Crash after Crash...

[Guest]

I am only able to work on a moviemaker project (slide show) for a short
period then it crashes.
I have got in the habit of saving after two or three steps. At first it was
only a hard reboot that would work.
Now I can end the program with task manager but it is a creative stifle
going through this process every few minutes.
When I do get the job done I am very happy with the end result.
Any suggestions from Pappa John or others. Pappa your last instructions
worked great and I thank you.

I am having the same problem.

Movie Maker Hangs and I must perform an End Task. I'll keep sending the
error reports as much as I need to.

It usually happens when I am editing the timeline but it also happens when
it is just idle in the background. I sometimes tab back to it and its frozen.

I keep a very clean and updated system. It happens with minimum processes
running and no other appliccations running. I uninstalled Windows Live One
Care and Defender to see if it would help.

I tried turning off the Save Autorecover but that didn't help so now I have
it save Autorecover once every minute. I also uncheked all of the "Filters"
in the WMM Options Compatability menu.

I'm determined to finish the X-Mass Video though!

I'm having the same problem. I can't even edit previous incomplete projects.
As soon as I click on the timeline moviemaker crashes. I'm getting really
hacked off. I also can't import DV video that I captured with moviemaker.
It starts the import and then says unknown error. Any help gratefully
received.

=============================
Some users have reported problems
after installing IE7. If this applies to your
situation ...uninstalling IE7 may be worth
a try.

I've checked version numbers and I'm only on V6 of IE. I also noted
your response to another identical query elsewhere and possible
conflicts with Windows Media v11, but I'm only on v 10.

================================
Sounds like you have read all the suggested
fixes that are posted in this newsgroup.

Apparently you have an issue specific to your
system and you'll have to continue trouble-
shooting until you discover what's causing it.

Could be resource ralated, maintenance
related, driver related, codec related....you
know your system and all we can do is guess.
