If you remember the date when WMM was working fine, then do a system restore.
Pick that date or prior as your restore point.

Troubleshooting methods would be....
1. Do a system file check,.... sfc /scannow.

2. Run a full virus scan to make sure it is clean.

Use this link and install Windows Movie Maker 6.0 version.
http://movies.blainesville.com/2010/05/installing-windows-movie-maker-60-on.html
6.0 version is designed for Vista, but it works just the same in Windows 7.

I have that installed myself. In fact, my WMM that comes with Windows Essentials does not work at all. No crashes, it just won't open.
I use the 6.0 version since then.
