Can't open Windows Movie Maker
« on: May 12, 2015, 08:47:03 am »
Hi. I used WMM  and it worked fine. I decided to change the music, so I tried to fix it the next day.  I have been unable to open WMM since.  I ran Tweaking scan and got message that I have problems with files, and I have no idea what to do now.

I used WMM successfully. The next day I decided to change the music, but was unable to open WMM.  I've tried since with no luck.  I ran Tweaking.com scan and got the following message, but I don't know how to fix it.

Have you tried your restore points back to before you changed anything ?

Thanks for replying.  Yes, I have tried 7 or 8 different restore points.  Actually, I haven't tried any since I ran the Tweaking.com scans.  I'll do it now and get back to you.

Thanks, again,

Boyd Bilbo.

I tried System Restore. Bad news and bad news; I couldn't go farther back than when the problem occurred, and the System Restore was unsuccessful anyway.

None of those in the pre-scan would effect it. Make sure to have my program do a registry backup and then make sure to run all the repairs. Also make sure to run them in safe mode so that no 3rd party program gets in the way :wink:

Although your restore points weren't of help this time, if they report as unsuccessful in future then try them in Safe Mode as your AV program can disrupt that operation.
