===========================================
Is it a large project? Sounds like system resource issues.

Try disconnecting from the net and closing all programs...
especially virus scanners before opening Movie Maker.

And it may help to run Disk Cleanup.

Also...you may have some compatibility issues with your
source files...see the following article:
