==============================
Movie Maker .mswmm project files do
not include the source files. If the source
files are moved or deleted from their
original locations the links will be lost
and the Red Xs appear.

Try right clicking the Red Xs and see if
you can Browse to the original files and
re-establish the link.

Hello.... the "x's" indicate that there is no picture or video associated
with your movie. Although you can see the videos or photos in your movie
timeline.... these are only markers that point to the actual videos or photos
in your files. You can probably even see them in the files where you
imported to..... again, don't be deceived... these look like the pics but are
only markers.

What has happened.... you have probably moved the ORIGINAL pictures.... or
deleted the file where the originals were downloaded. Always be careful not
to move original picture files... edit them, etc. if you are actively working
