Whenever I run Windows Media Maker (in Accessories) to try and edit a short
movie file, the programme crashes.

I want to know if I can re-install just WMM or if there is a way to fix it
without having to re-install my XP Home OS, and Service Pack 2 all over
again. I tried a download of SP2 but I got "Access Denied" halfway through.

Are the files specific enough for me to copy them from our second PC onto my
PC, just those, so as to overwrite the files for Windows Movie Maker that I
suppose have got somehow corrupted. I can't find an individual download of
just WMM as it seems to be written directly into XP.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I don't have the answers to your problem but I'm wondering if you
have ever gone to the "Windows Movie Maker.net Forums" yet? Also,
"PapaJohn.org" site? He has a special section devoted to problems such
as crashes in Movie Maker.

Windows Movie maker Forums is at:
http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/Forums/

PapaJohn's is at:

Any time I have problems with this program, I usually find the answers
there. It would be great if you would post here what you learn from
there in order to help others.

Hope this helps,
Rickie Lee
