I am trying to run Windows Movie Maker 2012.  The audio works when I upload music, but when I upload pictures the preview screen is black.  I have uninstalled 2012 and installed 2011 and this resolves the pictures problem, but then 2011 will not let me download songs saved from my itunes.  Any suggestions?

I am having major problems with audio on my Movie Maker. Before I updated to Windows 8.1 it seemed to work fine, but after updating when I'm editing in Windows Movie Maker the audio will sometimes disappear. Not just in Windows Movie Maker, but on the entire computer. Not muted, nothing comes up in diagnostics. I uninstalled and reinstalled movie maker (rebooting computer in between for good measure). The problem still persists. If I reboot my computer the sound will come back, but if I start trying to edit the same video again it will putz out again after a short while. (This has happened on multiple videos I've edited so I'm sure it's not just a specific faulty video).

Please help. I've been trying to figure this out myself for over a month. I've tried all the solutions I can think of. (Oh, and please don't post any youtube video solutions, it's really hard for me to get onto youtube because I'm currently living in China).

When I start Windows Movie Maker on windows 8.1 after updating my computer last night, when I start movie maker, it will act like its going to start, but crashes with error code 0x80004005.

Edit:

I have attempted repair. I have attempted uninstall and reinstall. It was working fine until I installed one of the following updates, which leads me to believe that it has something to do with one of them.

So i'm having a weird issue, when i import any kind of audio into movie maker my headphones make a loud static noise, after this i cannot in anyway change the volume of my headset or hear anything else, even if i quit movie maker, the only way i manage to fix this is to force quit and restart my headphones while movie maker is off. Once i start movie maker again it happens again. I have not tried to update windows essentials since i cannot find out how to.

Any help is greatly approciated!

I have dell 5520 with windows 7-64 bit. when I try to put some image or video on windows movie maker to make videos the preview pane is showing black.

please help me.

I have searched the forum and am not able to find an answer to this specific issue, but I am ready to pull my hair out with frustration!

I have been asked to create a slide show for my son's graduation tomorrow night (5/29/14). I used Windows Movie Maker (in Windows 8) and have created the slide show with 4 corresponding songs without issues, but I have 2 MAJOR problems with the playback. 

The first issue that I have is that sometimes when I open the file there is simply no sound. I have checked all volume controls, etc. The only resolution I can find is to shut down my computer and reboot. I really don't want to hassle with this on graduation night. Any ideas how I can fix? I have already downloaded audio patches from Windows and nothing has worked.

The second issue is that the musical transitions are not working when I play the slide show in it's entirety. The first song transitions to the second with no problem, but after the second song, the music stops playing and the slides continue. The only fix I can find is to pause the slide show, back up a few slides and start playing again. Any idea why this is happening? It is so very frustrating considering the amount of time I have put into this project to have all these glitches. I would really appreciate any ideas of how to solve these problems. I would love to be able to play this slide show on graduation night (tomorrow!) without all these issues. Thank you!

I'm trying to determine if I can use a Windows 8 tablet to run Windows Movie Maker or do I need to purchase a laptop (I prefer a hybrid laptop)?  I've got a budget of $500 so my options are limited.  I've been told I need a device with an I3 processor at a minimum, is this true?  Can anyone suggest anything?  Thank you.
