After SP2, still have MM 2.0

I have windows xp sp 2 with all latest updates, but my Movie Maker is version
2.0.3312.0. I did a search for moviemk.exe which i believe is 2.1, but it is
not on my hard drive.

I think this happened because I did not realize 2.1 was already on my
computer, and download 2.0, so maybe it overwrote 2.1? not sure...

So, how do I get MM 2.1? Can I download it seperately? If not, should I
download SP2 and reinstall it again to get mm 2.1 (sounds risky and a lot of
work).

Please advise.

And you can download SP2 from the
following site if you would like to reinstall it.

Download Windows XP SP2
http://tinyurl.com/6ubys

Generally, users install from the net but this
site allows you to download the complete
file to your hard drive before installing.

It's good for a network administrator because
you can burn it on a CD and install it on as
many computers as you need to.

And it's good for a single machine because
if you ever need to install it again...you'll have
it available without waiting for a download.

I have the same problem as Mr. Bob Day. My Movie Maker went bye-bye, see-ya;
after installing Windows XP SP2. I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition
2005 which is a fancy way of saying Windows XP Pro with XP Plus installed. I
tried to follow the first link you gave, but I could not connect to the site.

IE Security not allowing me to connect). The second link worked for me.
Please let me/us know if there is an update or another way to access >
http://tinyurl.com/65pfo. I want to try that first before I attempt to
re-install SP2. Because if I have to go that far, I may as well re-install XP
from scratch.

Thank you for your time and efforts.

Go to...Start / Run...type..."moviemk.exe"...
press...Enter. If Movie Maker is installed
it should launch.

Maybe the following articles will offer
