Question asked on May 7, 2016

I installed MM on my Windows 10 Computer. When I tried to open the project (that I made on Windows XP) from my USB stick, the message popped up saying:

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

I have all pictures, sounds and videos I used in the movie in the folder where i keep the movie project itself. Can someone tell me what am I possibly doing wrong or how I can convert the movie project because I really don't want to start all over again.
