titles on wrong pictures

I added transitions after I added titles which I now know doesn't work. I
saw an earlier post that said you could select the first title in the
timeline and then hold the shift key and select the last title which would
select them all and you could drag them over. I tried this and it didn't
work. It did not select all of them. Could anyone advise? Is there a way
to get the titles back on the correct picture without having to redo them all?
 
Why yes there is. The procedure you have is correct but it has to be executed just right. Give this a try.

Click on "Title Overlay", press <Ctrl> & the "A" key at the same time, this should select all the title overlays.
Now drag the title overlays left/right to the correct position.
IMPORTANT TIP: When releasing the title overlays at the new position the mouse pointer must be over the title overlays track.

One more thing. If you have a title overlay at the beginning of the timeline you'll have to unselect that one title. Otherwise you won't be able to move the title overlays to the left. Likewise if you have one at the end of the timeline.

To unselect an individual title overlay hold the <Ctrl> key and click the title overlay.

Okay, I did this and nothing was selected. It just doesn't work. I hate
Movie Maker! The first time I tried what you said it froze on me. Both
times I tried it didn't work. I have tried everything posted for the
freezing. I just want to get this one movie done with digital still pictures
and it seems impossible. Sorry, I am just venting but I am extremely
frustrated. I guess I will just redo all of the titles which will take
forever because it will freeze and stop responding every two seconds. Any
ideas. Thanks.
 
Can you move each title individually? If so would be faster than completely
redoing them.

How many stills/transitions? If a considerable amount then split into
smaller projects then combine the movies in a new project.
