I am currently having troubles contuing to edit my movie maker project on my
xp machine at work after I have worked and edited them on my Vista machine at
home. I have version 6.0 at home on a Vista O.S. and a 5.1 on the XP machine
at work. I can open the project i worked on in XP with the vista version but
not visa versa. Very similar to how office 2007 works.
I use a client to be able to open the 2007 .docx files on my xp 2003 machine
or just save my files as 97-03 .doc's
There is not an option in vista 6.0 movie maker to save it as an older
version.
How can I work on my project between the two platforms/versions?

Maybe you can setup a remote session and run your home Vista system from
your work computer.... as you see there's no option to go from a Vista
project file to an MM2.1 one.

Another option is to install v2.6 on your Vista system and use it instead of
MM6. See my website's Setup Movie Maker > Vista MM2.6 page.
