Hello,
If you run Windows Explorer and go to this location... C:\Program Files\Movie Maker you should find moviemk.exe Right click it and select copy. Then close down Windows Explorer so that you can see the desktop...Right click anywhere on the desktop and select Paste...when asked take the option to create a shortcut...

Hello,
Something has gone wrong big time then...that directory and file is always there with an install of XP. It has therefore been deleted. To put matters right you can either install Service Pack 2 or re-install XP (a bit dramatic and not really needed at this time) -- Best Wishes.....John Kelly www.the-kellys.org www.the-kellys.co.uk Check out free video hosting at www.the-kellys.org ---- \|||/ (oo) ----------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------- All material gained from other sources is duly acknowledged.

Hello again,
Just had a thought...in windows explorer click on TOOLS > FOLDER OPTIONS > VIEW and make sure that "Hide Extensions for known file types" is NOT checked....some idiot at microsoft put that one in....why in gods name they think you would not be interested in the file name extension when using a file viewer is quite beyond me.....if as a result your Movie Maker exe shows up then continue with my first suggestion -- Best Wishes.....John Kelly www.the-kellys.org www.the-kellys.co.uk Check out free video hosting at www.the-kellys.org ---- \|||/ (oo) ----------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------- All material gained from other sources is duly acknowledged.

I have only had the computer for 5 months, and it came straight from Dell
with XP already on the system. I have also installed SP2, but still no MM2?????

Hello,
Yes you have said that before. Have you tried the advice about hiding file name extensions...Yes or No. -- Best Wishes.....John Kelly www.the-kellys.org www.the-kellys.co.uk All material gained from other sources is duly acknowledged.

Hello,
It would seem then that if you have enabled the ability to see ALL file extensions and the EXE is still not visible, BUT, you can see the project files where the EXE should be (and the project files should not be there by the way) that you have a critical error....you could try getting a mate to give you a copy of the EXE and putting it into its correct location and if that does not work I would re-install XP and SP2. For the future, its not a good idea to delete files in an add-hoc manner and unless you know why and what you are doing it is not a good idea changing the default location for where files are changed. It seems fairly clear that this is what you have done and followed it up by deleting the wrong files -- Best Wishes.....John Kelly www.the-kellys.org www.the-kellys.co.uk Check out free video hosting at www.the-kellys.org ---- \|||/ (oo) ----------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------- All material gained from other sources is duly acknowledged.
