=====================================
I don't recall if it was ever verified...but at one it
was reported that having a program called Muvee
autoProducer installed might cause Movie Maker
to freeze when launching.
I'm thinking you need to get your system fully
updated. Unless you install the latest service
packs you can't even get security updates from
Windows Update.
Windows XP SP2 will install Movie Maker 2.1.
And of course you should also consider WinXP SP3...
If you prefer to reside in the past...maybe the
following links would offer something:
