Solved: With really short "published" videos I got a black screen.  When trying to publish longer videos I got, "Windows Movie Maker cannot publish the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the publishing location is still available, that there is enough free disk space available, and then try again."  

The files were all there.  The video location was there (and I used Administrator permissions), the HDD had 100+ GB of free space.  I also had lots of RAM available.  

MS online support was no help.  They had lame answers to this problem, none of them worked for me.  Other web sites just seemed to parrot MS's answers.

By trial and error I found the solution to both the black screens and the error message problems.

20161102: UPDATE - I bought the basic version of VideoPad video editor.  I found it works as well as MS MM and has many more features.  Will have to make a video on it.
