Windows Movie Maker Problem

[Tomb Raider Master]

Hi! :wve:

I'm encountering some problems with my Windows Movie Maker. The program itself works fine, but when I select to add some effects or transitions to my video clips, it just pops out. Does anybody know what the problem is? Thank you. :)

[Joseph]

Maybe the effects to render are a bit too heavy load for your machine. Do one effect at a time. Open Taskmanager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and keep it opened on the "Performance" tab. Watch the load on CPU and Memory while you play around with WMM.

[Tomb Raider Master]

It's not that. When I just click on an effect or on a transition, the window disappears.

[Joseph]

:confused: Looks like a bad install. Do you have installed all Windows updates and patches? :pi:

[Tomb Raider Master]

Hmmm... I believe not. See, I re-installed my Windows a couple of weeks ago and when I got my computer back, I saw that some version of Windows Movie Maker (I don't know which exactly) is on it, so I have installed THIS VERSION (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/SZM/WindowsMovieMaker.jpg). Now, I have asked my friend about it and he also said that I probably have installed something wrong. And one more thing to add: since I got my computer back I don't have those Automatic Updates anymore. Can they be downloaded from somewhere?

[Joseph]

In Internet Explorer top menu, open Tools / Windows Update.

[Joseph]

To my knowledge, Windows Movie Maker is automatically installed with SP2.

To know which version of WMM you have, click on menu Help > Info. I guess you have version 5.1 like i have.

[Tomb Raider Master]

OK, I've installed all the updates, restarted my computer and installed Windows Movie Maker again, but the situation is the same. :( BTW, it's the 5.1 version.

[Joseph]

Sorry. Could you re-summarize what happened on your pc since you reinstalled Windows? Did you reinstall it yourself or someone else (you said "since i got my computer back") ?

And could you post your dxdiag report please?

Click Start > Run... type in
dxdiag
Click OK.
Choose to "Save all information"
Open the file in Notepad, select all then copy and paste the complete text into your next reply?

[Tomb Raider Master]

Me re-installing the Windows? :confused: You gotta be kiddin'! :o :p

About that 'dxdiag' thing, I got this message when trying to post it:

The text that you have entered is too long (48579 characters). Please shorten it to 30000 characters long.

[Joseph]

I trust that can be solved.

In the meantime, use this method then:

Diagnose.exe (http://simulation.tombraiderforums.com/trhub/download/diagnose.exe)

Click on the link, choose to Run. Give it a few moments to create the report, paste the text into your next reply?

[Joseph]

Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 1 (2600.xpsp1.020828-1920)

You really should install SP2, Tomb Raider Master!

[Tomb Raider Master]

OK, I'm downloading it right now. :wve: (266 MB, whew!)

[Joseph]

And after you installed it, keep doing Windows Update (all essential updates) untill it is finished.

And then, your C-Media drivers are out of date. Probably you can find them in "optional updates" on the Windows Update site.

[Tomb Raider Master]

Joseph :wve:

I have installed SP2. Now can you please give me a direct link so I can solve the problem with my C-Media drivers? Appreciate it. :)

[Joseph]

I don't know exactly which one from this page (http://www.cmedia.com.tw/e_download_01.htm), Tomb Raider Master.

Couldn't Windows Update offer you the right one?

We can sort it out. Is it the onboard soundchip you have (rather than their pci-card)?

If onboard soundchip, i am certain you need to download and install this one: CM1976A/6CH AC'97 2.3 CODEC from above page. :)

[Tomb Raider Master]

Hang on. You said that proper C-Media drivers for my computer are installed via Automatic Updates?

[Joseph]

No: you could try. Look on the Windows Update page. On the left pane you should see a link for optional updates / driver updates?

[Edit: forget that. They had that in their previous version. It seems to be over now. :( Well follow my link in earlier post then, should be allright. :)]

[Tomb Raider Master]

OK, I came up to this point:

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/SZM/C-Media.jpg

There are only 1st and 5th options available to download. Should I download these?

[Joseph]

Where is that from? :)

[Edit: i see. C-media changed their download files. Hang on.]

[Tomb Raider Master]

It's from HERE (http://www.cmedia.com.tw/download/e_UDA039_02.htm). :wve:

[Joseph]

Please download Everest Home Edition (http://www.jozefdekkers.nl/everesthome200.zip) to your desktop. Extract to new folder you named "EverestHome". Open the folder, doubleclick the setup.exe to install the program and execute a report. In the left window pane, you will see in the rootstructure: "Devices" Click on the + next it, then on "Physical Devices", to see the details in the pane at the right.
Could you post the complete list from the right pane?

[Joseph]

I edited my last post.

