Next: 'Options ...' remains on screen after terminating Windows Movie Maker
From: Ernie on 3 Jan 2010 15:37 Two weeks ago I used movie maker for the first time. The program worked well and I was very satisfied with the wmv it produced. This week I decided to open movie maker and try some new ideas for another presentation. I had made a shortcut to the program. I used that shortcut to open movie maker. It took several minutes but it finally opened. Now It will not open at all. I checked and the exe file is still there but the supporting files are not. In the last few days, two updates installed which were for windows media. I checked the update error log and did not find anything that appeared to apply to movie maker. I looked for a way to reinstall. In help found reference to a long number folder which is supposed to contain source (or backup) copies of the necessary files, but that folder is not where it is supposed to be. Is there any way to reinstall movie maker other than to reinstall windows xp service pack 2.? -- Ernie
From: Ernie on 3 Jan 2010 18:21 Adendum to first post. Another run of search found the .inf file to install MM in /Service Packs/i386. If I could find a suitable Setup.exe or Install.exe that would let you assigh the .inf file to it I think that would work.

Maybe doing a System Restore to a time before this issue began would be worth a try. -- J.
