Windows Movie Maker is a Microsoft Windows program used to create/edit video on your PC.  Features like transitions, timeline narration, effects, adding titles/credits, and Auto Movie are included.  It can be found on most Windows XP PCs and is a fun and useful editing tool.

Like all computer programs, it is vulnerable to errors and/or corruption.  Follow these simple steps to repair Windows Movie Maker.

Error with Windows XP Service Pack
One common problem occurs when the Windows XP Service Pack 2 is downloaded over your existing XP platform.  This tends to mess the Windows registry up and can damage some of your auxiliary programs.

The best way to solve this is to back up your files, reinstall Windows and then install the Service Pack.  This should clear up any problems you were having with Windows Movie Maker as well as problems with any other Windows programs.

WMM  Blocked Access to Registry Editor
Another common problem occurs when a registry error blocks WMM’s access to its auxiliary files.  Microsoft Help and Support suggests that you add a new registry value using their Registry Editor.  This can be accomplished by going to the Microsoft website and downloading the utility and follow the step-by-step instructions.

To completely avoid this registry error, download and utilize a good registry cleaner.  Find and repair any Windows Movie Maker registry errors and prevent future errors that can damage programs or cause harmful computer freezes/crashes that could damage your files.
