Application stops working

Every time I run Nikon Capture NX 2.2.4, it stops working when I open a raw file. It will load a jpeg, but with no processing functions.

Here is an entry from the event log:

Code:

Faulting application name: Capture NX 2.exe, version: 2.2.3.0, time stamp: 0x4b05da3f

Report Id: 1842bf42-b67c-11df-9351-485b3949f5c5

I am also getting this event with windows live Movie Maker:

Code:

Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Photo Gallery\MovieMaker.Exe".Error in manifest or policy file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Photo Gallery\WLMFDS.DLL" on line 8. Component identity found in manifest does not match the identity of the component requested. Reference is WLMFDS,processorArchitecture="AMD64",type="win32",version="1.0.0.1". Definition is WLMFDS,processorArchitecture="x86",type="win32",version="1.0.0.1". Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

Any help is appreciated, particularly with the problem I have with Capture NX

yup, uninstalled all of the Win live stuff, and Capture NX. I did a clean install of capture NX, but still the same.

Try opening a RAW file from the camera in Windows without the program being installed

Raw files need a converter ie capture nx, or, in my case I have Photoshop as well. I can go on using photoshop, but NX is by far a much better raw file converter, which is why I'm so anxious to get it going again.
