MovieMaker just quits

[Trevor]

When I add clips to the story board, Windows Movie Maker Version2 (XP SP2)
just exits.

 

[Trevor]

When I go to the update site to upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1 (I can't find any
other way of downloading it - is there on?) it says there are no updates for
me.

check your local computer stores and ask about a free SP-2 upgrade disc.

I have SP 2 installed

On your website you say it's unusual to have more than 6 .ax files, I have
counted individually 318 .ax files on my PC. I can't manually change every
one. Where do I go from here?

 

[Trevor]

divxaf.ax isn't one of them!

SP2 includes Movie Maker 2.1 .... see the Setup > MM2.1 page of my site for
the file list

The files there are all 2.1.4026.0 yet when I launch MM2 in the about MM
section it says Version 2.0.3312.0.

Which is correct?

Have reinstalled SP2. Now showing as MM 2.1.4026.0 in about Movie Maker.
Also changed around 8 .ax files on the list out of the first 12 I looked at
and the problem has gone away. (I have Cyberlink stuff)

Many thanks.
