=================================
You may have some incompatibility issues
with your source files. Have a look at the
following article:
File type compatibility with Movie Maker

Also...it sounds like you are working with
your .mswmm project file instead of saving
the project in a movie format.
To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Tick...'Best Quality For My Computer'
Next/
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
Also, you may find it useful to use
a custom profile:
Movie Maker 2 - Saving
Movies - Custom WMV Profiles

Creating Custom Profiles
for Windows Movie Maker 2

To save as an .avi movie file...
(and several other options)
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
