“Movie Maker stopped working” error; the screen turns black, then comes back on but with some of the frames with exclamation mark on them

Your links on this page do not work.  I am having problems with moviemaker (Version 2012, Built: 16.4.3508.0205.  It either gives "Moviemaker Stoopped Working" error repeatedly or the screen turns black, then comes back on, BUT with some of the frames (pictures already loaded) with a ! on them.  This is a very temperamental program that needs serious overhaul.  Ok it is a free program, but since you are offering it, it should work most of the time, not the opposite.  Others are also complaining about these same problems, but the help they offer do not work.  Your own help files on moviemaker are also too general and useless.  For example, at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923122

1. Click Start, and then click All Programs.
2. Click Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
3. At the command prompt, type CD \program files\movie maker, and then press ENTER.
4. Type moviemk.exe /safemode, and then press ENTER.
5. When Movie Maker starts, click Tools, and then click Options.
6. Click the Compatibility tab.
7. In the Filters section, click to clear the check boxes of any third-party video filters that are not required.

This is outdated.  moviemaker starts as moviemaker, not mmoviemk.exe.  The  Right-click and Properties and clicking Compatibility does not show Filters option.  And starting with safemode does not solve these problems either.  The designer of the program may know what is happening and why, but the average user is only frustrated.  Why not test your programs better?
