Hope someone can help me...I only have one week to finish this video for my
son's graduation and I've got a problem I can't figure out. I will try to
explain it the best I can...and I pray that someone can help me...PLEASE
Everything was working fine...music, transitions, video clips....but for
some reason, and it may have been when I was adding transitions, or maybe
adding a picture, the show won't play....the pictures are all there on the
storyboard, and the music and everything...even the time of the video shows
under the small display screen, but it won't play...and when I click on a
picture, it dosen't come up...
I hope this can be fixed....i have put in countless hours and won't have the
time to recreate....but I will do what I have to do even if it means no
sleep...
Please help me :(

Sorry, not sure I can help, but what application are you using to create
this video presentation in?
You may find that you can get more help if you post in a NewsGroup dedicated
to that specific application...
Hope you manage to get it sorted out in time!

It is difficult to help if you give no real indication of what's wrong
other than saying it doesn't play or saying it was working.
1. Did you make multiple copies of your project so you can fall back
to a earlier version? This is the only way to do this kind of
project so you avoid what you are now running it to. You should
have been saving version A, B, C, etc., so you never lose
more that a small portion.
My guess, and it is only a guess is either the project file (what you
save to) somehow got corrupted, or one or more of the files in your
project are corrupt or Movie Maker is just choking on them for any
number of reasons.
2. Have you lost the ability to click on any image or portion of a
video?
If not, rewind, which should take you back to the very beginning of
your project. Now click on the first image or portion of the video.
3. Does doing so cause that image to appear in the preview window?
If yes, then proceed to the next until you hit the one you can't bring
up in the preview window. Now right click on this "problem" file on
either the storyboard or timeline to remove it and then see if the
project plays again. If so IMMEDIATELY stop and save your project
under a new name.

What file types have you used,?
It's possible that one of more of them isn't working properly in the
project.
Although MM6 in vista is supposed to work with many more file types, some
cans till cause problems, so it is always best to stick to those that should
work ok, this means no MP3 music and jpegs can be a pain sometimes.
MM is really video editing software and if this is a whole slideshow then
recreating in Photostory 3 maybe a quicker option, as this is for making
slideshows.

saved to the harddisk. Is this is same for you?
