When Windows closes a program because of compatibility issues, it is because some programs could damage Windows if you try to run them. If Windows notices that an incompatible program might harm your computer (for example, by damaging important system files), Windows will close the program.

You might want to ensure your Windows Movie Maker is up-to-date with fixes/patches. This can be achieved by enabling Automatic Updates. If the program continues to close for unknown reasons, you should download and re-install the program again.

It should not close on its own once you have saved your movie to the computer. Check your version of Windows Movie Maker to ensure it is up-to-date with patches, fixes, etc.

There is no Windows Movie Maker 5.It's either v2.1 (for Xp) or v2.6 f(or Vista).In any case, it sounds like there are some issues with whichever version you are using. I would suggest you uninstall the program and reinstall it from one of the URLs I've posted below:Windows Movie Maker v2.1 (for Xp):http://www.brothersoft.com/windows-movie-maker-76169.htmlWindows Movie Maker v2.6 (for Vista):http://www.brothersoft.com/windows-movie-maker-67210.html

How do you stop Windows Movie Maker from running?

I am going to assume you are getting an error message something like this:Another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computer. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again.If you know for sure that another user is not running the application or another session is not in progress, here's what you do to ensure the program (and all running instances) is closed:> Click Ctrl + Alt + Del> Click on Start Task Manager> If you see Windows Movie Maker in the window that opens, click End Task> If you don't see it in that window, open the Processes tab> Find the instance(s) of WMM in the list (look for MOVIEMK.exe)> Click End ProcessThat is how you close any applications running in the background (or other instances of programs). And too, just to be on the safe side, I suggest rebooting, doing a defrag and disk cleanup before opening Windows Movie Maker again.

How do you delete a current session windows movie maker?

Delete a current session? Close the program without saving.Unless of course you are trying to close a session that is currently running in the background (as an Error message would suggest)?If you get a message that says something like: 'Windows Movie Maker is already running. Please close the session before restarting...' then it means the process is currently in use and must be terminated first. To do that is easy:> Click Ctrl + Alt + Delete at the same time> Click on Task Manager> Click on Applications tab (if it isn't already on it)> Click on Windows Movie Maker icon> Then click on End Task (on the bottom)
