========================================
Movie Maker has compatibility issues with MP3
files.

Try converting the MP3 files to the WMA format
before importing.

The following freeware can do the conversion:

(FWIW...it's always a good idea to create a System
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Format Factory
http://www.pcfreetime.com/
(FWIW...when installing...you may want to uncheck
all the boxes on the final screen)

After downloading and installing Format Factory...
open the program and choose an Output Folder...
(this is where you will find your files after they are
converted)

Drag/drop your MP3s onto the main screen...

Select 'All to WMA' / OK...

Click...Start...on the toolbar...

That should do it...
