    I dont understand, I said i looked for moviemaker in c drive and in the start menu and couldnt find it. I reinstallled live essentails. the shortcut is still on my menu but when i open it i get the error message.

    I tried something else - i logged on as another user, installed live essentials and opened movie maker under this other user. It worked fine. So what have i done on the other user.

    Haven't the foggiest. Suggest you create a new user account, copy all your stuff to it and delete the old one when you're sure you've accounted for everything.

    its a mystery, but i think i will copy what i need onto the public folders and then it will be open to both users. Bl**dy spyware scans, my computer was fine before.

    Unless anyone has any better solutions this option will be fine for now, thanks everyone

    I once had to reinstall Nero after CCleaner broke it. It's possible something similar happened here.

    thanks, i feel happier that it isnt a virus. its not happened before but now i know to keep an eye on these programs. Just not sure which one did the damage.

    I'm inclined to blame anything that tinkers with the registry.
