Trouble cleanly copying project from one machine to another

[hweinstein]

Using DVD MovieFactory 4 with latest patches.

Please help me. I'm having no problems using DVD movie factory on a single machine, but am having trouble when copying a working project from one machine to another.

I copy the project file from the data directory and the .ufo file from the favorites directory. I can then open the project on the new machine, and after relinking with source files in a different directory, I'm able to view most of my project with the following two issues:

1. Any clips which were made by joining two other clips show up in the setup menu as empty (just black). Some of these show up in the add/edit media screen, and others only show black as well. Most of the time I can go to the add/edit media screen and do a "separate video" followed by a "join video" and end up able to see the clip. Sometimes, the screen just flashes for a while and doesn't let me separate the video. Either way, why doesn't it just transfer cleanly without my having to do any cleanup?

2. In the setup menu, the layout showing is not the layout I picked in the original project. What do I have to do to make the layout be the same one as in the file I copied?
