Windows Movie Maker can't start

Solution 1:

When I see the following:

Standard VGA Graphics Adapter

and

DDI Version: unknown

Driver Model: unknown

DirectDraw Acceleration: Not Available

Direct3D Acceleration: Not Available

AGP Texture Acceleration: Not Available

... I get the impression that you don't actually have video drivers installed. Windows wouldn't be using Standard VGA Graphics Adapter if you had the correct video drivers installed. Of course, if you had booted to Safe Mode, and Windows disabled your video drivers temporarily for the session, then it would use them. Otherwise, it shouldn't.

According to the driver download page from HP, you've got your Intel HD Graphics 3000 for normal usage, and AMD Mobilty Radeon HD 6470M for hard core (gaming, etc) usage. So, I would start here at HP, choose which of the three listed fits you, then choose the operating system (not just Win7 64 bit, but which one), and go to Driver - Graphics. Download both the AMD and the Intel installers, and install both.

Then, see if Movie Maker will work properly.
