[Sticks]

Yesterday while trying to make a in Windows Movie maker, my desktop started crashing when I have been trying to add to the timeline avi files. Sometimes it happens when I try and do a fade in or fade out on a movie file. It has even happened when I did publish movie or even import movie files.

At first I feared it was a corrupted video files in my camera, but the video files worked fine on my laptop with no problem, which was where the video was made.

I then found it would happen with files that a few months earlier, in January I successfully made a movie with on the desktop.

These crashes have even given me the Blue screen of death twice, but most of the time the whole pc freezes and I have to do a hard restart.

I could not seem to find a free download of Windows Movie Maker 6, integral to Vista on the Microsoft website. I assume I need to reinstall Movie Maker. As I bought my PC at PC world I thought the Tech Guys could sort it, but when I rang I was told this is not in their domain as it involves Microsoft software.

It has been suggested I update the graphics card driver, which I will try although that to me is quite scary as it goes outside my normal expertise..

In case I loose the whole desktop, I better let you know of the problem.

It was nice knowing you
