How long should "save movie file" take?

I'm a newbie to Windows Movie Maker, but not to computers. I've tried to
make some simple short movies, and when I get to "Finish Movie", everything
just hangs. I click "save to my computer", click "next" at each step
through the process, and when I get to the "saving movie" screen, nothing
else happens, except that the "minutes remaining" just keeps counting
upward. I have a 6 minute movie, and I've waited several hours for it to
save, and the "minutes remaining" just continues to count upward, while the
percent saved indicator stays at 0%. I've redone everything several times
through from scratch, including re-making the movie, with the same results.
As a test, I tried to save a :03 seconds section of the movie as it's own
separate movie, with the same results. Last time I checked, the time
remaining was up to several hundred minutes for this :03 second movie, with
no progress being made. This can't possibly be right, but I can't figure
out what's wrong. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Scott
