movie project on jump drive

I created a movie maker project on a machine at work. From the beginning I
saved the .mswmm file to my jump drive. When I tried to run the .mswmm file
on my home computer it would not run. I believe I have to have the
collection I used, so I copied all the original pictures and sound into a
collections folder on the jump drive. I tried to then open it on my machine
at home -- it can see all the pictures and sounds, but it sill is not seeing
the "finished" file as an actual item to run.

How can I get this project from the original machine (which is where the
original collection is, I believe) and the .mswmm file on the jump drive
(which is always where that file was) to my home machine to continue editing
it?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

==================================
Yes...you need the .mswmm project file
and copies of all the source files.

Hopefully...both work and home computers
are running the same version of Windows.
(Vista project files do not work on XP)

Anyway.....

If you double left click the .mswmm file...it
should launch Movie Maker.

If you see Red Xs in the collections pane...
right click them and navigate to the folder
that contains source files in to re-establish
the path.
