Problem with photos in the collection/storyboard

Hi, I've spent many hours creating a clip for a function that's going
to be held on 01 Sept 07. I started the project on my laptop, but had
problems with it (the laptop), so saved my project to a flash drive
and copied to to my desktop computer. I have added all my photos to
the collection in MM2 on the desktop computer, but when I open my
project, my clip has red 'X's through all the photos in the
storyboard. All the photos have exactly the same name, but the
project storyboard can't seem to 'see' them. Is there any easy way
(is 'easy' possible with anything to do with complex projects :-)??)
to get my project to 'see' the photos in the collection on the desktop
computer? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm running out of
time and don't really want to have to start putting in all the photos
again. Also, is there any way to automatically move the titles that I
have on photos when I insert a photo into the middle of the clip? At
present if I insert a photo I have to move all the titles from that
point on. It's a pain, so if there is a better way, I'd love to hear
it. Thanks.
 
double-click on any of the clips with the big red X and point Movie Maker to
the location of the file on the other computer. Fix one link and it'll take
care of the rest.

you can't auto move the titles, but you can select the batch of them that
needs moving and move/nudge them as a batch. Use standard Windows selection
steps.... click on the first overlay, and as you hold the shift key down,
click on the last one in the group. Then you can move them all together.
