This issue is known to occur if the graphics card driver is not updated properly. I would recommend you to update your graphics card driver.

Step 1:

Refer this link for more information:

You can also download the latest drivers for your graphic card from the manufacturer’s website.

Step 2:

If that doesn’t help, then uninstall Windows Movie Maker completely.

Follow these steps to uninstall Windows Movie Maker:

1. Go to start menu and click on Control panel.
2. Click on programs and then open Programs and Features
3. Select Movie Maker and then click Uninstall.

Refer this link:

Step 3:

Redownload Windows Live Movie Maker from the link mentioned below and reinstall it again.
