Error Message "Movie Maker has stopped working" occurred whenever I try to start Windows Movie Maker in Windows Vista

You may encounter “Windows Movie Maker has stopped working” error message if an incompatible video filter is installed on the computer.

Movie Maker uses filters to decode audio and video. If Movie Maker stops functioning, in some cases it is because of incompatible filters used. By disabling third party components and codecs in compatibility tab you can set it to start working again.

If Movie Maker stops working before configuring these settings then you need to configure Movie Maker in Safe mode to make the necessary changes. Here’s how you do it:


  • Click
  • Click All Programs.

  • Click Accessories.

  • Click Command Prompt.

  • Type “CD \program files\movie maker”, and then press ENTER at the command prompt.

  • Type “moviemk.exe /safemode”, and then press ENTER.

  • Click Tools, and then click Options when Movie Maker starts.


  • Click Compatibility tab.
  • In Filters section, click to uncheck the check boxes of any third party video filters that are not required.
  • Click OK
