Question asked on Oct 13, 2015

I was making a video earlier today and saved it as a wlmp file on my laptop. I checked the file before closing it in the morning and it was playing without any problem.

When I tried to re-open the same file now (on the same laptop), it is not opening. I am getting the following error message:


"Sorry, Movie Maker can't open this project file. The file might not be compatible with Windows Live Movie Maker or be corrupted. Please select a different project file."

How can I open this project in Windows Live Movie Maker?

Can Microsoft please help urgently as I have been working on this file for the last 1 week and had to deliver it by tomorrow?

I have uploaded the file to the SkyDrive?
