Movie Maker Only works when Laptop Docked

27. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized
As of a few days ago, Movie Maker worked without issue (whether laptop was docked or undocked).  Now i get an error that reads, "Make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements before trying to start Movie Maker Again." 

I have tried the repair option, i have tried tweaking the RAM, the compatibility settings, i have uninstalled/reinstalled, i have closed all non-essential programs.. Nothing fixes this.

Then i discovered that when the laptop is plugged into the docking station, Movie Maker still works.  Unfortunately, i can't be at my desk all the time...

Is this a known issue? I'm not sure if it's a power issue, or if somehow the laptop has more processing power while docked?  Is there any way to run MM with alternate settings that allows it to run while undocked?

The laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad T420 and it more than meets the MM requirements.

Thanks.
