My son started a project using Windows Movie Maker on a computer that has
Vista on it and is needing to finish it up on a computer that has XP on it.
When he tries, he gets the message that he is doing it using a version that
is not compatible. Is there anything he can do to make it compatible. Also,
if this is possible, can he then play it on a computer with XP. Please help
as soon as possible. His project is due tomorrow.

Thanks!

==========================================
The Vista .mswmm project files are not compatible
with Movie Maker 2.1 on WinXP.

If you Publish the video on the Vista machine...you
should be able to view it in Windows Media Player
on the WinXP machine.

Windows Vista -
Publish a movie in
Windows Movie Maker
