mswmm was created by a version of windows movie maker that is not

[Steve]

I try to open a mswmm file and get an error message like,
"....mswmm was created by a version of windows movie maker that is not
supporteded ..."

So, in my wisdom I uninstall my Movie Maker 2.6 and re-install Microsoft's
(supposedly) latest version which is MM 2.2. I get same error message.

I re-try MM 2.6 on several of my old files, and get the same message.

What is happening? How can I edit these files?

Thanks,

Steve

==========================================
Sounds like you may have some corrupted .mswmm files.

If you create a new .project and save the .mswmm project
file...can you reopen it in the copy of Movie Maker that just
created it?

FWIW...when a project is complete...do you render it to the
..wmv or .dv-avi movie format? If_yes_at that point the .mswmm
project would no longer be useful unless you planned to
re-edit the project.
