Windows Movie Maker - Saved File disappeared

[Guest]

I was working on a movie maker project for several hours last night, and
saved the file a number of times. I eventually finished, and saved the file,
and then closed Windows Movie Maker.

Today, when I opened Movie Maker, the file was gone. I searched the
computer with the file name, but couldn't find anything. I'm using Vista and
the newest version of Movie Maker. There are several hours of work on this
video. I would really like to have them back.

====================================
Try a search for .mswmm (that's the file extension
for a MM project file) and see if you find anything.

Thanks for the attempt, but I've already given that a try. I've also tried
searching for ALL files modified on that date, with no movie maker files at
all. But please, any other suggestions - I would love them. I really don't
want to go do another four hours on this stupid video.

Thanks again.
