When saving a movie or putting one together. Movie Maker
crashes saying the cmedia audio driver is outdated.
So I am directed to the cmedia site, where after much guess
work I download the update. Once installed I try it again
and for a few days it will work. Then out of the blue it
starts all over again.
Can Anybody HELP??????

The cmaudio.ax codec file is one of those listed on the Problem Solving >
Acceleration and Codecs page of my site.

Maybe the newer codec file is being replaced by the older one from a cache
someplace for some reason.... check the file version/date as you go through
the cycle. Or check all of the cmaudio.ax file copies on your drive to be
sure they are current.

Hi there,

Your problem may be caused by a codec that Movie Maker does not like. This
a very common issue.

Your one-stop-don't-need-to-look-anywhere-else Solution is with a program
called "Rename Codecs".

Instead of reading miles of dross that is full of maybe's and perhaps's
just run the program, it takes a few moments to identify all of the known
codecs that cause this problem and gives you the opportunity of renaming
them, or, you can now use the new Auto feature in version 1.5 and let the
program take care of virtually everything to do with this problem

You can then run Movie Maker and immediately determine if it actually was a
codec issue. If it was a codec issue Movie Maker will now run properly. If
it was not the issue, you have lost nothing more than a short amount of
time.

Whether or not it was a codec issue you must run the program once more and
restore the problem codecs to their original names.

The two procedures together can take less time than it did to read this
message and a whole lot less than reading mountains of bumph that may or
may not apply to you.

The program "Rename Codecs" is free and available from my website.

While there it would be a good idea to check out the tutorial on how to run
the program...that will take around one minute of your time!!! Use this
quick link to get there real fast http://tinyurl.com/3ewb9
