Lol the alternative to it is to delete the clip you've used in movie maker and reimport it from it's current location. I also believe there is an option to re-assign the location.

Just checked and yes there is. Right click on the file in the imported media and click on browse for missing file and locate it.

Help again!
now  I've got all my picture files, music etc, but the project simply freezes as soon as I go back in to do more work on the edit. What's happening?? Is it to do with the amount of data? Is it a saving issue? If I don't get this movie done by my daughter's 21st birthday party, my life is over!
I am so-o-o-o frustrated!

I merged the thread "windows movie maker - another problem" with this one.  There was no need to start another thread when it was just as easy to post in the original one.  

heh heh heh sorry it's just funny hearing that cause I've had it done to me a million times over. Usually its the size but also the fact the computer needs to render the video and usually does this through the RAM. So basically you'll need to shorten the video, or at least make half the video, then make the other half, and then make a video with these two halves in there. Should make things easier.

Well... I guess I'm bumping a thread needlessly since I could just as easily keep the thought to myself.

I noticed "Windows Thread" on the front page, and thought "There's a Windows thread??? Wonder why."  Then I clicked in to the first page and saw that I'd actually at some previous date written of bunch of stuff here.  I then remembered the Mac vs. Windows war that 2 members had going on a while back, some argument I had about Windows being crap, from the self righteous perspective of wanting to see the world follow the ideology of the GNU project, and then it hit me.  I thought "It looks too long to bother reading whatever it is that I wrote, but whatever it was, I'm pretty sure it'd be embarrassing now."

The new version of windows was to be called longhorn but now I believe they are going to call it Vista.

Oh boy, just been reading this old thread...............What a disappointment Vista was, I wonder how many would have bought it then if they only knew what they know now   lol.
IMHO XP is far better than anything after........................

My son LOVES Windows 7 ! He said it was like when '98 was superceded by XP!   He always told me 'don't get Vista' smart boy my son

While it's correct Windows Vista was a dog and Seven is riding high, it would not be without Vista's framework (it's version 6.1 afterall). Vista had a bad project plan, features were removed in order to actually ship a product, and what was left was not polished at all, Windows Seven is the complete opposite.

A Microsoft project manager posted this week that the next version of Windows "will be completely different." I hope we see seamless integration between Xbox/home entertainment and Zune/Windows mobile and a much slicker interface (AERO has never done it for me).

I have Vista on my desktop computer...but now thinking of getting laptop.
ASUS is looking good deal at moment..and has WINDOW 7 loaded...so just checking out what is being said!!!!!

Unless you're adverse to user friendliness (like Shelden from Big Bang Theory) and stability go with Seven, if anyone is still selling with Vista preloaded you'll get a free upgrade to seven by filling out some forms but you'll most likely wait a few weeks to receive it.

Running Windows XP on Windows 7 Home Premium
Windows 7 Home Premium

One of the best new features in Windows 7 is called XP Mode. But you can only use it on Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate. Too bad. Most users will have Windows 7 Home Premium. But  you can create a virtual Windows XP mode on your Windows 7 Home Premium computer. And another good thing, you can even run Windows XP on Windows 7 if your processor doesn't support virtualization - and many lower-end computers do not.

What you'll need:

1. Free copy of VMware Player (requires free registration)
2. A Windows XP Disk (If you use an XP upgrade disk you'll also need a Windows 2000 or Windows 98 CD too)
3. About 90 minutes of time
4. A little patience

Thanks AQ and LB  

feel happier about my purchace next week now.

Got my laptop....still have to find my way through the programmes ...but looking good so far.

Also purchased a 'track ball' and am getting good at using it      

I like it when someone really lightly slaps them when I'm at my greatest enthusiasm.
