1. I created a movie with Movie Maker 2 on my home computer. I copy the
parent and child folders which contain my pictures and WMVs used in the movie
to my laptop. When I launch MM2 on my laptop I want the collections to
display exactly how I organized them on my home computer. Is this possible?

2. Some of the pictures have a large red X in the timeline. When I browse
for the file on my laptop I receive a message stating something like, the
file does not match closely enough, please import another file...". These
are the exact pictures I copied from my home computer. What's up with this?

Thanks in advance.

Before you browse for the mssing file, remove the clip from the timeline
and the file from the collection then reimport the clip and place it back
into the time line.

If your project and source files on your home computer are saved in
c:\MyFiles\x\y\z then on the laptop they also have to located exactly
in that path.

What I mentioned here worked for me; however, others might have a
different (better?) solution.

Good luck!
