I had run WMM before this, but I'd run WL updates since. It isn't a program I use often, this was probably the 3rd time using (trying to use) it. The install date on WL was 14 May 2011, but WL Sync was 16 March 2010 (the date I received my notebook from Lenovo). I remember installing sync as well as WL, but it is possible it came preloaded. Since I didn't have a copy of Win7 I didn't do a fresh install to get rid of all of the crapware like I normally would. After uninstalling all components of WL I reinstalled, WMM tries to open as before and then closes. But if I run as admin it will full open now. Thanks for the help Tripredacus.

Just logged in as my admin account to check on a driver and my drives are not appearing here now. I looked into the registry entry you mention, There is no explorer entry under Policies. Is this something I can add?

PatrolPro? WinPatrol Plus maybe? I don't know of anything called patrolpro or see anything in task manager's running processes for patrol other than WinPatrol. I killed that and had the same problem. There are 12 files in the \Log\ folder all from the 5th of August. Here they are all in a zip; http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29605000/WLSetupLogs.zip Thanks for looking so far.

I can not get anything to show up in procmon. I added the exclusion if process name is MovieMaker.exe then include. If process name includes movie then include. Neither of them capture anything. Can I clear out all of the preset excludes or will that mess things up for it? [edit]I deleted one of the includes and it worked. uploading the zips now (I did all 3 options since you didn't specify which format you wanted[/edit]

It shows up for about 6 seconds then closes. Nothing shows up in Event Viewer. I have tried logging in as my admin account and have the same issue as I do when using my standard user account.

My kids have been playing around with my new camcorder and I was trying to do some video editing with them using Windows Movie Maker in Windows 7 Professional x86. The last time I tried to use WMM I had to run it as admin or it never started. Today it won't start as standard user or admin. I don't see anything in the Event viewer. I ran the Windows Live Essentials repair tool but still no luck. Any ideas on how to get this working again?

It was, but it wasn't the EzShare. It is ArcSoft, a video editing program that is bundled on the camera. Normally I just use ACDSee or Picasa, but since this was video editing I decided to give it a try. Never again.

Was hoping for another option (I prefer a fix instead of a reset button), but I went with it and it worked. Thanks MagicAndre.

When I open Windows Explorer in Windows 7 Professional 32bit SP1, Computer doesn't appear on the left any longer and when I enter Computer into the search bar the window is blank. None of my drives; local, removable or network appear. It was working earlier today, I got a new camera that came bundled with video editing software. I installed it to see what all it had, it was an hour or two later I found this change had happened. I have since uninstalled the software but there was no change. Computer: After I insert a thumb drive: Anyone have an idea on how to restore this? I do have a system restore point to two days ago after a critical update was installed. I have never had any luck with system restores however.
