Editing Questions

Ok, I have some questions with using Windows Movie Maker. I've searched
everywhere with no success in trying to figure out what I'm wanting.

1. I want to delete just the audio for a single clip, I want the movie, but
not the sound with it, I'm going to overlay it with music and don't want the
sound that was recorded.

2. Dealing with the same clip I want to delete the audio from, is there a
way to speed up the play time? Meaning I don't want to shorten the clip as it
is now, I just want to speed up the play-back time of it, so it looks like
things are moving really fast?

I hope someone out there has some answers for me.
Am I trying to do too much with such a basic program?
Will I need to invest in a better program for the things I'm trying to
accomplish?

============================
In timeline view...right click the Audio track and choose mute.

Now add your music to the Audio/Music track.

=============================
To increase the play speed of the
clip...add 1 or more instances of the
"Speed Up, Double" video effect.

right click on the audio track of the clip and choose 'Mute'

apply the Speed Up - double video effect... add the effect a second time if
double-speed isn't fast enough

you're not trying to do too much.... still learning it's features.
