File Opening Error - "Version Not Supported"

[Stout]

I'm a high school teacher, and for one project, many of my students chose to
create their project using Windows Movie Maker. Students that saved their
movies to CD's have been playing OK, but when I try to open the projects from
students that E-mailed them to me or gave them to me on flash drives, I get
the following error:

"The file C:\Documents and Settings\...1-Japanese.MSWMM was created by a
version of Windows Movie Maker that is not supported." (where
"1-Japanese.MSWMM is the name of the file).

and the file will not open. Any ideas what we're (me or the students) are
doing wrong?

I'm running Windows Movie Maker 2.1.4026.0 under Windows XP Professional
SP2....

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

saving to a CD renders the movie to it... WMV files...

those who emailed the project file haven't sent the movies.... they have the
Save Movie to Email option.... they could use it, and it'll render a WMV
movie and attach it to an email... or they can save the movie to the hard
drive as a WMV, and then attach the file to an email.
