Windows Movie Maker Version 6 - Cannont replay saved slideshow

[Scott]

Hi, I just spent hours last nite on a slideshow project with lots of
pictures, transitions & effects, & 3 audio clips (8 minutes worth). When I
re-opened the project (which was saved as MSWMM format), I was unable to
replay the project or view it on the preview window. Can someone please
kindly help me out? Thanks.

wow! i am suffering from same problem.
I have version 6.0.6000.16386 with my windows vista. I’m having trouble
with Windows Movie Maker reading and working with MPEG files. If I import an
MPEG file for editing, I can see it fine. It shows in the preview pane on the
right too. However, if I drag more than one clip to the storyboard/timeline
at the bottom and then press PLAY, nothing happens. The button changes
indicating it should be playing but nothing is happening.

WMM does not handle many MPEG files well. I convert mine to a .wmv file
using Windows Medica Encoder prior to importing into WMM. There are other
conversion programs that work also. Additional good advice at
