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 Process

That 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.

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
