How to add a digital signature to my program?

Windows Movie Maker crashes when I add video?

• I have Windows XP, and Windows Movie Maker 2.1.4028.0 and it's been working fine. All of a sudden, when I try to add my AVI files into the timeline, it freezes and I have to shut it down. I can add music fine though, and it's never had problems with my .avi files before. I don't know why this is any different. It is also coming up with an error when I open the program, "WMM has encountered a problem and needs to close." and hitting Debug or Send Error Report is pointless, so I just hit Don't Send. Reading more details on it, it says the following under Error Signature: "AppName: moviemk.exe AppVer: 2.1.4028.0 ModName: qedit.dll ModVer: 6.5.2600.5512 Offset: 0001b2f1" Which, I'm not the best with computers so, it means nothing to me. Does anybody know what it might mean? The odd thing is, I can ignore this error and use the program behind the popup, and it all seems fine, except of course...I can't add any .avi files. So yes. Does this help? I really hope somebody can help me figure this out! Thanks!

• Answer:

  Hi, check this list below. I believe your problem may be the builtin xp video media thumbnail pic previewer. Disable it with the instructions below then check the rest of the list. Here is some info on the xp video media thumbnail viewer followed by instructions and the rest of the list to check. I recommend you disable the builtin xp video media thumbnail pic previewer. This thing is most likely your problem, it will lockup or freeze an xp computer sometimes even just on startup if any videos are saved to the desktop or opening any folders with videos and sometimes while playing videos especially avi format. If this thing sees one file that doesn't agree with it, then it will freeze your pc also. Only thing you will lose is ability to see preview thumbnail pics for videos in folders, but your pc will never freeze again while dealing with videos. I recommend you keep it disabled at all times, but it can be re-enabled if wanted at any time. You will never get that file cannot be moved or deleted again or video file in use message also. DISABLE - click start - click run - type in cmd and click ok - type in regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll then press enter and it should be successful. (You can copy and paste that command in just like it is.) Re-Enable - click start - run - type in cmd and click ok - type in regsvr32 shmedia.dll then press enter and it should successfully re-enable media thumbnail viewer. (You can copy and paste that command in just like it is.) Other than that also make sure you video hardware accleration is set to full, Click start - control panel - display - last tab over at top settings - advanced tab at bottom - troubleshoot tab at top - make sure the slider is set all the way to full - click apply then ok - then click ok again to close it out 1. Could be some files corrupted somewhere. Click start - my computer - right click on (c) drive - go to second tab over tools - under error checking click on check now - checkmark automatically fix errors now - you will probably be asked to restart so it can check the disk. You can also checkmark the second box if you want but it will take a while to do the disk check. If it fixes anything you may have to reinstall some programs. 2. You may have a program or codec conflict somewhere. You never want more than one codec pack installed at a time. Sometimes converting programs carry their own codecs and can conflict unknowingly. Windows movie maker can disable certain codecs in the options list. If haali media splitter is configured for avi and mpg/mpeg it will freeze windows movie maker everytime. Haali comes with all codec packs so you may have it, it will be a little white icon next to your clock. 3. Hit control alt delete and make sure you don't have too many programs open all at once eating up memory. I hope this helps you out. Good luck!
