Click Start -> Run
Navigate to "C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\moviemk.exe"
That would be WMM 2.1

Try the following...go to...Start / Run
and type... moviemk.exe .....press
Enter.

If Movie Maker is on your system it
should launch.

==================================
After downloading and installing SP2...
go to Microsoft Update for additional
updates.

Download Windows XP SP2
http://tinyurl.com/6ubys

Generally, users install from the net but this
site allows you to download the complete
file to your hard drive before installing.

It's good for a network administrator because
you can burn it on a CD and install it on as
many computers as you need to.

And it's good for a single machine because
if you ever need to install it again...you'll have
it available without waiting for a download.
