I cannot open a recently saved project. The program freezes after the
progress bar reaches the end in the Checking Project Files box. I'm running
wmm v. 2.1.4026.0 on Windows XP. Any ideas?

of the same issue at the following link:

I am considering reinstalling Moviemaker. Do I need to reinstall Media
Center to do this?

==============================================
If you can open Movie Maker and work on a new project...
chances are that your previous .mswmm project file is
corrupted.

See the following article for info on reinstalling Movie Maker.

Good luck...

Thanks again for your help. I had already downloaded SP3 and I was able to
create a new project, so unfortunately the file was corrupted. From now on,
I think I'll save the project as a new name until I'm finished so that I will
always have an earlier version to go back to if this happens again.
