Hey, I have am having a problem with my Windows Movie Maker. Now I am trying to open it up to make a video for youtube, and all of a sudden I get a small box with a red x on it that says error. And WMM wont even open at all. Has anyone run into this problem and know how to fix it?

    Well anyone? I would like to get back into making some videos for youtube, and some help on this matter would be very helpful.

    Could you perhaps post a screenshot of the error that pops up? That might help some people. Also, is have you tried opening the program directly from a project file (so just opening a file you've created using the program). If you've tried that, try another file.

    I'm afraid I have next to no experience with the program, so I can't help much, sorry! You could try microsoft's support forums though.

    I could try to do that, but will a cellphone screenshot do?

    Well alright. Here's the two images. One of the is the the box that shows the WMM icon showing error and the other one is the box with the red x in it. Also for the file that says pic 1, If anyone is wondering why the screen is white. Its just an empty folder that I used to block off my computer screen. There is nothing wrong with that.

    I also have no experience with Windows Movie Maker. However, you might try looking for a more helpful message in the Windows event log. I believe it is under Administrative tools in the Control Panel (I'm on my Linux machine right now, so can't check for sure). Look in the Application log for anything with a nearby timestamp as you opening the program.

    I think the problem is that you are trying to use Windows Movie Maker. (trololol)

    You could always just try re-downloading it. You never know what might work.

    Agreed. I would suggest Pinnacle Studios which is what i switched too. I used to use WMM but it is very buggy.
