Windows movie maker wont work

hi I have a w520 with a quadro 1000m graphics card running on windows 7 - im trying to get windows moviemaker to work but keep getting the message saying that my system isn't equipped to do this - ive downloaded the nvidea driver updates and also windows 7 latest updates as well but to no avail - can anyone help ?

Hi I am having the same problem. We have regularly used windows movie maker to make videos and since yesterday we are unable to open the programme - we keep getting the message "windows movie maker can't start. Make sure your computer meets minimum requirements before trying to start WMM again and then try to update the driver for your video card if MM doesn't start". I have followed other threads regarding this problem, have uninstalled, re-installed WMM. Have updated drivers through Lenovo website. Have downloaded Graphics Media Accelerator Drivers from Intel all to no avail. Could somebody PLEASE help as soon as possible as my daughter has a film to make in less than 48 hours!!!! Thank you. Our computer is an H3 series - don't know if you need further info.

Windows movie maker dose not seem to work with itunes music anymore. Hear is what happend in a nut shell.
For reasons I can not explain I had to reinstall all my software on my Vista HP notbook. But I only had one why of saving my data music,photos. I had to use my flash drive to save everything as my DVD recoder would not work right at the time.
So I save everything I needed and then did the deed then when that was all done and everything was working right again. I put all my photos and music back to my computer. All my music or aleast most of my music is from itunes some music is from CD I do not have anymore.
My question is when I go to put music with my movie or slideshow with Windows movie maker. A box pops up and tells me that this song dose not have the right codec but it also tell me did I download the right codec. I have know idea what its talking about. Movie Maker worked fine with itunse music before the reinstall. I am thinking I did not save the music right though the music plays great on itunes but just will not import right to my movie project. I am at a lose for words can someone please help me shed some well needed light on this all the help I can get would be a God send thank you.

i am trying to go into windows movie maker to make a photo disc with songs from my i tunes but it tells me i can not do it because codec is not installed.i have tried to get codec but does not seem to have worked.

Go into your system profiler and tell us your Machine Identifier that says:
iMac x,y (give us the x and y values)
That will tell us whether you are Mavericks compatible or not.
Also tell us how much RAM you have installed.

The songs you purchased are in AAC format, which Windows Movie Maker cannot handle. You can use iTunes to make MP3 versions by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 and the MP3s will work fine.
Note that when iTunes does a conversion it creates a new file and leaves the original in place. Make sure you are grabbing the new MP3 for your movie and not the original AAC.
Sorry to hear about your grandpa.

Part 1: How to import .mod video to Windows Movie Maker
Step 1: Load files
First copy the MOD file from your video camera to your hard drive, then download, install and run MOD Converter, click the "Add Files" button to browse your computer hard disc and load the MOD/TOD video files you want to convert to the program.
Step 2: Output Setting
In the bottom of the main interface, select an output format supported by Windows Movie Maker for each video file and specify a directory on your computer to save the output files.
Step 3: Start convert
Click "Start" button on right bottom of the main interface, you are allowed to start conversion.
Step 4: Import converted video to Windows Movie Maker
Click on "File". Then click on "Import". A window will appear. In the window, navigate to the video clip you converted just now. Then double click on the file. You'll see the icon for the file in your Windows Movie Maker "Collections".
Part 2: How to edit the video with Windows Movie Maker
Step 1: Add transitions and special effects
In the Movie Tasks pane, under Edit Movie, click View video transitions.
Preview transitions by double-clicking them and watching the Preview Monitor. Once you've found a transition you like, drag it from the Video Transitions pane, under Edit Movie pane to the box between two of your clips. This inserts the transition between the two clips.
Step 2: Add titles and credits
If you want to add a title before, after, or on top of a clip, click the clip on the storyboard or timeline.
In the Movie Tasks pane, under Edit Movie, click Make titles or credits.
Step 3: Add Music
In the Movie Tasks pane in Movie Maker, under Capture Video, click Import audio or music.
In the Import File dialog box, click the name of the song you want to use in the background. Then click Import. This adds your song to your collection but does not add it to your video. Drag the song from the collection to the video clip where you want the music to start playing.
Step 4: Add narration
If you have a desktop computer, connect a microphone. Microphones are available from most electronics stores. If you have a portable computer, you can use the built-in microphone. However, you will get a better-quality recording if you connect an external microphone. In Movie Maker, click the Tools menu, and then click Narrate Timeline. On the timeline, click the clip you want to narrate. You can narrate clips one at a time, or you can narrate the entire movie all at once. If you narrate individual clips, you can rearrange them later and keep your narration synchronized. If the narration is too loud or too soft in comparison to the movie, right-click the narration on your timeline, and then click Volume.
Step 5: To save your movie to your computer
In the Movie Tasks pane, under Finish Movie, click Save to my computer.
The Save Movie Wizard appears. On the Save Movie File page, type a name for your movie. You can also choose a folder to save it in by clicking the Browse button, but My Videos (the default) is usually the best place to save your movie. Then click Next. On the Movie Setting page, click Next to accept the default setting of Best quality for playback on my computer.
Movie Maker saves your movie, which might take several minutes. On the Completing the Save Movie Wizard page, click Finish. If Play movie when I click Finish was selected (it is selected by default), the movie will automatically play in Windows Media Player. Now you can watch your videos anytime by opening your My Videos folder and double-clicking your movie.
Part 3: How to upload my video to YouTube

I am trying to use songs I purchased from iTunes in my video using Windows Movie Maker. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

I am trying to use songs I purchased from iTunes, from my library if you will, in my video (slideshow) using Windows Movie Maker.
Does anyone know if that is possible to do? If so, would you please tell me how to do that?

