Question

Can not operate photos as slide show in windows live mail

Aug 1, 2012 1:14AM PDT

Error message is
"problem with live movie maker"

Same error message on all emails with photos.

I have reinstalled windows essentials - windows live movie maker and windows live photo gallery.
I have tried microisoft's "fix it"

I have updated all w7's updates

All other programs and systems are working.

What is wrong and how do I fix it?

Can not operate photos as slide show in windows live mail

That would be fine but what other programs are compatible with WLM. I have a top level movie program on another computer that I have used for years to make movies on DVD. Could that be adapted. I have tried google again to find a substitute program but apparently windows live movie maker, windows live photo gallery and windows live mail are all interconnected within Windows Live Esentials.

Since the error message given when I try to use the slide show feature in the WLM email is constant, how can the error be corrected and why does WLMM not defer to WLPG for presenting slide shows?

There must be a solution to this as many of our friends have no trouble using slide shows in WLM on their W7 computers.
