I have been meaning to make some Pony promotion videos to spread the good word, but there is something wrong with my Movie Maker. Whenever I edit a video with it and then decide to save it as a movie file, it won't start. As I finish the settings for the video, it will stay at zero percentage indefinitely. I have been trying working with other files just to see if there's something corrupt, but nothing.

A friend of a friend told my friend that I should try reinstall Movie Maker. I did this and no change came of it. I am using Movie Maker 2.6 and Windows 7. Is there something rotten at the core in my computer?

I do not have the kind of money to buy myself a proper editing tool either, so you can save that advice Not that I would until I know why Movie Maker won't work.

Please help

Why do you use 2.6? That's quite an old version IIRC. You can get better versions for free.

It could be something as small as bad codecs, or it could be an issue with your video card. Are all your drivers up to date?

2.6 was the one I found at the Microsoft site. My PC had all drivers installed when I bought it. I haven't updated it since and had it for about a year. I don't know how or even that it is necessary

How do I check what codecs I need and which I have?

I thought about you mentioning 2.6 was an old version, so I did some searching. I found Live Movie Maker but did not fancy it one bit. I then found 5.6 which has all the features I want from 2.6 and making movie files works. Everything is in order now. Case closed. Thanks and sorry to be a bother

I'm just glad you got it fixed.

and yes, the Live version is useless. A lot of the newer MS stuff is.
