Movie Maker will not save movie

[bh56]

Ever since I put service pack 3 on my PC, I have not been able to save a
movie in Movie Maker. I get an error message that there is not enough disc
space, there is, or that the original file has been moved, which it has not
been. I have tried to find the download for movie maker, but all I find is
the dowload for service pack 2 which has movie maker as part of it. Any help
would be appreciated.

=================================
The disk space error usually appears when
source files are corrupted or incompatible.
Also...projects that are too complex can
cause issues.

Movie Maker is also included in SP3.

Might be worth a try to uninstall SP3 just to
see if it clears up the issue.

I too have this problem. MM2 worked fine until Friday and now it won't make
a movie, I get the message when it reaches 25%.

I have reinstalled MM and media player; everything in the compatibility tab
is unchecked, I re-registered all the .dlls, I found 3 versions of QASF.DLL
and took the most modern (V11) and copied that to the other files and I have
reduced my hardware acceleration to notch 3.

The video consists of a single video and a single wave audio file and lasts
about 10 minutes. I'm running XP Pro, have 512mb ram and 9GB spare disk
space. I have run task manager during the process and the peek never reaches
the limit.

The movie can be created in other video editing software but the quality
isn't as good as MM so I desperately want it back!

Please help if you can.

====================================
I'm guessing you mean MM2.1 instead of MM2.0...

Anyway...What is the format of your video file?

And...have you tried going to...Tools / Options /
Compatibility tab and unchecking all the filters.

Adding more RAM couldn't hurt and increasing
the size of your Virtual Memory Paging File may
be worth a try.

I too have this problem.

I have reinstalled MM and Mediaplayer, re-registered the dlls, found 3
versions of the QASF (or whatever) dll and copied the no 11 version to the
other 2 files. I've reduced hardware exceleraton to the 3rd nothch, watched
task manager when it fails (25%) and the peak never reaches the limit. I've
probably done other things too but I'm now brain addled! The movie will
render in other software so I know there is nothing wrong with the files ( 1
x video and 1 audio wave about 4 mins in length, so not complex!).

I'd love to put MM1 on but my xp disks all came with sp2.

Does any have any other ideas - please?
