Thanks for the help.

8 pages of nonsense answers from the Microsoft Support Staff. Let me ask the question in simple terms all of us posting here it seems have been using Windows Movie Maker for 2 years or so without a problem they overnight it no longer works and your answers to the solution is our video card. That is a poor answer we did nothing different so the problem is on your side. BTW-The same problem is in Windows DVD Maker it started the same time as the Movie Maker Problem.

The Intel Atom based on the Intel site shows it has

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150

Reference

 http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-031160.htm

The latest graphics driver update offered is from calendar year 2010

 http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/processors/atom

 Look in the left hand side under Support Resources and click on Downloads and Drivers

  - Select your operating system and then select drivers

The list of available drivers should be shown.

Note: If you have the same driver installed, reinstalling may not (unlikely) resolve any issues you may have with Movie Maker (and or Error code c945000e).

What you have not provided in your question/request

 -- whether or not the available KB2741355 update has been installed and prior to the latest Windows Essentials 2012 QFE1 update.

 KB update- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2741355

 - if you have not installed the KB update or updated Window Essentials 2012 QFE1 update then those should be done first and Movie Maker 2012 retested prior to attempting any driver update/replacement.