Burning Videos from iPhone/iTunes with Windows Movie Maker?????

How can I burn videos that I take on my 3GS iPhone and than sync to my PC/iTunes with Windows Movie Maker? When I attempt to load or drag the video file into movie maker it give me an error message due to the file type is not supported. Any suggestions or points in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

This is because iTunes Store purchases and in a protected file format, so you won't be able to directly convert them from the protected file into something that Windows movie maker could read.
As the previous poster said, you can try burning the files to a CD, then importing the CD again. I think that ought to work.

Movie Created with Windows Movie Maker

I created a movie of our recent vacation with Windows Movie Maker and I am now trying to get it on my iPod. Can someone tell me the best way to accomplish this.
Thanks,

I downloaded Handbrake, but I am having difficulty making it work.
I also downloaded Videora, and I was actually able to get my movie into iTunes, but when I converted the movie in iTunes to transfer to my iPod, it lost sound.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Windows movie maker not playing sound.

I am currently trying to make a video which will have sound and pictures/writing together. I have been able to make multiple videos in the past using this software but for some bizarre reason the sound doesn't work when I try make a new vid, nor does it
work on the previous vids that I have made. I have also tried to re-download Windows Movie Maker but I can't seem to find it? You help would be great as I am really unhappy about this situation. Thanks.

what happen if you play music or watch video using other app? still no sound?
what if files type that you edit at Movie Maker? please make sure you installed latest codec and this file supported by Movie maker
Please make sure this is not setting audio issue, setting audio at audio tab and volume slider at bottom right side

Windows Movie Maker can't start. Dell XPS L502X running 64 bit Windows 7
Used to work fine until we updated MS licence. Seems to be a problem with graphics driver, yet I've tried all the posted fixes with no luck.

Hi,
Due to Windows Movie Maker is an additional application, you can reinstall it for repair.

Windows Movie Maker won't play on DVD player

I have the OS7 now
The instruction say that a burned MASTER disc will play on DVD players and most computers???
I have used Mp4 and WMV formats with Windows Movie Maker, but none will play on DVD players but play well on computers???
I had formally use the Windows DVD Maker and the final file was UBF which seemed to work on all players and computers. My DVD Maker will not allow completion of Movie, it notes, " I need the proper codes to make it work"??
I have looked on the Microsoft site for these support codes but cannot find them??? Windows Movie worked well on my Vista OS. What has MS done to screw up this software???

You need to read the owner's manual for your DVD player to find out exactly what video formats it will play. Then you must ensure you record your video to DVD in a format that is recognized by your DVD player. The Windows 7 Windows Movie Maker
may have a different default video format output that what you were using in Vista. You have the option to specify the format of the video you record to DVD.

Windows Movie Maker 2 for Windows XP SP3 32 Bit

Hey Guys,
I'm having a small issue with Windows Movie Maker . I work for a school district and in the lab we have about 25 machines and I'd say over half of them are having this issue. The issue is that when you open up WMM - click on Import Pictures
and then go to the sample pictures directory and import any of the pictures into collections and then drag that into the Video time line. It doesn't show up in the video preview it's just a black window and when you click narration it gives me a "Class Not
Registered" error. Now, I've been doing some digging and a lot of people on different forums suggested to do a rundllsvr32 for a couple of dlls that fixed the class not registered issue for some people, but not for me. I even tried reinstalling WMM by going
into systemroot\inf and hitting install on moviemk and that didn't work either. Does anyone know what this problem could relate to ? Whether it's a matter of video drivers ( I have latest one ) or video codecs ? I did also try deleting all the video codecs
under Sound and Audio Devices too. So, if anyone knows anything about this that would be Highly Appreciated.
Thanks again !!

Any updates on this?

Windows Movie Maker - no sound on QT video clips

I'm trying to combine QuickTime video clips (downloaded from Casio camera) into one movie, using Windows Movie Maker (Vista). All the clips have sound when I open them in their folder but after importing the clips in to MovieMaker, there is no sound. How do I import these clips so that their sound is also there? I have no problem with other video clips, only those saved as QT.
Thanks

Lenovo C560 with Windows 8.1 (16-gb RAM) will not successfully load Windows Movie Maker

I loaded Windows Movie Maker 12 with Windows Essentials. -This is exactly the same setup I am using on a HP desktop at work with Windows 8.1, but for some reason my C560 keeps giving me a "low memory" warning and will not load a AVI clip. -Worse, after trying... my whole computer gets glitchy and nothing seems to work properly until I shut it down, and restart it.
Quick recap on what I have tried. Upgraded from 6-gb to 16-gb of RAM. Increased the size of my Virtual Memory as much as it would let me. Nothing has made the slightest bit of difference.

If you have a flashlight available I would shine it into each of the USB ports to make sure all the contacts are aligned straight and to see there is no debris in the port that could be shorting out the data contacts.
Another thing to try is going into Windows Device Manager and uninstall the USB and then reboot the computer. When the computer restarts it will again install the USB ports. This procedure will make sure the operating system correctly has them installed.
If the USB ports are still not functioning I would recommend you contact Lenovo Support for warranty service. You can find the phone number for Lenovo Support in your country or area by using the link below....
