    Windows HD Live Movie Maker, my system doesn't meet the requirements?!

    Tried to get said program to start, but a box pops up saying that my system does not meet the system requirements which according to the site, I should meet, though it's not explained whether the dual core requirement needs to be 2.4 GHz or higher like the single core requirement, as it might be my issue since I'm on a Vaio CW with an Intel 2.16 GHz i3-330M, along with 4 GB of DDR3, Geforce 310M 256 MB, Win7 64 (full specs in sig).

    Funny thing is, I've ran this program before on my lappy here (and it ran surprisingly quite well). I had to reinstall it since I did a full system sweep a couple months back. Damn you MS, my machine is fast enough! My power usage is set to high performance as well. Anyone else have this issue and have a work around? Searching Google was difficult since the words involved did not link me to anything useful. Just mostly system requirement pages and pages with different issues.

    I would think people who develop and assign system requirements would be a bit more foresighted about not basing CPU needs on clock speed (assuming this is the issue). An i3, clock per clock, tears a Core 2 Duo to shreds, let alone a Pentium D.

    Additional required programs: Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows Media Player Do you have them installed?
    Check paging file and if it is enough space for Temp folder
