Movie Maker Hangs

I have a new system with 2gb of memory, Windows MCE 2005 with SP2. Also, what
I believe to be the latest version of MovieMaker.
My project consists of about 50 photos. Too many times when I try to drag
the timeline cursor, Movie Maker will just hang, typically with an East/West
cursor. My only recourse is to kill the task. I think it seems to happen
mostly if I try to drag the time-line too quickly, but I'm not sure.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a later version of Movie Maker?
My 'About' dialog says I have version 2.1.4026.0

Thanks

You have the latest version James,

See the Problem Solving > Crashes and Hangs page of my site... probably have
to take a codec or two out of the picture.

I have also experience that, hanging MM2 when you importing too many picture.
But my suggestion to you is do the tip that i post i'm sure that you need
that tip to avoid hanging MM2... My system is only a PIII 1.0GHZ and 256MB
RAM... And Have The Same MM2 Version...
