Movie Maker Help!!!

I have windows 7 and a brand new computer (1 month old) – which means I should be able to go to windows live and install movie maker from windows live essentials 2011. Which I did. Windows photo gallery and movie maker install together – the photo gallery opens. the movie maker crashes immediately upon opening. Despite the fact that they download as a package. which leads to me believe, the error MUST be on my computer. But I can’t figure it out.

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling movie maker/photo gallery- I tried running as an administrator, I tried running the program with my computer in safe mode and an error message said that I do not have the system requirements, but my computer uses an i7 processor, 2 GB of ram and an NVDIA processor. I am certain I DO have the required equipment – any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!!

I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with DELL – in which the guy established that everything on my computer is working (already knew that) and that I should contact microsoft – but I have already posted in microsoft forums and nobody has a solution. everyone says it is some compatibility issue on my computer.

 

Please help me fix my movie maker!!!! or send this to any of your tech savy friends.
