Movie Maker Problem bb13 6/5/2007 9:25:01 PM Movie Maker begins to count the minutes down in "Publish", and then starts counting up. Last 10 minute job stopped at 173 minutes. Sometimes reboot clears, but only after 5-6 times. How come?

RE: Movie Maker Problem bb13 6/8/2007 2:42:00 AM Thanks PPJ. I looked at your site, and found a couple of things. I can do pictures that result in a 50kb file with no trouble. I just tried a set of 5 small clips (10Mb total) and it climbed to 573 minutes. It won't do one clip! The program worked fine for a few times, then started doing this. There was never an error message. Just the timer climbing. This is what confuses me. S'pose I'll look into the Nero stuff.

RE: Movie Maker Problem bb13 6/8/2007 9:35:01 PM I looked for the hardware accelerator settings, but beats me where they are. I tried to get more memory for this computer, but eMachines doesn't answer me with price and availability. Thank you for your efforts. "> [Quoted Text] >

Re: Movie Maker Problem bb13 6/9/2007 10:07:00 PM Thank you Graham - I use .wmv and mpg/mpeg, with some avi thrown in. I had no trouble using Nero on my last computer, but it was W2000. The Vista dislikes Nero stuff, the power2Go that came with the computer is supposed to be a cure all, but it acts differently each time I use it. I'll look for the vid card you spoke of. Movie Maker worked for about 2 weeks, and I haven't added any programs that I know of. As an experiment, I tried to do clips that worked the first time, and found they choke it now. Something happened, and I think it would be better to fix the original problem than to keep patching the current ones. bb13

Re: Movie Maker Problem bb13 6/9/2007 10:14:01 PM Tried your method. There is no adjustment for acceleration. It's an Intel Graphics, if the window is to be believed. I've run thru the help screens looking for any kind of accelerator function, but nothing comes up.