[Tomb Raider Master]

Of course, but some parts are in Croatian. Is that OK?

[Joseph]

No problem. The devices descriptions will be in international english i suppose. :)

[Tomb Raider Master]

OK, here you go: :)

http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/8739/31es.jpg

Is that OK?

[Joseph]

"C-Media CMI 8738 Audio chip"

[Joseph]

Here is the latest driver (http://www.cmedia.com.tw/download/OS-e-cmi8738_WDM_OS.htm)for your C-Media product.

Yeah... 2002... newer not available. So: the latest. :)

[Tomb Raider Master]

It can't open the page. :confused:

[Joseph]

I can. :(
Just click 'cancel' to the request to install languages.

[Tomb Raider Master]

Sorry, but I can't find what you mean. :( Can you please be a little bit more specific what to select? :)

[Joseph]

Yes: The webpage: http://www.cmedia.com.tw/download/OS-e-cmi8738_WDM_OS.htm

[Tomb Raider Master]

OK. ;) And now what? :o

[Joseph]

Wait. Suddenly it appears their downloadpage does not work. Maybe they're just backing up atm.?

[Tomb Raider Master]

I don't know. But in the meantime, check your PM please. :)

[Joseph]

The download links on the C-Media webpage do not work. :mad:

[Joseph]

Download CMedia CMI-8738 5.12.01.0644 Date added: 4/4/2004 from HERE (http://drivers.soft32.com/driver/download-CMedia_CMI_8738-24616.html) . :)

[Tomb Raider Master]

OK, I have downloaded and un-zipped it. :) Is that all?

[Joseph]

Install it.
First uninstall old drivers.

[Tomb Raider Master]

Installed! :wve: But how to uninstall my old drivers?

[Joseph]

You should have first uninstall the old drivers.
But OK. Do you have sound?

[Tomb Raider Master]

Joseph:
You should have first uninstall the old drivers.
Sorry, you have edited your post when I have left to install it. :)

Joseph:
Do you have sound?
What do you mean? :confused: Of course I have.

[Joseph]

Then all went well. It will have made Windows use the latest drivers. :)

[Joseph]

Now reinstall Directx9.0c (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0a9b6820-bfbb-4799-9908-d418cdeac197&displaylang=en).

[Tomb Raider Master]

Done! :wve: That was fast BTW! ;)

[Joseph]

What was fast?

[Tomb Raider Master]

Umm... The installation. Or I did something wrong again? :o

[Joseph]

The installation of Directx9.0c went quick? Should be ok, because it will only repair or install what's missing and maybe overwrite the rest with the same data which should be quick too. All cool i think.

Now defragment your hdd.

[Tomb Raider Master]

OK. :) It will take a while.

[Joseph]

Why? If you do that on a regulary basis, it would take no more than a few minutes. :)

[Tomb Raider Master]

And how to do that?

[Joseph]

How to do what? Please could you start to be more clear with your questions? ;)
Because your first reply was
OK. :) It will take a while.
i assume you know how to defragment your hdd?

[Tomb Raider Master]

Of course I know. :p But you said something about 'regulary basis'. What do you mean by that? :)

[Joseph]

By that i mean: do it ofter than once in 2 years (as many do! :hea: ).

I do it more than once a day. Because i always want the hdd be in best condition. Bad fragmented hdd can be cause of many malfunctions! Also, the defragmenter could notice data corruption and suggest you to use checkdisk. BTW: now that's an excellent idea:

Click Start > Run.... type in:
chkdsk /f
Click OK. In the upcoming prompt, answer with Y.
Reboot the PC.

[Tomb Raider Master]

Finished! :wve:

[Joseph]

*sigh* Finished what? Defrag or checkdisk?

[Tomb Raider Master]

Checkdisk (sorry :o). :D
It's defragmenting right now. :wve: But it's still slow.

[Joseph]

Ah ok. It is 'slow' (having a very tough job right now) because the last time you did it wasn't yesterday was it? ;)

[Tomb Raider Master]

You read me like a book... :o :p

[Tomb Raider Master]

Ah, it's done (defragmentation). :wve:

[Joseph]

Very well! Congratulations! :tmb:

Now let's see if your Windows Movie Maker has recovered from its illness. :)

[Tomb Raider Master]

Jeez, I totally forgot about it! :o :p Yeah, everything is working perfectly! :tmb: Thank you! :hug:

[Joseph]

So your problem is solved then? :) :D

[Tomb Raider Master]

Yes! :jmp:

[Joseph]

:hug: Well done Tomb Raider Master! :tmb:

[Tomb Raider Master]

Well done you! :tmb: This was an unforgettable hi-tech mission for me! :D :p
