Hi, working with MM, everything fine. Then, one fine fall day, I open a
project file that worked fine, and I get "Unspecified Error". I tried all the
fixes in these forums with resetting the directory permissions for the Temp
file, etc. Nothing has fixed it.
One thing I guessed might have an effect, but don't know how to fix it, is I
have a Registry file cleaner (Registry Booster). I might have run a registry
clean between when the project files worked, and when they were broken.
I know this is very strange, but any thoughts?

I got the same err msg yesteday on dual boot Dell w/ Intel chipset + Nvidia
card but no sound card -- integrated sound. mm has worked fine, right thru
XPSP2 and mm2 w/o sound card (recommended by ms).. I had been trying to burn
a DVD w/o menus using Ulead then roxio then 'zap' no mm2 .. "unspecified
error"
movie maker "unspecified error" gets 1 hit on mskb - trying to burn a DVD in
Vista w/ a mm2 video on a machine w/ Intel 945 integ chipset
2 more curious items... xp on this dual boot has all netwrk disabled ..
booted into Safe Mode and signed in as admin and I could start mm2 w/o prob
(except msg regards 640x480 res) .. the other thing I did was u/i SP2 and SP1
w/ mm1 was ok
I'm gonna swap out drives w/ mirror and see if I can get mm2 to go ..
otherwise I think it's a hw issue, maybe nvidia, maybe no sound card.. good
luck

running Vista Ultimate and from one day to the other I do get "unspecified
error" when launching. Tried to install MM 2.6 for Vista - but the same.
Hope someone knows the fix!

I've found only 1 way to 'solve' prob --reinstall! --and I mean WINDOWS and
I don't mean hitting R for repair (boot from CD) --I mean complete reinstall
and all the bother that entails (chipset video progs) WINXPSP1~2 msi v2 wmp9
directx 9.0c mm2. I have since split dual boot into 2 machines .. dropped
XPSP1 hdd into new barebones w/ core duo and larger power supply + 2GB RAM..
getting new video card today and that should solve prob for good. I hope.
This machine will nevertouch the Internet (except through shared removable
media).. had to re-register way old DELL OEM XP o/s over the telephone to
Microsoft yesterday.

There appear to be a lot of Microsoft users who are experiencing problems
with Movie Maker. This would be VERY easy to remedy if Microsoft had enough
common sense to provide a download to re-install Movie Maker, but I guess
that expecting them to have ANY common sense is unrealistic.

20081229 - There is or was a dwnld avail to intall mm2 for XP. Along w/ msi 3
or whatever I installed mm2 on XPSP1 (no connex machine) after install nvidia
card + sound blaster. Still works. Movie Maker must be something ms picked up
from somebody else and as good as it is I really don't expect much support. I
think all video edit sw is buggy.
