Need help downloading MM updates

[Guest]

I am trying to download the updates for WMM called
Windows XP Creativity Fun Pack For Windows Movie Maker 2.
The problem is the file is 24meg and my home pc has only a dial up
connection which translates to a blazing 4kb per second download speed. I
realize there are smaller files but they are still too big. My pc at work
uses a T1 line but because of Microsoft's new validation process it doesn't
recognize my work pc as acceptable. Doeas anybody have any suggestions about
other ways to get this file?

The validation policy is not very strict. So MS downloads can still be
found on other websites perhaps unofficially... Thats why perhaps that
in some cases the validation is also built in the installers...

Nevertheless Try doing a google for "creativity_mmfull.exe" and see if
you feel lucky ;-)

Good idea! I found a few sites and downloaded the full creativity pack as
well as the winter fun pack. I am always nervous about downloading files from
site I'm not familiar with but I ran a virus scan and everything seems ok.

Check file size is the same as the official MS one, another step in ensuring
nothing is added.
