I keep having porblems with songs loading. i click on the file where a song is saved and it wont open or if it does i have to use the directory to find everything and then the song is never in the condition that it ws when it was saved. and ive save some of them on flask drives and i have the same problems.

This is possible due to the project and resources not being in the same locations they were when the project was saved or are on removeable media that is not present when you reload the project.
Your project files and resources should be kept on the same device - preferably the hard drive in the computer.
Working with external USB flash drives is not a good way of doing this.

Copy all the required files that are on the Flash drive(s) to a new folder on your computer, including the project file if it is also on a Flash drive.
Once this is done, remove the Flash drives from the computer. Start Music Maker and then open the project in the folder you created above.
When the Folders wizard opens select the folder above and OK, keep doing this until the wizard no longer pops up.
Save the project and close Music Maker.
Restart Music Maker and open the last project - it should now load correctly.
If you no longer have the audio files on the Flash drives and you have no backup copies then yu are going to have to recreate everything from scratch.
Note: using Flash drives as backup devices for important files is not recommended - they are not reliable enough and failure is usually total, with little chance of recovery unlike using external hard disc drives.
SSD drives are more reliable than Flash drives however a failure is often total..
