WMM version2 Crashes when adding title

Yes, I have the same issue!!!
MS didn't help; pointing to a possible corrupt dll (GdiPlus.dll). MS
suggested chkdsk and that did not do anything to fixing it.
The post below didn't help either.

Anybody else, please help?

Thanks.

===================================
Did you try reducing your Graphics
Hardware Acceleration as suggested
in the "Movie Maker 2 Crashes and
Hangs" article?

The following KB article explains how
to do it:

Hi John,
Thanks - appreciate the help.
I did try that as well, and that also did not work.
I am really at wits end with this. Too bad, Movie Maker seems to have
everything I want.

============================
If you could describe exactly what your
project consists of and exactly how
the program is responding...(including
any errors) someone may be able to
offer some ideas.

BTW...some users have problems with
..mpg, .jpg, and .mp3 files. .wmv, .bmp,
and .wma may be more successful.

Thanks.
I open WMM 2.1. Within "Tasks" click on "Add title at the beginning of the
movie". I start to type in the title, and after ~4 normal keystokes, WMM
freezes. After a couple of seconds then the dialogue box comes up to send MS
the error report. The Error Signature is "EventType : InPageError P1 :
c000009c P2 : 00000003". I send the error to MS (continually crossing my
fingers), and MS replies via the web to look at solution "884070 - Storage
medium errors cause unexpected program crash in Windows XP". I then
performed the instructions on that note, but to no avail. The application
log shows event ID 1005: "Windows cannot access the file
:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.Windows.GdiPlus_659 5b64144ccf1df_1.0.2600.2180_x-ww_522f9f82\GdiPlus.dll".
"Error value: C000009C Disk type: 3". Event ID 1000 shows: "Faulting
application moviemk.exe, version 2.1.4026.0, faulting module GdiPlus.dll,
version 5.1.3102.2180, fault address 0x000dd150". Event ID 1001 shows:
"Fault bucket 00470146".
Then I have to acknowledge the sending of the report. WMM does not shut
down at this point. The hard drive spins as it is search for a file. I have
to go to task manager and close WMM as it says it is not repsonding.
Hope this helps.
Thanks John.

===================================
Thanks for the info...but I don't have the answer...
maybe someone else can offer some ideas.

I would suspect that reinstalling SP2 or updating
your video driver may help but am not certain.
