Hi. I was using MM2 for a couple of months without any
problem but it's started crashing in the last week. The
files I was using were around 1.3 Gigs. I'm using a
Pentium 4 chip with plenty of hard drive and memory space
it seems. I tried reading all the other posts about this
problem without help. papajohn.org was not up. Any help
greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jim.
 
Hi there,

Your problem may be caused by a codec that Movie Maker does not like. This
a very common issue.

Your one-stop-don't-need-to-look-anywhere-else Solution is with a program
called "Rename Codecs".

Instead of reading miles of dross that is full of maybe's and perhaps's
just run the program, it takes a few moments to identify all of the known
codecs that cause this problem and gives you the opportunity of renaming
them, or, you can now use the new Auto feature in version 1.5 and let the
program take care of virtually everything to do with this problem

You can then run Movie Maker and immediately determine if it actually was a
codec issue. If it was a codec issue Movie Maker will now run properly. If
it was not the issue, you have lost nothing more than a short amount of
time.

Whether or not it was a codec issue you must run the program once more and
restore the problem codecs to their original names.

The two procedures together can take less time than it did to read this
message and a whole lot less than reading mountains of bumph that may or
may not apply to you.

The program "Rename Codecs" is free and available from my website.

While there it would be a good idea to check out the tutorial on how to run
the program...that will take around one minute of your time!!! Use this
quick link to get there real fast http://tinyurl.com/3ewb9

I have been using Movie Maker ver2 since it has come out .... I tried to d/l some codecs for mpg (dvd-cd) editing ... now I cannot load Movie Maker with out it utilizing 100% cpu ... and my NASCAR 2003 gam I have been racing for almost a year with out problems and 75 - 103 fps have dropped to 1 - 16 fps ..
Though MS has not announced this There has to be a hack/ virus that is running around out there and some how manipluating the MM, grafix, or so tahts all i hvae noticed thus far
 
Hi. Thanks. I'll run Trend Micro's antivirus asp on it
(it's free and works better than Norton Antivirus). Jim.

Hi John. I adjusted the ActiveX acceleration setting in
the Desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced >
Troubleshoot. I also installed the latest version of
ActiveX (9.0) from microsoft.com. That seems to have done
the trick. I owe you a beer! Thanks again. Jim.
