==========================
OK...you are on the screen that
says, "Add Background Music".

What happens when you click the
"Select Music" button?

Do you have music files in the correct
format? Windows Media Audio (WMA),
MP3, or WAV format?

Or...click the "Create Music" button...
Make your choices...click...OK /
Preview...

Do you receive errors? What are they?

Also, you may find some useful info at
the following site:

Movie Maker 2 -
www.papajohn.org
Wait for the left pane to fully load and
select...Photo Story 3 / Background Music.

Thank You John. I have done all that you said to try, and at the preview it
just stops and will not play in the preview window, I then save it to play on
my computer and there is no sound ( I tried MP3 and Wavemusic)
I will visit the site you suggested The only Error mesage I have had is from
Windows Media player "Saying the plugins do not suite what I am trying to
play" Dave S

Sorry, I don't have the answer.

Try the site I suggested.

You might want to see if the Windows Media 9 Codec package from Microsoft
will help restore any lost or corrup codecs. Get the first pack from this
page:

Also, the error message makes it sound like a plugin might be having
problems. Try disabling any audio-related plugins. Go to
Tools-Plugins-Options in Windows Media Player and look in the Audio DSP
category, and disable any that you see there.
