Since it was just started is a problem on my end, or with the product? Spoke of a M/S tech and he told me to download the new windows live movie maker, but have the same problem. What I am doing wrong?

• Error when you try to publish movies with Windows Movie Maker: another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computer. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again.

  Movie Maker will not film because of "another user is running Movie Maker on this computor... publish »

  I'm trying to publish a movie on this computor in Windows Movie Maker. The files are .wmv with a band his .wav and are all stored on my computor. I performed this task with success several times and there is enough free space on the computor.

  When I click on publish, there are a few seconds where he tries to publish, but then the program goes into a gel and the dialog box appears with the following: "another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computor. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again".

  When I click Close, there is an icon of wmv on my desk with the title of my project, but it is empty. I am the only user on this computor and I am puzzled as to why this should be implemented. I tried to turn the filters but nothing helped. One thing that I tried was to publish the band sound and the titles and credits without video files and I found it worked.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you Volenteer J. How would you like to know if a .wmv file is corrupt? Is there something I can do to click the .wmv files that tell me if they are corrupt? I need to identify the files that are causing my problem.

  ==================================================
  Sorry... but it seems that I have more questions than answers.

  You said initially that you could publish the soundtrack and titles with success...
  I was wondering if you tried to add a .wmv file to see if you could publish?

  What was the source of the. WMV files? They are all from the same source?

  They were converted from another format? If_Yes_ maybe another
  Converter would be worth a try.

  You change them widely? (split, rotation, transitions...)

  There is a possibility that you could import the Windows Media .wmv files
  Encoder and convert them to... .WMV to .wmv. Seems pointless, I know...
  but it would create a new .version of the. WMV files and can fix that
  perhaps never the problem.

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

  Windows Movie Maker cannot publish the movie to the specified location. Check the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the publishing location is still available, that there is enough available disk space, and then try again.

  It's all the source files are still in use, and I don't have any changed or moved to new locations since I imported in WMM.

  The publish location is my office then yes its still there.

  I have more than 170 GB left on my C drive, and this video is only about 600 MB in the best format possible.

  The boot routine can be tried later if you wish, it is more than a General diagnostic procedure.  Your latest information makes me think it could be a type of Codec problem, but I'm not 100% sure of that either, however check that might be worth a try?

  For your information, Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is just a "water-down" version designed for computers cannot run the built-in Windows Movie maker 6.0

  Windows Movie maker 6.0 comes with Vista.
  2.6 MM Windows does not come with Vista. It is not a 'new' program. It is a compromise version.
  Excerpt from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=34
  Overview

  Movie Maker 2.6 is for Windows Vista users whose computer cannot run the Vista's Movie Maker version.

  To test whether your computer can run Vista's Movie Maker version:

  1. on the start menu, click all programs.
  2. click on Windows Movie Maker.

  If Movie Maker starts, you must not download version 2.6.

  If you get an error message that says: "Windows Movie Maker cannot start because your video card does not support the required level of hardware acceleration or hardware acceleration is not available", download and install Movie Maker 2.6.

  .............................................................................................................................................

  Windows Live Movie Maker is better, contrary to what you feel. Maybe, you're just not used to it?

  How can you install version 2.6? Go to the net.

  If you like Windows Movie Maker 6.0 so, here's a tutorial to install it in Windows 7 computers.
