Windows Movie Maker keeps crashing!!!?

Question

Help! Windows Movie Maker keeps crashing for no reason!! Everytime I open up Windows Movie Maker it crashes in a few seconds this happens consistently and not randomly what is going on there is always a Microsoft Crash Reporter and I hope Microsoft notices something is wrong because I have tried to open it hundreds of times and every single time it crashes! Is there something wrong with my computer?

Answer 1

The acknowledged expert for windows movie maker is papajohn

If he can't answer your question then no-one can! I suspect, however that it is just a simple WMM instability problem as noted by an earlier answerer.

There are numerous free editing tools for video you might want to try:-

Jahshaka

T@B ZS4

Wax

Video Spin

Vivia

Avidemux

Blender

.. to name a few

iMovie is better than WMM but unfortunately you need to be running a Mac for iMovie to work. I suspect that if you have WMM on your machine you're probably using a PC

Information about these and more, and a link to papajohn can be found on my web site. Check my profile for that link

Answer 2

That's the exact reason why people stop using movie maker. It happens all the time. Here's a review from Cnet

"The plain interface promises simplicity with drag-and-drop storyboard options, though during testing, it was more like drag and freeze. The program typically froze while importing MPG video files. If importing worked, Movie Maker 2 would quit responding when clips were placed on the storyboard..."

A better alternative is Video Spin. Here's the article compares Video Spin and Windows Movie Maker
