I recently (last month) bought a new HP Pavalion a1730n with Windows Vista
Home Premium. I have been using Movie Maker and DVD Maker wihtout any
problems until today. Suddenly I am not able to open a previously saved
project file in movie maker! Here's what happens....I open Movie Maker, click
on File, Open, and double click the file. It begins to load the pictures that
are in the file (they show up in the storyboard), and then apparently just
stops. The mouse spins in its little circle, and the only way to close movie
maker is through task manager, end task. I've even waited up to an hour to
see if maybe it was just taking a super long time to open my project. It is
not a large file - only 100 photos which total about 8 min long. I have also
tried opening other projects that I had previously saved. It will not open
those either.

I called HP tech support and they can't help. They wanted to transfer me to
someplace where they'd charge me for it! Microsoft is closed until Monday. I
need to get working on this project now! And instead of spending the last two
hours working on the project, I've been searching the internet trying to find
a way to open my project!! If you have any suggestions, I would really
appreciate it.

Maybe Microsoft recently updated something in vista that screwed it up? Is
anyone else having this problem?
