This isn't a "hardcore" computer question but it's something that is really frustrating me. I've been trying to get Windows Movie Maker 2.1 but Windows doesn't offer a direct link; it says the new Movie Maker is in the updates. I have all the updates installed but still only Movie Maker 1. So I went to Windows website and followed a troubleshooting thing for people who had service pack 2 but WMM wouldn't upgrade. I followed the directions exactly and now not only do I not have WMM2.1 but now WMM1 won't work. Everytime I open it, I get an error report thingy: EventType : BEX P1 : moviemk.exe P2 : 2.0.3312.0 P3 : 3e038613 P4 : comctl32.dll P5 : 6.0.2900.2180 P6 : 4110968c P7 : 0006c82c P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000 C:\DOCUME~1\ktm\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER4a75.dir00\moviemk.exe.mdmp C:\DOCUME~1\Ktm\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER4a75.dir00\appcompat.txt I tried to talk to live support on Windows' website but apparently my copy of Windows doesn't get support anymore. Is there anyway to a) get regular Windows Movie Maker 1 to work again and possibly b) install Windows Movie Maker 2.1?! Thanks.

Maybe there's something in the way WMM communicates with MS whenever you use it. Read this privacy statement. i_XpUser

Windows Movie Maker 1 used to work just fine for me. I'm not sure what MS taking information from me would have to do with it. It just stopped working after I tried to force the update since it wouldn't update on its own. Grasshopper, thanks, that worked except I don't have my Windows CD so I can't finish the installation. :/ Microsoft can be so annoying.
