Fix Windows Movie Maker – Registry Concerns & Issues
Did you know that some Windows Movie Maker errors are really registry problems? You will either have to revise or clean up your registry at times to fix Windows Movie Maker failures.
What you should´ve done was to back up all your important files, reinstall Windows, and THEN the install pack. This is a precaution you should take if you've been using your Windows for quite some time.
If you´ve performed several install and uninstalls of different applications, data fragments and orphaned files may cause errors in future installations. Even using the Add/Remove Programs Wizard does not mean that all the components of a previous application or device were properly deleted from your registry.
File duplicates and fragments may cause Windows Movie Maker and other programs to be confused as to which file to access to boot or perform a command, causing error messages to appear and your PC to lag or hang.
If an Antivirus tool does not have updated definitions for viruses that have made their way into the registry files used by Movie Maker, it may be insufficient to repair Windows Movie Maker problems as well.
Microsoft Help and Support recommends that you add a new registry value through Registry Editor. For a step–by–step procedure, go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/moviemaker/21/faq.mspx
It is critical that you back up your important data files, as well as your registry, before using Registry Editor. If you delete or move a registry file by mistake, you could slow down your system or, worse, crash it beyond repair.
If you aren´t sure of how to deal with a registry issue, the most practical solution is to run a registry cleaning and repair tool, such as RegCure. It safely deals with registry errors by automatically backing up vital files before it deletes file duplicates and fragments.
What´s more, it does a more thorough job of weeding out malware that has found its way into your registry by mimicking legitimate files. This is a problem that many malware removers still can´t safely solve.
After you run RegCure, you will even be able to effectively fix Windows Movie Maker installation and lockup issues since no old files or data fragments will be left over from old applications.

If you performed an upgrade by installing the pack OVER your current Windows program, you could've messed your Windows registry up.What you should´ve done was to back up all your important files, reinstall Windows, and THEN the install pack.
