Solved WLE 2012 and Movie Maker

[t-4-2]

I did not even know there was a Windows Live Essentials 2012 until I happened to click open this forum and saw Brink's post on 2009.
I had been using WLM 2011 and I thought it was the latest, I swear.

Anyway, I installed the 2012 version.
Just one problem.....
Before that, I was unhappy with Windows Live Movie Maker, so I installed Movie Maker 6.0

Now after installing WLE 2012, I don't see the Movie Maker 2012 version, only my 6.0 version is present.

What to do ?
Uninstall 6.0 ? Then what to do to get the 2012 version ?

Thank you.

Hello t-4-2,

Yeah, uninstalling 6.0 and then installing the newer 2012 version would probably work.

Perhaps, I should uninstall WLE 2012, and re-install ?

Does you graphics card/chip meet the minimum requirements? If not, then that would explain why MM 2012 wasn't installed originally.

Don't know how to check that. Will the screenshot mean anything to you ?
If not, tell me how to look for my graphic card/chip .

You might run GPU-Z to see if it can better ID what graphic chip you have.

Make a HUGE pot of coffee....... ha ha ha

Your GPU-Z link .... asks for validation ID . Where do I find that ?

Never mind.

This is what I get installing that " thingy ".



What's next ?

Well, from looking at the specs at the link below, your Intel HD Arrandale chip meets the minimum requirements.

I'm thinking it may be the graphics driver. Do you have the latest version installed?

I don't know how to findout nor how to update the graphic driver.

Make another pot of coffee ...... mega size pot.

I aboted the install.

I think I'll just go and reinstall the 6.0 version.

Good idea. Doesn't seem the graphics chip or it's drivers supports the newer version.

I drank 2 pots of coffee and that's what I get from you ?

Thank you.

Well, if ain't supported it ain't supported.

Well, if ain't supported it ain't supported.

6.0 reinstalled. No problem.

Why is it that Photo Gallery, Messager and Windows Live Mial all got updated but not Movie Maker ?

Weird.

I am marking this thread since I have given up.

I'd have to say because of the error you got below mate. It doesn't meet the requirements for Movie Maker, but did for the other programs.
