Live Movie Maker stopped working

25. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: ,
I have version 2011 build 15.4.3555.0308
Windows 7 Home Premium
Nvidia GTX 780 graphics card driver version 331.82

I am an experienced tech. I cant figure out why this has happened. I have for a month, been using Live Movie Maker to edit .mp4 clips.
All of the sudden, it will not view, or edit or play any file type. I did no updates, not video driver, not windows, not anything. All updates are turned off.
I have searched this issue, found several similar posts, tried everything seeming relevant (most wasn't), it won't work on any file of any type from anywhere.

NEVER had one hiccup before of any kind. 300+ files edited perfectly, now zero.

"The file might be corrupted or in a format that Movie Maker doesn't recognize. This movie can't be saved or published until (filename) is removed from the project."

"Error: 0x87160139"

My video becomes choppy when I save it–what do I do?

My video becomes pixelated and choppy when I save it.  I tried looking at whether my video driver is outdated, don't understand another thread's instructions on looking for codecs, but my computer is fairly new so I don't think it would be outdated.  The videos I'm using are not exorbitantly large.  I tried saving it in the optimal format, the format for e-mail and for the computer but all of them turn out choppy, except when I save it in the Windows Live Movie Maker format.  Can someone please help me on this problem?
