Unable to access Mover Maker.

I tried to open windows Movie Maker today after using the program yesterday. However, I could not access the program. a message appears saying that a session was already in use by the computer and this session should be closed before I could open up Maker Mover. How you access the program to close? Thank you.

Two possible solutions...

(1) open the Windows Task Manager / processes tab...

Complete the process on all instances of: moviemk.exe

(2) in the case of failure the problem... try to restart your computer...

  • Unable to use Movie Maker 2.1 to make my own video compilations of my videos converted families (converted with USB 2.0 TV BOX - InterVideo WinDVR).

    The newly created files seem to import no problem... but when I try to preview... the sound plays very well but there is no video... only in black on the preview screen (the few times I tried this I had to close Movie Maker).

  • I created a movie in movie maker xp - how to access the movie with Windows movie maker 7?

    I want to access the movie file and continue working on it.  Movie Maker (MM) W7 does not open my movie file 1-1/2 years.

    I have a new PC with W7 - I also tried to open MM in virtual XP mode. No luck. There is an MM program in XP mode, but it does not open.  I was charged correctly MM in XP mode from the internet. Loaded, it does not open.

    Is there a way to convert the file MM XP to W7 MM? Much time was spent in a series of films when I was with my old PC with XP and I'm guessing that the XP of MM version now I can't access the files!

    Help!

    No guarantee but something you could try...

    There are two older downloadable versions of Movie Maker
    that will run on Windows 7... Maybe one of them would be open
    your. MSWMM Movie Maker project file. (you do not have XP
    Mode for these)

    And... you must have copies of 'all' (Photos source files,
    Video clips, Audio clips that were in the project). If you are
    success by opening the project file... you will see red Xs.

    Right-click the Xs and navigate to the location where you
    saved the source files to restore the path.

    * Proceed at your own risk *.

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

  • Movie Maker fails with general access denied error

    Windows Movie Maker 6 in Windows Vista SP2 32 bit produces a general access denied error and does not run when an attempt is made to run by normal methods. Right click on the shortcut or icon and choosing "Run as Administrator" results in the successful launch of the program.

    I went to the properties of Moviemk.exe and given full control permissions to the single user and also to the administrator, but the file still does not start by double-clicking.

    Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Thank you

    Ron Carruthers

    Hello Ron_C,

    In Windows Vista and Windows 7, the number of items must be run in administrative mode. Even logged on as administrator, you are running as a standard user.

    The Movie Maker 2.6 installer must be run with administrator privileges.

    1. Select the language
    2. click on the download button.
    3. click on "Run" to start the installation.

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows movie maker 2.6 General access denied error

    OK, I downloaded Director windows 2.6 for my computer windows vista... I did everything I could to fix the software and restarting the computer... How do I get windows 2.6 Director work? I.e. when I click on the shortcut on my desktop, that is to say the general access denied error... what should I do?

    Hello mercercountyairsoftarmy,

    After uninstalling Movie Maker 2.6, try the following.

    Check to see if there are any corrupt system files.
    Click Start
    Open an elevated command prompt.

    To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
    At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    SFC/scannow

    This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

    Then restart your system.

    Pease refer to (KB) knowledge base article if you find corrupted files:
    Article 929833 - how to use the System File Checker tool to resolve missing or damaged on Windows Vista or Windows system files

    Then, go to the file setup.exe and select run as administrator.

    Please answer back with an update.

    Sincerely,

  • Windows Live Movie Maker-how access slowed down effect

    movie maker slow?

    Slow Motion is a tool of the mounting base video... I do not understand? Why include a video editing software that only the most basic functions?

    Hey tug luke,.

    1. use Windows movie maker or Windows live movie maker?

    If you use Windows Live Movie Maker it has no available Slow Down effect.

    Only Windows Movie Maker v2.6 has that effect. I recommend that you download Windows Movie Maker 2.6 If you want access to the effect of "slow down, half.

    To make your video more slowly by using this version of Windows Movie Maker, you must use the effect "slow down, half. On the table of the storyboard / timeline, select the video clip, picture, or title to which you want to add the effect. Click on 'Tools' and then click 'effects '. In the "Contents" pane, click the effect you want to add (in this case, "slow down, half"). You can click on 'Play' under the preview monitor to see a preview of what looks like the effect, or simply click and drag the clip to the video or photo.

