Movie Maker Wont Run

[Guest]

Whenever i open the program it says it needs to close and sends an error
message.
It used to work fine. I dont know when it started doing this as its not a
program i use much. Ive been to my Add/Remove programs to see about doing a
Repair but its not listed! I cant find where it came from either in my
Software Set up stuff on the notebook. Any ideas?

===========================
Movie Maker 2.1 is installed as a component
for WinXP SP2.

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

thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, reverted to IE 6 and Moviemaker
operated fine again. That's a definite bug isnt it? Anyone got a solution. Im
surprised this is not a recognised MS issue for which there should be a KB
and a fix.
I probably use IE more than MM anyway, so I may redownload IE7. Ill probably
get prompted to anyway by the automatic Windows Updates.

=============================
At least you know what caused the issue.

Cheers.

There have been several reports and
there may be a fix in the works but I have
no info about it.

I have the same problem. Movie Maker Fails on Start.
But I also have no desire to uninstall IE 7.
I like zooming and mulitple tabs .. and I do have FireFox with similar
features.
I prefer IE 7 most of the time because they seem to control pop-ups better
by placing the in tabs.
This behaviour is more desirable to me than that of FireFox ...
well most of the time anyway.
Does a Microsoft Rep ever comment on these issues ... or is
Out of Vista ...out of mind?
