Movie Maker won't save movie

[Guest]

My movie maker won't save a new movie and reports that either the source file
is missing or that I have no room on my hard drive. Both are false
indications. I dind't move, delete or otherwise molest the original file
and my hard drive has 60gb available. I tried movie maker on another
computer in my home with the same files and it worked. Does anyone know how
to repair or reinstall the program? I see its imbedded in SP2 and not a
stand alone program.

Maybe the following article will offer some ideas:

John, Thanks for the link. I read the whole thing and in the end, the
problem that I was having: ("Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the
specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie
are still available, that the saving location is still available, and that
there is enough free disk space available, and then try again.") was solved
by a seemingly unrelated yet recently reported remedy. YUP! I reinstalled
Windows Media Player 10 and Movie Maker runs like a champ again.

I don't get it at all but hey, the thing works now. Thanks a bunch for the
link as this was where I got the direction to try something simple first.

Cheers.
