    What versions of iLife and iMovie are we talking about?

    (This has nothing to do with your Acer Aspire One, though.)

    do the rest of your iLife programs work?

    if so maybe there was an error during the installation and you could try re-installing it?

    i doubt it but maybe it has something to do with the resolution. again i doubt it but if everything else works and you repaired the installation then maybe you might want to try the CS3 installation trick located here?

    hope that helps

    I've got iATKOS v4 10.5.4 running on my One and iLife 08 and iMovie launched fine. Which version of OSX have you installed?

    Make sure that QE is working. That causes a lot of trouble for iMovie etc.

    Quartz Extreme/Core Image. Graphics acceleration (in a nutshell). If your menu bar is transparent, you have it enabled (you can also check in System Profiler, "Graphics" tab).
