Error message coming up sayin slideshow is too long.

[Heather]

Hey all,
Your help is needed and quickly. I am making a slideshow for school with a
few hundred photos. My slideshow is allowing me to add more photos, however,
I am trying to fit music into places and it's telling me that my slideshow is
longer then 24 hours and can't be published or that 6 hours will make my
slideshow hard to publish. In reality, I'm only at 30 minutes. Help. It's 3am
and I cannot get this going.

You may have a compatibility problem with your
source files.

Many formats are reportedly compatible with
Movie Maker but the most reliable choices are:

Photos - bmp
Video - wmv or dv-avi
Music - wma, wav, wmv

Also be aware the large complex projects can
cause problems.
