Windows movie Maker can’t save thee movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the saving location is still available, and that there is enough free disk space available, and then try again.

but I have 61 GB free space and all the source files are in their actual positions

Now what can I do ????

That is a heck of a lot of photos, far too many for WMM to process all in one go. What I suggest you do is break down the project into segments of around 100 – 150 images at at a time. Create each one separately and save to the hard drive. When finished open WMM again and, as a separate project, import all your previously saved movies back in, add them to the timeline and create a new single movie from all the parts.

Your issues with the preview player are most likely being caused by the excessive number of images overloading WMM. The ‘Save’ location for your finished project is irrelevant, and anyway you can change that yourself by simply choosing a destination folder from the available drop down menu.

I have used your procedure to create a slideshow with Windows Movie Maker and it was very simple to use. I want to thank you fir this. BUT I still have a problem: when I click on PLAY to have a first look at it before burning a DVD, the audio(music) is there but none of the picture appears on the right hand screen…… But when I simply click on a picture in the collection panel, it does appear.in the right hand screen. A) My slide show was saved in ”My pictures” instead of ”My videos” and B) I have 1172 pictures in my slideshow. (yes 1172 pictures no typing error)
Please help, this is a Christmass gift that I have been working on for over a month

Thanks
