check my website's Problem Solving > Can't Save a Movie page...
the issue is common and usually doesn't need the installation or
reinstallation of something.... depending on how far along it gets before
getting stuck, it could be a memory-related issue that can save on the next
attempt... or a project that is too complex and needs to be rendered in
parts.... or it could be that you're using a video clip that uses a codec
that won't work in Movie Maker.
