It's darn annoying. Windows Movie Maker keeps on freezing and
crashing for no reason.
When I upload something, add to the timeline, and mostly after I save.
It never freezes when I save.
Is this Movie Maker being a "brat" or is there some problem.

Maybe the following article will offer some ideas.

FWIW...video editing applications run best on a
machine that is well maintained and fully updated.
You could be reaching the limits of your system
resources. Running Error Checking, Defrag and
Disk Cleanup on a regular schedule might help.
And...disconnecting from the net and closing all
programs including your virus scanner before
opening Movie Maker may free up some resources.
Adding more RAM, increasing the size of your
Paging File and maintaining a hard drive that
has 50% or more free space can help.
And you may have compatibility issues with your
source files...the following article may be useful:

It's also possible that you have an issue with a
corrupted or outdated video driver.
Try reducing your Graphics Hardware Acceleration
as per the instructions in the following article.

(scroll down to:
Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP)
If it improves the issue, you need to search the
support website of your Video adapter's mfg. for
an updated video driver.
