movie maker 2.0

[media]

ok i didnt have movie maker at all so i downloaded the older version and then updated to 2.0, everything worked fine until i did a system restore. now every time i try to open movie maker, it says 'unspecified error' with an X. so i tried deleting the whole thing and reinstalling it, it wont let me delete the folder, i tried deleting everything inside and reinstalling and it didnt work, i ran it on safe mode, deleted the whole folder, went back to normal boot and the folder was there again but it was empty, i reinstalled it again and now it doesnt even have the moviemaker.exe file in it. i dont know what else to try, its so frustrating ! please help me

[guestolo]

Do you have Service pack 2 installed for XP?

If not, you can install service pack 2 which should include MM 2.1

[media]

well i tried installing the service pack 2 update and it did 2 things and it still doesnt have movie maker 2. it still doesnt even have the .exe file :/ any other ideas ?

[guestolo]

Yup, the guy without Service pack 2 installed?

well i tried installing the service pack 2 update and it did 2 things and it still doesnt have movie maker 2. it still doesnt even have the .exe file :/ any other ideas ?

[media]

haha i went to the microsoft.com windows update thing and it said updating and it was done, give me the exact link please and ill do it.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx

thats the link i used and i clicked download sp2 microsoft update.

by the way, nice joke http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />  ^^^

[guestolo]

You will have to make sure that Automatic updates is enabled

Then use Internet Explorer and click on TOOLS>>Windows Updates
Choose Express when you reach the site
The best thing to do is too make sure that you have all High priority updates installed for SP1
Then return and install SP2

One note: on occassions, programs such as Daemon tools may cause problems
You may want to uninstall it beforehand

Also, I like to defrag the system before installing

[media]

alright i went back to the site and installed Express, it took forever and had like 48 objects i ran hijackthis to see if it said SP2 but it still says SP1, now what..?

is there anyway that they can trace me if i run these updates off of the site ? i got windows from a friend, i built my computer :/

[guestolo]

I think I'm going to get uninvolved in this one Media
You sound like your version of XP is illegal

This really isn't worth our times, there may be methods to repair MM on the web if you search around
Not able to update to SP2 sure doesn't help

Also, I notice this
O23 - Service: avast! iAVS4 Control Service (aswUpdSv) - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\aswUpdSv.exe (file missing)

Did you remove Avast?
If so, I would run the uninstall utility from Avast
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_uninstall_util.html

It doesn't appear to be running properly
NOTE: without updating to SP2, I would ensure you have a properly running Anti-virus on your computer
After you run the uninstall utility from Avast
I would either reinstall it or another version such as AVG or Avira

I would also ensure that you have a good firewall installed
Sunbelt kerio is a good one
http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio.cfm
The full version becomes a limited free version after 30 days

Also, I would uninstall Viewpoint Manager and/or viewpoint media player from add/remove programs
In addition, you should update your version of Java too the latest
In your control panel open the Java icon
Under The General tab>>Delete Files
Leave all options selected and click OK

Under the Update button click UPDATE NOW
IF the updater won't work, you can manually download the update from
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

After you are updated you can access your add/remove programs and remove any older versions of Java or older updates

[media]

yea avast pissed me off a lot so i removed it, i ran the real uninstall thing though and now its fully gone. i did the update thing for java too, and also removed viewpoint and everything with it. any way i can get the SP2 ? or are you not going to help me with that ? well im still tryin to get this mm2 working again, maybe ill figure it out most likely not haha.

[media]

alright i finally got the SP2 to work on my computer. i still get the unspecified error on movie maker 2.0 and i guess your still not goinng to help me with that, soo..thanks for trying i guess? ha, ill keep at it and hopefully ill figure it out.

[guestolo]

by the way, that mm.bat thing is very cool, haha ive never seen that.

[guestolo]

Can you navigate to the following folder
C:\Program Files\movie maker

Open the movie maker folder and double click on moviemk.exe

If you do get an error message, let me know the exact error message please

[media]

i get the same error as always, its a red circle with a white X in the middle of it, next to the circle with the X it says, "unspecified error", at the top it says windows movie maker, there is a button to press ok and thats it. if i dont click on it, the message goes away but it still doesnt work.

I'm not sure if this will help
Some of your files are wrong size or in the wrong directory
 but what if you download and save to desktop from below
Wmm.zip

Unzip too the following folder
C:\Program Files\Movie Maker
Reboot the computer

Does that help?

[media]

nope, i restarted it and im still getting the same error.

i noticed the files you gave me were for version 1 of movie maker, could that be a problem ?
