Windows Live Movie Maker Problems

quest2012 · 08 Aug 2012

Hello All, I am a new member to this website. I hope i have posted this question in the correct forum. Anyway, my question is in regards to Windows Live Movie Maker. For the past two or three months i have continously had problems downloading and editing movies in (WLMM). On some occasions the movis downloads fine but more often than not when i am preparing a video it freezes...Sometimes it freezes immediately or other times it can reach up to 50% progress before it it freezes. What do you think is the cause of this? I have a lot of videos saved in my folder so i wonder if it could be related to memory storage? I have uninstalled and reinstalled WLMM but to no avail. If you have any suggestions or advice on what i can do to solve this i would appreciate it.

Where are you downloading the movies from?

If the movies are large; your computer might not be able to handle them. Could you post your system specs?

Go to your User Control Panel and click Edit System Specs. Fill in the details there hen it appears at the foot of every post you make, saves us looking back for a thread like this to find the required details.
I think you provided the answer to your problem in the system details. Of the 2Gb RAM you have installed i doubt you get to use more than 1.5Gb and in my view that is not enough to do what you are tring to do. This will cause the slow speed. basically IMHO you haven't got enough power to do the job!