  • Sorry, unable to save your movie. Find missing files or delete the unusable items in your project and then try again. "Error: 0 x 87160129" during video editing in Windows Movie Maker/Windows Live Movie Maker

    I use the same device which was used to make movies in the past with no problems. The error message is sorry, unable to save your movie. Find missing files or delete the unusable items in your project and then try again. Error: 0 x 87160129

    I've never had any problems with this before and made more than 100 movies using WLMM or WMM. Thanks for any help. Would that my camera settings? I use a Lumix.

    I just found out what the problem is freakin ' and the solution. If the inserted videos have different "video codec" then it will not work!

    Before adding videos to Movie Maker, throw in a video converter and convert them all. (Even if the original format is WMV, convert again to WMV) that will ensure the output videos have the same codec!
    This solved the problem for me, hope, it does for you too...
  • Unable to capture HD video using Windows Movie Maker or Cyberlink Power Director of Canon HV30 on I.Link (firewire)

    Canon HV30 HDV Capture Issues Firewire in Win 7 (64-bit)

    There seems to be a problem with Windows 7 (64 bit) in the HD video capture from a Canon HV30 on I.Link (firewire). The camera is detectable, but I am unable to capture videos HD using Windows Movie Maker or Cyberlink Power Director. All the drivers and the software updated.

    Same camera, same editing works very well under Win XP.

    Someone at - he a workarouonds?

    (1) the question arose on January 20, 2010, when I got my new computer (Dell XPS 9000) WIN 7 (64-bit) and I first tried to capture video, I had already shot with the Canon Vixia HV - 30.

    (2) the updated capture in place according to the manual of Canon, using the firewire interface to download video using Power Director 7 or Windows Movie Maker.

    -Power Director 7 is able to detect and control the camera, however once the capture begins an error message appears saying that the i-link on the camera mode is not compatible with the Strip to be captured. Verified media is HDV (60i) and playback camera settings are all correct.

    -Windows Moview Maker is able to detect and control the camera, however, no video is captured and no error message appears.

    (3) will try to reinstall the drivers for the HV30.

    Kind regards

  • Unable to download Windows Movie Maker 2.1

    With Windows XP, Windows Movie Maker 2.1 should be automatically downloaded with SP2.   I have Windows XP and use Movie Maker for a few years. Today, I had to do a destructive system recovery. The recovery got Windows XP (SP 1).  After that recovery was complete I downloaded and installed all Windows updates essential, including the SP 2 and 3, but I still don't have Windows Movie Maker 2.1. I went to Windows updates several times and tried to find Movie Maker without success. The date of search engine update takes me to the elbow that lead me to updates of Windows where I can not find the Movie Maker download.

    It is without a doubt part of SP2 and do it. It is perhaps missing in the menu accessories.

    Search for "C:\Program Movie Maker\moviemk.exe".

    If she's here, create your own shortcut.

  • Unable to save film on computer with Windows movie maker problem

    I tried to record a movie on my computer. But every time I try, it says: "your movie is recorded on a recordable CD, rather than save it on my computer. What is the problem? He started this a few days ago. Also it will never be updated windows movie maker? I am running windows XP, service pack 3

    Sorry... I've never seen this problem before. One thing you
    could try would be to go to... Tools / Options / Compatibility

    Try saving again.

    In addition, if there is a CD in your burner... try to remove it.

    Beyond that... all I could suggest would be to make a

  • Unable to import video clips format .mts for Windows Movie Maker

    I downloaded some video footage to my office at the top of a camera. I tried to import it into Movie Maker off the file to my desktop but without success. The files are of MTS

    Movie Maker doesn't support mts, which is a form of HD video file. How to properly edit these files without loss of resolution is to use a burner to Editor/Blu-ray HD such as Sony Vegas Pro 9, which is very expensive and complicated. There are programs to convert mts and other HD of old formats files, but they usually cause loss of resolution. There are a few players, such as some versions deluxe Cyberlink PowerDVD which will play Blu - ray discs and isolated from the HD files, but you need a fairly fast computer with plenty of memory to play well on high-resolution Blu - ray.

    I'm guessing that you saved the. MSWMM Movie Maker project files?

    The problem is that the. MSWMM project file does not include your
    source files... (Photos, video clips, Audio clips)... and without the
    the original source files you have nothing to work with.

    To start a new project... try to go on... File / import into collections... and
    Navigate to the files you want to import.
