Windows Live Essentials Stopped Working

When I click on Windows Live Movie Maker I keep getting an error message saying "*program* is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support" and then another one with two codes coming up "The exception unknown software exception (0xc06d007e) occured in the application at location 0x7511c42d." When I try and reinstall it and windows live essentials (I was hoping to override the probelm by reinstalling all of the free content), it just keeps chucking the same messages up at me. I have no clue what to do about this, I have tried various google searches in hope of some help but none of them are experiencing the same problem as I am. It is now getting very frustrating, help please !
