Windows Movie Maker has frozen, any solution?

I was working to make a video with Windows Movie Maker. Took me a few hours to make. Then when I finished I clicked on save movie file. The window froze. I can still use other windows but not this one. Is there a way to unfreeze it without losing my video?

Hi Robert,.

· What is the size of the movie file you created?

· Did you receive an error message or error code when the computer froze?

    Hey Elaine,.

    I suggest that you put your computer in a clean boot state and check if there is another program that is causing the Windows Movie Maker to freeze.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    Note: Once the diagnosis has been made, put the computer in normal condition by following the steps in "steps to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state."

    If there is no specific program that causes this problem, then please uncheck the program since the start of the System Configuration utility.

    Also, check the event logs viewer for any errors of follow-up when the Windows Movie Maker crashes.

    Windows Movie Maker comes pre-installed with Vista, and according to the guidelines of your error message, I would say that you have Vista.

  • Message "Windows movie maker has stopped working".

    Original title: Windows Movie Maker

    When you use Windows Movie Maker - the application generates the error message "Windows movie maker has stopped working" and close.  What happened several times.  What can I do to prevent this?  I use Windows 7 and Movie Maker 2011.

    Not sure, but have you tried to reinstall WLMM, or perhaps fix?

    See - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938275/en-gb and try the repair option first.

    Also, make sure that your graphics card and your PC sound card drivers are up to date. Go to the manufacturers technical support for your PC brand and model site and see if there are newer drivers supported. If there is, and the repair does not help, try them. Make a restore point on your PC first, and if you like you should be able to "roll back" to your existing installation if you need to.

    You can also try a SFC/scannow to see if that detects and repairs problems of any OS if the above does not help.

    Message: My windows stopped filmmaker working within the last week, began when the error message "the collections of file is not valid or is damaged. A new empty collections file has been created. When I try and import a file of any image type or otherwise, the file is not imported and the error message ends with "unknown error."
    So far WMM worked without fault, as full support has been removed for XP I am now unable to get all the patches. There is also no file conversion to allow to allow the import of files. Times, error message "class not registered"?

    If you can open Movie Maker... try to go to... Tools / Options /.

  • Windows Movie Maker has an upgrade that is compatible with MP4 video format?

    Director of windows has an update that is compatible with MP4 video formats?

    You posted in a forum of Win XP, so I guess
    you run Movie Maker 2.1.

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv or dv - avi
    Audio - wav, wma, wmv

    Best bet for your MP4 files would be to convert

  • Windows Movie Maker 6.0 Vista immediately stops working when you try to open.

    Hello!

    I've been all around the internet trying to solve this problem, but nothing has worked so far.  When I try to start Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for Vista, (in general), it stops working at their opening saying the following:

    "Windows Movie Maker has stopped working".

    There has been a few times when it actually opens and I can work on my videos, however, it's very, very, rare and seems to happen randomly.

    I tried to open in safe mode, but it still fails to open.  I also tried to open .avi short and simple with WMM 6.0 files to see if it will be open, but that, generally, does not either.

    Once, I was able to open random and I have disabled all the filters on the Compatibility tab and temporarily activated only video filters that I needed.  That seemed to fix the problem for several days, and I could open Movie Maker 6.0 several times.  Sometimes it would freeze everything and save, or stop working when importing video files, but at least it would be open.  I was able to record some videos.  After a few days, my computer day and WMM 6.0 is more open more.  I don't know if yes or no update is the reason why Movie Maker 6.0 started crashing again, but it was the only thing that has changed on my computer while I could uncheck the Compatibility tab filters and open WMM 6.0. [Could uncheck all filters to be part of the problem?]

    I usually works with .mov files, and I read on how this type of file sometimes causes problems with Windows Movie Maker.  However, the problem normally occurs when I try to open the program (and if WMM opens, I can very well change .mov files).  I do not think that the file type is causing the crash, but I guess that's always a possibility...

    I also read that sometimes Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for vista doesn't work with all computers that have vista installed, and Windows Movie Maker 2.6 must be used to place.  Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is working fine on my computer, but it cannot change the .mov files, or record in HD.  I had horribly degrading the quality of the video with the conversions of files to use WMM 2.6.  Windows Movie Maker 6.0 is much better, on the rare occasions that it works.  Do you think I should use Windows Movie Maker 2.6 now?

    Here are two problem reports that appear more often when you try to open Windows Movie maker 6.0.  The window of support almost always said I need to update my computer again (even if there is no new update), or that it is a problem of security Data Execution Prevention.  Windows Movie Maker cannot be added to the list of exceptions to Data Execution Prevention, or I can check to see if the filters from the Compatibility tab are always disabled in the program, I don't know how to solve this problem...

    Very often, but not always, Code exception: c0000005 is a permissions access error, so have you tried right-clicking on the MM shortcut or .exe and selecting the option "Run As Administrator"?  Other times a reinstallation of the program crash can fix.  As you can not do with Movie Maker the next best option is to try the System File Checker.

  • Windows Movie Maker 6.0 won't let me import

    My Windows Movie Maker for Vista (I guess 6.0) does not allow me to import any media. It is a new problem. He worked at a couple of days and all of a sudden does not allow me to import files that she allowed me to import before. After that I tried to import, it says that it cannot because of "an unknown error." If I try to import a second time, and then it says that Windows Movie Maker has stopped responding. The same thing happens when I try to delete the files from the imported section (ones I've imported before and are still there from when he worked).

    Unless someone knows what's going on, I was going to just uninstall and reinstall if it was free, but could not find the 6.0 download.

    Hi Powderdd,

    You cannot uninstall Director of vista because it is part of the operating system.

    This error may be due to some compatibility issue, you can try to update the codec on your computer, and then try to import. If it fails, you can check if the file format is supported by media player.
