Best way to keep windows movie maker from crashing is to uninstall it.
As sad as it is, WMM was born only to die. It's only a matter of time before it starts to bug out on people like it's bugging out on you.

But seriously now, this should probably go in the WMM section (don't worry, a mod will move this for ya.) I'd also recommend looking at the WMM FAQ.

your totally right but don't have anything better so i have to use it for now

Might I suggest the software sticky in the general video section.

There are some free programs on that list as well

Haha! Yeah, WMM sucks. Especially the XP version, it's a bit better on Vista but it still crashes all the time(dunno 'bout Windows 7 though, probably still as unstable as ever). I've used WMM ever since I started making music vids. It's okay for the small stuff, that is, when it actually does work.

I just recently started using the Adobe software for my MV's and it's a huge upgrade, although they're quite the price to pay so I won't be recommending those to you. What I can recommend though is this program called Pinnacle Studios, it's a lot like WMM but without all the epic failure.

There's nothing you can do to fix WMM really, it's just a shit program. The best thing to do would be to get some new video editing software.

Don't even bother with the Windows 7 version. It doesn't install with the OS, and the version available (Windows Live MM) is nerfed all to hell. You can seriously only make basic slideshow with it now. On the other hand, it seems we got our wish. Microsoft seems to have literally KILLED WMM. May it stay dead.
