Hello all,

I've been reading multiple posts about this and related errors, including pinned post from considerate guy. Nothing seems to fix this.

Machine is: HP, Win7, i5 quad core, Nvidia G105M, DirectX 11

What I've done....

* Uninstalled and reinstalled Live Essentials 3 times (I excluded family and writer software)

* Ran repair on Essentials

* Ran Fixit for codecs -- no errors reported 3 times

* Nvidia driver is current per both the Windows Device Manager and Nvidia's update software. Driver date Feb 23 2015. Per the advice on one post, I checked the Nvidia box to allow beta updates (no updated was added).

* All "important" windows updates current. This Movie Maker worked in the past (over a year ago). Something broke.

What next?

Thanks in advance
