Red X "Browse for missing file" problem
in [Movie Maker]
|
From: TheGame on 10 Nov 2008 20:58 I have files that have a big red X through them. I already know how to fix that and I've done it numerous times in the past, but a new problem has shown up when I find the "missing" file: The file you selected doesn't match the original file closely enough to be used as a replacement. I don't understand this because the file IS the original file that was moved from one computer to another by means of a flash drive. How can I fix this?

How > can I fix this? ======================================= I found the following message with a Google search... maybe it will help: ===== "I found a quick unofficial fix: All you have to is move the file back to the original location to edit, etc. You can find this by right clicking on the Red X clip, going to properties, look down under Source File, then Location. This will give you the path to where you need to put the file. It is annoying, but at least all your work is not lost. Hope this helps, Acer" ===== -- John Inzer MS-MVP Digital Media Experience Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk
