I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits and installed the XP mode. It came with Windows Movie Maker installed, but when I want to run it, I receive the message: "Windows Movie Maker cannot be used with Remote Desktop Connection or Terminal Services". What does this mean? I like this software, the other that comes with Windows 7, "Windows DVD Maker" I cannot put the video clips and pictures in the sequence that I choose, it separates the movies from the pictures and then I have them out of the sequence I took them. Any suggestion?
Movie Maker is included in Live Essentials 2011 for Vista / 7:
Is there an option to install only what I want from Live Essential? I not want the messenger, I use skype. and I hate that Bing bar, I was happy I could get rid of it (it came with IE.
Also Movie Maker should work in XP mode, since it works on WIndows XP.
Did you install Movie Maker while in WinXp mode? I suggest you try running Movie Maker directly from Windows 7. I have found programs running in XP mode to be much slower. I have ample RAM installed but it really drags.
I am sure you can configure Live Essentials to only use the features you want.
Thanks for your reply. I could choose what I wanted installed from Live Essentials. The Movie software from Live Essentials tells me it opens the projects from Movie Maker (.MSWMM), but when I try to open them, it says that the file may be corrupt. I just used the file in Windows XP and there the same works fine... It will be a lot of work to make the projects all new... :-(
