Default Whenever I try to make a video on WMM, it freezes

Ok, I've done this about thirty times already and everytime I even click on it, and opens, it freezes. Then sends errors and it takes FOREVER to get rid of.

Sometimes I have to reboot because it causes my computer to freeze too. :computer_

:smiley: Hey KK,

Welcome to PCHF.

In order to help, we are going to need you to be a lot more specific in regard to your problem.

Ok, I've done this about thirty times already and everytime I even click on it, and opens, it freezes. Then sends errors and it takes FOREVER to get rid of.

Sometimes I have to reboot because it causes my computer to freeze too.
What is it that you have done thrity times?
What is it you are clicking on that freezes?
What are the error messages that you are recieving, exactly?
What is it that takes forever to get rid of? The error messages?
I am assuming that you mean whatever it is you are dealing with sometimes also crashes your PC.

Look forward to your reply,

TTFN

LGW

Ok, I've been trying to make a video on Windows Movie Maker, and everytime that I open it, it freezes up and and error saying that it can send some error report. I close that. And my computer freezes, and I have to start over, as in restart. I try again, to see if it actually works, and it happens again. So I continue to try and work it out myself, but I'm starting to believe that it's more of a RAM space than anything, but I'm not so sure.

However, I'll just leave it alone for now.

Hardware acceleration issues are specific to certain video cards. Try changing your hardware acceleration to the number 3 position and, if that resolves MM problems, then your card is one with such an issue. Right click on the Desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot
The Hardware acceleration slider goes in 6 notches from None to Full, which correspond to:
1 - None - Disable all accelerations. Use this setting only if your computer frequently stops responding or has other severe problems.
2 - Disable all but basic accelerations. Use this setting to correct more severe problems.
3 - Disable all DirectDraw and Direct3D acceleration, as well as all cursor and advanced drawing accelerations. Use this setting to correct severe problems with DirectX accelerated applications.
4 - Disable all cursor and advanced drawing accelerations. Use this setting to correct drawing problems.
5 - Disable cursor and bitmap accelerations. Use this setting to correct problems with the mouse pointer, or to correct problems with corrupt images.
6 - Full - All accelerations are enabled. Use this setting if you computer has no problems
And Also do you have the newest direct X downloaded?
