Help! I am desperately in need of anyones help. I am a newbie to
using movie maker. Over the last couple of days when I try to open
movie maker and start a project the whole thing crashes and it closes
without me being able to do anything. I get the error box for
reporting errors to micrsoft. Does anyone know why this is happening?
All advice or solutions to this would be greatly appreciated.
===================================================
Did you recently install / uninstall / update
anything on your system?
You fail to mention your OS...if you are
running Vista...disregard the following.
Some users have reported problems
after installing IE7. If this applies to your
situation ...uninstalling IE7 may be worth
a try.

I've also seen a report that disabling the
ffdshow codec could be the fix. To accomplish
this...open Movie Maker and go to...Tools /
Options / Compatibility tab...Uncheck...
ffdshow / OK.

(You can disable ffdshow with this command:
regsvr32.exe /u "C:\Program Files\ffdshow\ffdshow.ax"
After running that command, the regular
DivX/XviD codecs will be used instead of ffdshow.
You can enable ffdshow again with this command:
regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\ffdshow\ffdshow.ax" )
