I'm having trouble finding this. I'm using an XP media center, and I'm not sure if it comes with this. Which would be bizzare...

Thank you good sir 
NECRO!
To avoid starting a new topic, I am posting here.
I am having trouble with my Windows Movie Maker and it seems to have the same problem that many other people have with it. As in freezing at critical points while I am trying to make a movie. It loves to freeze especially when I try and save the video to my computer. I hate this programme so god damn much and I was wondering is there a free/good alternative video editing software that you could recommend? If there are no free options, what do you recommend that has the best 'bang for the buck'?

It has a tendency to freeze if you try doing anything else while it's publishing the movie. Usually if you just leave it to get on with it it manages fine.
Can't speak for WMM specifically, but I can say that "Not Responding" doesn't always mean "Has crashed" Folthrik.

^ That.
WMM just gonna freeze. Gotta deal.
It doesn't like sharing power, as mentioned. Also, multiple short clips, large files, and many effects will make it lag more.
I found that clearing out my imported files tends to free things up more. Of course, when I need them again, I have to reimport, but it's a small price to pay.
[edit] Skipped your last sentence, but as far as I know, most video editing programs are going to give you a hard time one way or another.

I never said it crashed.Kronic said:Can't speak for WMM specifically, but I can say that "Not Responding" doesn't always mean "Has crashed" Folthrik.
I gave WMM around forty minutes to save, with all my imports deleted, and it wouldn't load. What's the approximate time I would have to wait for it to actually work? Because if it is going to take an hour or two to actually work, I am going to have to fit my time around that and plan on doing something else.

True, but it wasn't meant as a quote, but more of a descriptor.

Typically depends on:
1. How big the video is naturally.
2. How much you're compressing it and/or what options you're using to save it with.
3. How long the video is.
4. How many effects and/or sequences of short clips it uses.
And sometimes it just likes to be a *****, sometimes it won't actually save at all (which you'd have to break it down and save it in pieces, then reimport and save it as a whole video then).
