A MSWMM is a Windows Movie Maker project file. Unfortunately, it does not contain any video hence the small size (87.0 kBs).

It is like a recipe to create a movie and needs the ingredients (video files, etc.) to accomplish the task.

When was it created? Do you still have the computer that it was created on?

hiya thank you for your reply. it was created 12 years ago! on my old E-machine! but i put a copy of it on a disc! im running windows 7 but my boyfriend has an XP machine, i put the disc in there and nothing! im gutted as this video means a lot to me. i should have saved it as a different file maybe? can you think of any other suggestions? thanks so much for your response though, i appreciate that! if i could open this file and see my beautiful mum once again id be the happiest person alive! but ive a feeling it wont happen ....

Unfortunately, you need the other files that were used when the Movie Maker project file was created to end up with the movie itself. I wish I was the bearer of better news.

Do you still have the E-machine or its hard drive?

If you open the .MSWMM file with Windows Movie Maker, you can find where the original video files were stored on the E-machine.
