I am trying to use it to create a movie but every time i try and save a movie i keep getting not enough space despite the fact the file is estimated to be 15 mb and i have 59gb free. I noticed when i have the task manager open, when movie maker is running tht the PF usage goes up from 180mb to 1.53gb!! Is there anything i can do to solve this, i have increased the virtual mem. i have 512 DDR and a 100gb hard disk.  i know the program use's of mem and that its not the best program, but its all i got.

try www.papajohn.org you should find some solution there.
If that fails look for the microsoft windows movie maker newsgroup.

I've had VirtualDub recommended to me for this (tis free); to be honest I never found WMM to be particularly worthwhile (limited encoding options, bit hard to find out how to do certain things - i.e. no soundtrack overlaying AFAIK, apparently a fixed resolution).

Movie Maker is quite good if you learn to use it, setting up custom resolution and bitrate requires the Windows Media Profile Editor but it's not a great effort...
Remember it's something aimed at the very basic user and not to skilled or semipro ones...

Ah, but I am the basic user...............all I was doing was squeezing together 3-4 little avi clips at 800-ish resolution.

Try the link i posted before...
You'll discover that with a bit of work you can obtain good results even with MM2...

Nah, i got something better & free that encodes to a better format than WMV anyways.

I just dislike WMM from having to piece together a project with it and finding it to be pretty awful as a result.

cheers guys, i was doing the same as aldo, just putting 4 avi clips together, the movie was only 1:20 long. i would prefer to get something like Abobe, i like there software, wot i used when i used to be at college, but its to expensive.
