=============================
You're welcome.

Saving several versions of your project
file is a good idea.

Thanks for the update.

Apparently not enough. This weekend I put in about 3 hours of work on a home
movie project and saved it as a different version every time. Went to open
it today and not a single version from that day would open. Very
frustrating. No program should be this difficult to use.

Sorry...that's not a common issue and I
have no idea what could be the cause.

Just wondering...if you go to the folder the
..mswmm files are saved in (probably My
Videos) and double left click one...what
(if anything) happens?

John, I figured it out. There was a corrupt file in my movie. It was a
still that was not a jpeg. I know that wmm is pretty particular about the
types of files that it will recognize and this was certainly the case. Once
I deleted the pic from its folder I was able to open my project. It seems to
be working just fine now. Hopefully this will not happen to others. Thanks
for all of your insight.
