Can't save movie files

I keep getting the following message:

"Windows Movie Maker cannot save movie to 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."

All of the above are OK, the files are there, the location is OK and 70GB
should be enough space for a 7MB file.

Sometimes when I first start it lets me do one, but not if I change
something and try to re-save (even in a different dir with a different name).
Sometimes even newly created files don't save. It's really frustrating cos
I'm making pretty simple files - one 2min vid, title, credit and a couple of
transitions in between so it's nothing too stressful for a brand new dell
with XP.

I've got other vid software but having made vids for my website before, i
want to keep using Movie Maker as all my previous vids have been made by it
and I'm trying to have some consistency.

All help will be extremely gratefully received!!!!
