The slideshow made by the Windows Movie Maker is clear enough in a viewing screen, but it is not clear after I enlarge it to the full screen. How to set the Windows Movie Maker for optimizing the full screen viewing?

If you want a video that looks perfectly sharp when played back full screen you need to start with an image that is full screen -- 1280x800 in your case. If 1280x800 is impractical or unavailable you should use the largest source size you can.
WMM exists only so Microsoft can say Windows includes a video editing application. It doesn't really do anything useful. A lot like Windows' Paint program. At least use Windows Media Encoder which free but much more flexible.
Are your source images pictures from a digital camera? Frames captured from a video? Screen caps of text? Computer generated graphs and charts? -
Go to Papa John's website and download the extra profiles for WMM. They will improve the quality over the built-in profiles, and add some extra large profiles for bigger screens. Start here : http://www.papajohn.org/ and look under Save Movie -> Custom WMV Profiles.
I know the site is a mess to look at, but if you are going to use WMM it is one of the better ones to work your way through.Read my blog here.

I want to make a DVD photos slideshow (from still digital camera). I have tested a couple of video editing software. I feel the Windows Movie Maker is pretty easy and user friendly although it may lack some features. But, for the beginners, it is just the right tool for learning edit and making the first photos slideshow. I tested different settings. The “high quality video (NTSC)” has better viewing quality in the full screen but occupies less space. The “DV-AVI (NTSC)” viewing quality is worse than the “high quality video (NTSC).” I think I should select the “high quality video (NTSC)” for the computer viewing and emailing. Is it correct? I also wonder whether I can select the “high quality video (NTSC)” and then burn it into a DVD disc (by using the third party burning software) or I have to select the “DV-AVI (NTSC)" to burn the DVD? Does anyone know it?

I ran a little test, indeed High Quality Video NTSC WMV was sharper than DV-AVI (both were 720x480, 29.97 fps) when I started with some ~2000x1500 JPG images. Microsoft must do this intentionally because there is no reason for it.
You may find it much easier to deal with DV AVI than WMV when it comes to converting to MPEG2 for DVD.
You'd be much better off using something other than WMM.
