstall did it come with a disk of 1 TB on options and drive didn't spent the short seatools test. When I tried the seatools long test program frozen before the same test started.

    The hard drive has a lot of photos and I don't want to lose so I'm hesitant to do a complete reinstall.

    I also was not able to run a memory test because I can't find the memory test facility in my BIOS. I found once, but can't seem to figure out where it is more. The motherboard is the gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I think you have a hardware problem with your hard drive.  You need to consider (the system) to a competent computer repair shop for service, repair or replacement (or you can send it to the manufacturer for service - check on prices, warranties and other times before deciding).  A problem of crcdisk.sys is typical disc hard problem (but it may be other things) - but your problem description convince me that it's the hard drive.

    If you can make a drive on another computer, make a recovery disk using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with the burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD (perhaps made on another computer).  One of the options on this disc is a Test of memory, so you can at least try it - but the problem is probably not the RAM, but rather the hard drive.

    You can use Knoppixhttp://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (done from another computer).  This should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to back up your important data, unless the hard drive is so far that even if it won't let you. You can try to slave the drive to another computer and see if you can access the data in this way - if so, at least you will be able to backup your data.  If this isn't the case, I'm afraid only a data recovery technician can help and they are very expensive and do not guarantee the results - but the decision is yours.

    At this point, if you want you can try a reinstall full (if it works) have nothing to lose. If it works fine.  Is that the problem persists, then it's almost certainly the hard drive.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Vista Ultimate freezes

    I have a portable ZGN-Z591U Sony with Vista Ultimate (32 bit).  After a period of inactivity, usually about 45 minutes, Vista freezes.  To restart, the only way is to do a hard reset (now in the power button).  I've recently updated the Bios and Windows with no solution to the problem.  Any ideas?

    I would try starting from the the Vista CD to get to the recovery console and the command chkdsk from there. If you do not have the normal vista cd so your cell phone provider should have a recovery partition on the disk where you can always get the recovery from there console. You need to go beyond the question of chkdsk first as this is similar to the root of the problem.

    There is also a possibility at this stage, the hard disk may be failing. If you have important files on the drive that have not been backed up, I'd this precondition to make a diagnosis more just in case.
