I prepared a slideshow with jpg digital pictures it is 16 minutes long with
music & transitions between each picture at about 14 minutes the picture
images freeze but the music carries on to the end
Can you help please?

Yes, mine does this too. When it's done, it won't be nearly as long as 16
minutes, mine will be just over 4, and it freezes consistently on or just
before 27 seconds. The video stops, but the music goes on, and then later it
stops, at the exact same time in the song.
Oh, I should also point out that I'm not doing a slideshow, I'm using
various clips and making a video.
Does anyone know what's happening and how to fix it???
 
We've seen other reports of this behaviour with the pictures/video freezing
and the audio continuing especially on timelines with a lot of transitions.

We made a fix in Windows Movie Maker 2.1 within Windows XP SP2 so this
problem hopefully shouldn't occur. If you don't want to install SP2 yet
you can also try the following workaround.

Sometimes just trying to save your movie again will work, as it doesn't
always repro 100% of the time. If in your case it is consistenly failing
then the other suggestion I have is to save your movie as a DV-AVI file
first. To do this, when you're on the Movie Settings page choose "Other
Settings" and select DV-AVI from the list (if Other Settings isn't visible
then click "Show more choices...").

Play back the resultant DV-AVI file to make sure that it's OK. If you want
to save it as a WMV file to save disk space you can then import the DV-AVI
file back into MovieMaker, drag it down to the timeline then publish it
again as a WMV file with your choice of profile.
Hope this helps
Cheers
