Help With Windows Movie Maker 6 for Vista Please!

Hello,
I am currently working on my first video project using Movie Maker 6.
After spending hours this week putting together images and sound effects, I
opened the project this morning in horror and saw that ALL of the wav and wma
sound files now have a "RED X" icon instead of a "HORN" or note "ICON" and
none of my sound file will play when I play the movie. I'm guessing the sound
files have become disassociated from Windows Media Player. How do I correct
this and how do I prevent it from happening in the future?

==================================
The Movie Maker .mswmm project file does not
include the source files...it just records the path to
the original locations.

If the source files are moved, deleted or otherwise
unavailable...you will see the Red Xs.

If the source files are still available...try right clicking
the Red Xs and browse to the source files to see if
you can re-establish the path.
