How to Repair Windows Movie Maker

Posted by Kat

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.

3 Ways to Fix the Windows Error Code 19

Posted by Kat

Code 19 is a Windows registry error that occurs when data on the registry for a device and its driver have been damaged.  When a registry problem is detected, it usually means that one or more service for a device is defined, the registry entry service fails to open, or the registry entry service fails to give a driver name.  Your computer does not recognize the device in the system, so any functions performed using it will be inhibited until the problem is fixed.

To fix this error, try these options:

  1. Uninstall the driver for the device.  Once uninstalled, select “Scan for hardware changes” to locate and load a usable driver.
  2. Go to the Start menu, select Run.  Enter “regedit”.  In the Registry Editor window, select the key for the current configuration and expand it.  Delete the two subkeys listed below and restart the computer.  Your computer will automatically recognize the drive again, so there is no need to reinstall any of the OD drivers.
  3. Restarting the computer in safe mode and in the Last Known Good Configuration will roll back the computer’s hard drives to the most recent successful registry configuration.  The risk with this option is that there is a small chance of data loss, so saving any new files accumulated in the previous month on a disk or USB drive would be smart as a precautionary measure.

Or Get Rid of the Headache and Get a Registry Cleaner

Correct and prevent Code 19 errors and optimize your PC with the click of a button. A good registry cleaner not only corrects any registry error on your computer, but it also prevents things like computer freezes and crashes.  If you’ve ever lost a document you’ve been working on, you already know how important a clean system is.
