Windows XP Movie Maker 2 Headaches: Movie Maker works very slowly.

Cause Movie Maker works with graphics and sound files, which consume a lot of system resources. If your Windows XP system is low on system resources, such as RAM or processor speed, you'll notice that Movie Maker will work more slowly.

The Pain Killer The only solutions are to make sure you have all other applications closed when Movie Maker is running and to upgrade your computer's hardware if necessary. Movie Maker's minimum requirements are a 300 MHz processor and 64MB of RAM. Of course, systems that have better processor speed and more RAM will perform much better.
