Windows Movie Maker preview screen is black! (is not black when read by Windows Movie Player)

Hello.

I used Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for about a month now to make videos and then upload them to YouTube.
I had no problems at all until a few days before, when Vista says it wants to install an update (Service Pack 2), so it installed and then came up on Windows Movie Maker and when I tried to make a video, the preview screen was black and you could only hear the sound (no video). The clips are a gesture of challenge of the .avi files, but when I put them in Windows Movie Maker, they turn into audio files for some reason any! :(
Please help I need solve this problem as soon as possible!
Thank you

Open the Device Manager by following the steps in the first link I provided in the previous answer, and then expand the graphicsoption. Your graphics driver is listed under this category. If you double click the driver that is on the list, it will open the driver properties dialog box. You can go to the driver tab it and then click on the option to restore the drivers to roll your graphics driver back and see if this helps you.

You can also uninstall and reinstall the driver from there. To reinstall the driver, you will need to download it from the website of the manufacturer of the computer.

It will be useful.

  • Preview screen turns black when you use the slider to soften ultra key

    Hello

    I'm working on a video, including a greenscreen. That is why I use the ultra key to make the transparent green screnscreen. Whenever I touch the slider "soften" Ultra key, windos preview blackens. I can't get it back to normal until I restart the first. Version 2015.4.

    This issue is being investigated. So far it has been reproduced with acceleration GPU on Windows. What is the case on your system? Also, could you provide your operating system, graphics card and if you use CUDA or OpenCL?

    A possible solution is to go into project settings > General and set the Mercury Playback Engine software only, when you use the parameter to soften.

    Thank you.

    The reason for your problem is that iMovie version 9 is not compatible with El Capitan.  El Capitan only works with iMovie 10 (with the purple icon).

    iMovie 10 is very different from previous versions and has lost some features but won others.  The negative publicity is mainly about frustration with the changes to the user interface, help the poorest to burn DVDs, corrected aspect ratio 16:9 and the fall of some older cameras support.  Your camera model is shown as it is supported.  (I preferred iMovie 10 and went in 2013).

    When you run the first iMovie 10 it will offer you to update all of your iMovie projects 9 existing.  It will create a new iMovie 10 library but let your iMovie 9 project files and unchanged events so that they could, for example, be copied to a mac running Yosemite and be used in iMovie 9.

    Hello

    I know this problem, it s just a bug with media player and the graphics drivers (mainly the media player causes the error it s). Please, if you want to watch something on TV and then playback must be STOPPED BEFORE you from the screen. Once you have changed the screen, enable playback and it should work.

    Otherwise, go on www.videolan.org website, download the latest version of VLC Player and do it with him, it should work for sure. I never start playback of a movie or something when the screen not changed front on television that the screen alone.

  • my screen goes black when I plug in my HDMI cable

    I have never had a problem with the help of my my TV HDMI cable to watch movies from my laptop.  I do not know whether the windows update is causing this problem, but when I plug in my HDMI cable to my laptop, the screen goes black and the TV receives no signal.

    Hi, I had the same problem when I plugged the hdmi for the first time that I chose the 'graphics options-> output-> TV' at first by right-clicking on the desktop. Later I selected "change pc settings" section of charms and the selected tab devices add a device and while the laptop was looking I have connected the hdmi cable. This is how I got to the TV screen.
    probably, you will need to turn off the TV and the laptop first. Then put on the tv and select the desired hdmi option before you put on the laptop and pressing on the ' logo window + p "or"fn + f4"keys. Lets c if it works

  • Re: Satellite L350 - screen goes black when I try to play

    I have a laptop Toshiba L350 Sat. Its currently running on Windows Vista. Caused by a virus, I recently had to reinstall Windows. The laptop is now free from virus.

    My problem is that when I try to play some games that I have the screen goes black and I have to do a forced restart using the power button. There are no other noise running in the background, and Ctrl alt del does not work either.

    Is or has anyone else suffered from this problem and if so how they remedy? I'll try to re-installthe drivers when I get home this morning, but I can't think of anything that could be the cause of the problem...

    Any help would be appreciated

    Hello

    Which disc you used to reinstall Windows?

    Normally, if you use the all Toshiba Recovery disk should work fine after that. These parameters are pre-tested by Toshiba.

    In addition, you can try to clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  • Satellite L405D-11V - freezes and the screen goes black when you watch the video

    OK, so I have the Toshiba Satellite L405D-11V, I had a breakdown, basically, the computer freezes at any time and the screen would go black, with the fan and lights still ongoing, this could be at the start, or a few hours using the laptop, so I decided to ring Toshiba technology support and they arranged for my laptop to collect and be expelled for repairs.

    I was able to track repairs online via the tracking service and was able to see what they were doing to my laptop, he said that they have ordered a part, it was underway and the repairs are completed.

    However, I got the laptop back today, I turn it on, all right, I start using the cell phone that everything is fine, so I decide to watch a video on youtube, and it freezes again, so I turned off now pressed the power button, hoping he wasn't that a large, I turn back to and load the video once again it freezes and the screen goes black again, after that whenever I am watching a video or a game, it causes the computer to crash and freeze as before the repairs. So there is always a mistake, but I'm not sure what to do

    Its still under warranty, I bought the laptop from the Comet, but I really don't want to send the laptop for repairs again and find it comes back with the same fault, is it interesting sending distributed, maybe see if the comet will replace the laptop as its still less than a year to buy the laptop, or it'll just be useful to save all the hassle and buy a new laptop? If this fault happened to someone else, I could use you some help, and if someone could shed some light regarding what could be bad?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    You changed something on the configuration after you got your notebook back from repair? You update a driver, or something else?
    What operating system you use on your L405D satellite?

    To be honest it is really hard to say why it happens because technicians test to check if your laptop is running correctly.

    In my opinion you should try to update the display driver. Maybe it's the origin of the problem of s
    If this isn't the case, I recommend installing Windows from Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. These parameters are pre-tested by Toshiba and should work.

    If you still have the problem, you must contact the technicians again. I mean you could track the online repair and according to your assignment, everything worked well during repair, so in my opinion he should t be a problem to contact guys exactly.
    Explain your very detailed problem. I think that everything can be clarified then. :)
