Windows Movie Maker Crashes sirfartalot 6/4/2007 3:53:09 PM Hi, I have a problem with Windows Movie Maker. It will import media fine but as soon as I try to drag anything into the timeline (video or photo), the application crashes and I get the message "Windows Movie Maker has stopped working". I found some discussion on the net about Nero causing a problem but I do not have this installed. I am using the 32 bit version of Vista Ultimate Edition.

Has it always been a problem, or has it worked at some point? If it worked before, what changes to the syustem have you made? If it's never worked, what file types are you using? -- Graham Hughes MVP Digital Media www.myvideoproblems.com "sirfartalot" <sirfartalot[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1885E1D5-BF5C-46E9-9DBF-3A0F5CF4D5A5[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Windows Movie Maker Crashes sirfartalot 6/4/2007 10:44:00 PM No, I don't have Roxio installed. I've never tried to use Movie Maker before so it has never worked for me but I do have a lot of software installed. As far as 'video' software is concerned (if this is what could be causing a problem), I have divx, Quicktime and Real installed. I also have the QT and real alternative codecs installed and I suppose you could possibly call Flash 8 a video application. Are you aware if any of these could be a problem? I've tried to use Movie maker with jpeg files to create a photo slideshow. I know the Vista beta used to work with dvr-ms files from my media centre so I tried editing one of those and found exactly the same thing - the application crashes as soon as you try to add anything to the timeline.

Re: Windows Movie Maker Crashes sirfartalot 6/5/2007 1:22:01 AM Okay it appears that I've just answered my own question by clicking on the link in the log and found that the problem was with the Morgan stream switcher. I've just uninstalled it and movie maker now works. I wouldn't have looked there and seen the link though if it wasn't for the post here so it was still you that solved the problem (I didn't answer my own question really !!). Many Thanks.

That isn't "video editing" software, which is what you need and depending on what package you buy if you plan on making DVDs you likely will need DVD authoring software as well. They are often sold separately. You generally only need DVD Authoring software if you want chapters, a sub menu system, and other commercial grade features. The first thing any Microsoft fanboy will try to do is blame some third party application every time Movie Maker or DVD Makers crashes or refuses to do what it is suppose to. That's their default answer to every problem Movie Maker and DVD Maker causes or falls victim to since both are so poorly written. It seems to be a reflex action of fanboys, point your finger outward, never inward. As you obviously know Vista is perfect and totally bug free and every crash is somebody else's fault, never Microsoft's fault, never, never, never. <snicker>
