Vista - Movie maker project cannot play

Hi

I have prepared a project using Movie Maker, it can play initially, but it
cannot play after several versions. There have not been missing files.

Has anyone encounter same problem?

Cheers,

I have experienced the same problem. I was working on a project and managed
to publish it as an avi file. I saved the file alright. Later I wanted to
make some more change to it. The story line would no longer play. Does
anybody know of any work arounds?

I created a project and made changes throughout the day. It always played
back fine. The minute I saved the project, something happened. I can open it
and I see that all the media are there but it won't play back. Is this the
same type of problem you had?

Thanks

There are a bunch of posts on this board about this same problem. Looks like
we're stuck waiting for Microsoft to fix the problem. It makes me want to go
out and buy a real movie making program.

I have the same problem: Dig This, I went to DVD maker and selected my
movie, It made my DVD, COOL, Then went back to movie maker and it played
the first time I opened the file. CRAZY.
BUT, the next time I tried to open the same movie in Movie Maker, It
wouldn't play again.
PLEASE HELP ME MICROSOFT or Anyone.

same problem here. infuriating, wasted time - saved the project carefully all
along and then - it seems to be adding transitions that screws everything up
- kablooey!
so frustrating... perfectly good saved project file -- as though
cryogenically frozen awaiting the future cure from MS before it shall be
thawed out to breathe again! too bad i'm on a bit of a deadline.

c'mon guys, this totally blows!

Hey Everybody
I tried all kinds of things until about midnight. Then decided to "publish"
my movie to my computer just to see what happened. It actually played! Then
I went back to my project and there it was - UNFROZEN! I'm scared it will
happen again though. We need good answers.
