For Windows Movie Maker 2.1 You do not need the XP CD ROM because you have updated. C:WindowsService pack Filesi386moviemk.exe is needed
Comment #2 (Posted by drjamesr@aol.com)

So long as SP2 is installed the XP disk is not needed but the path needed when re-installing is C:windowsServicePackFilesi386moviemk.exe that is with an extra back slash from the path in comment 1

If you erased the sp2 files download this http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en then put that instead of the windows xp cd

NOTE: My computer (a Dell Inspiron) had directory structures a little different. Once I found the paths it worked great. Go to %systemroot%inf and right-click on moviemk.inf and hit install like the directions say. When you insert your CD and your computer says "I can't find this file" (assuming D: is your CD-ROM drive letter) set it to D:i386. That's where the moviemk.ex_ and .dll files are located. It takes a minute tops, and works great to fix the "missing transitions" error message. Hope this helps.

this worked for me, though my oem PC has an "i386" dir off the root which had the SP2 source files in. I noticed before doing this that the moviemk.exe file in the Movie Maker dir was not the right version (should be 2.1.4026.0 for MM2.1). After this re-install, it was back at the right version. The only thing I did inbetween was install MacOS look-alike interface called FlyakiteOSX - saw this also reported by someone else on a different forum.

Thanks a lot, A to Z !! I also had to install latest Direct X. Now I can drag MP2, MP3 and VMA sound tracks to timeline without problems. Consulting Microsoft gave nothing (as most of the time!) Wished I had a movie/picture/sound-computer dedicated for these purposes only, cleansed from 75% Microsoft that I don�t need.

That's Great if you have XP discs or SP2 discs, but this system is on the recovery partition. There were no disc's except the HD. Downloading and installing SP_2 manually doen't work either nor does buring an iso image onto a disc???? How about that..
Comment #37 (Posted by an unknown user)

Very helpful. But needs to include possibility that the CD is stored on the hard drive (such as c:WinXPsetupCD)

I was able to reinstall the WMM with the procedure. I have XP Pro x64 but for some reason WMM has to close right after opening the application. The same reaction as before I reinstalled it. The WMM worked when I installed the OS but recently hasn't. Any suggestions?

Ok, so if you're unable to locate the "wmm2ae.dll" files, I have the solution: There are 3 paths to find them: 1. C:Program FilesMovie Maker 2. C:WINDOWS$NtServicePackUninstall$ 3. C:WINDOWSServicePackFilesi386- I used this one. Hope this helps!. 8P

OK, this is the easiest most simplest way to fix the problem. Download Movie Maker from Download.com They don't have 2.0 not 2.1 but it's better than having no effects and transitions and whatnot. I did it and PROBLEM SOLVED

THE FOLLOWING DOES WORK! YOU NEED WINDOWS XP WITH SP2!!!! NOTE: You must be logged on as Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group in order to perform this procedure. Click Start , click Run , and then type the following command: %systemroot%inf NOTE : There are no spaces at all in the preceding command line. Click OK to open the INF folder. Locate the file moviemk.inf Right-click the file, and then click Install . This will reinstall the files that Search needs to proceed normally. You will be asked to place your windows XP cd rom in the drive.

THANK YOU for posting this. This solution did not fix my problem, but at least I could move forward with diagnosing the issue. MOVIE MAKER WOULD RUN FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS THEN SHUT DOWN. I found the solution on microsoft.com. ACCORDING TO MICROSOFT - Movie Maker will quit unexpectedly if more than 100 DirectShow video transitions or video effects are installed on your computer. I unintstalled WinDVD Creator and Movie Maker works fine. Follow this link to Microsoft's Movie Maker FAQ and diagnosis section. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/moviemaker/create/faq.mspx THANKS FOR BUILDING THIS PAGE!!!

This website was really helpful and I tried all the suggestions. The only one that eventually worked was #86. As soon as I uninstalled InterVideo WinDVD, then MovieMaker as able to launch without crashing.

What worked for me, My System HP Pav Windows XP Media Center SP3 As soon as I uninstalled InterVideo WinDVD, then MovieMaker as able to launch without crashing. I did read all 150 some posts and tried this first. One would think that Microsoft or InterVideo could fix this issue. Like most I do not have a XP install Disc. Thank you HP! It should be mandatory to include one with a Windows PC. My Good PC is running Linux with a working copy of Power DVD.
