Hi,

First time here and second time this happened.

I use Movie Maker to edit vidoe and such, and this has happened and I can't
pay $50 to reinstall XP just for this:

Everytime when after I opened WMM, I select an audio/pic/video from
Collections and the preview window froze. Tried to select other items but
the preview window kept it at where I first chose. I looked everywhere to
find a solution, so here's what I tried:

Papajohn's Advice on the Site: DIDN'T WORK
Codec Changes: NOTHING FIXED
Reinstalling WMM: NO CHANGE
System Restoring: MY COMPUTER FAILED TO RESTORE
Eliminating Viruses, Spyware, Hijacks, and everything else threating: STILL
NOTHING


I've tried almost eveything and still got nothing to fix the problem. It may
be that I have to free virtual memory.

Anyways, I use an HP Pavillion 505n with 250MB ROM and 60GB HD. I need a
solution to this situation, ASAP. Thanx!

Here are a couple of articles that may help
you with System Restore:

(302796) How to troubleshoot the System
Restore tool in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=302796

(812119) Windows System Restore Utility
Quits and All Restore Points Are Deleted
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=812119

(841568) The System Restore service does
not work correctly in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=841568

You've tried everything else...why not
try reducing your Graphics Hardware
Acceleration. If you see an improvement,
it's a strong indication that you need to
update your video driver.

You'll find instructions in the following
MSKB article:

(263391) How to Change the Graphics
Hardware Acceleration Setting in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=263391

Also it couldn't hurt to perform some routine
maintenance:

Running Disk Cleanup, Error Checking and
Defrag on a regular schedule is a good idea.

(310312) Description of the Disk Cleanup
Tool in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310312

(315265) How to Perform Disk Error Checking
in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315265
(check the two boxes..."Automatically fix file
system errors" and "Scan for and attempt
recovery of bad sectors") the utility will run
the next time you restart your computer.
(run error checking repeatedly until it finds
no errors)

And increasing the size of your paging file
may help:

I did Maintenance and changed Hardware Accelerations on my computer, but did
nothing to fix it. The thing was, it (WMM) was working like normal. What
started was that I couldn't hear sound, so I reinstalled my audio driver, but
in return I get what I told you in the beginning.
