Default SP3 and window movie maker

When I upgraded from SP2 to SP3 some time ago did upgrade affect WMM working
with SP3?. Reason being it is not working.

And if upgrade did affect WMM I am not sure about going back to SP2

Is there some other way to add a wav file to a avi file from a Canon SD750?

I have software to convert resulting avi to mp4 and then to youtube upload.

thanks

your main Movie Maker executable is the version 2.0 one, not the latest 2.1
which has been out since Service Pack 2 was released in 2004.

Would you know where I can find a downloadable version of 2.1 reason I ask is
it appears I would have to back to SP2 which came with 2.1 and then back to
SP3 and 2.1 may or may not work with sp3.

partial victory
I found below and was able to reinstall WMM except still cannot drag and drop.
Reinstalling Movie Maker 2.1...

Reinstalling Movie Maker

* Browse to C:\Windows\inf
* Right click on Moviemk.inf and select Install
* When it asks for your Windows XP cd put it in and browse to the i386
folder. If you've installed the set of backup files on your hard drive,
browse to c:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
* Select moviemk.exe and click the Open butten
* the OK button will copy the files and finish the reinstall....

Then I did below by copying those 8 files plus filter to moviemaker.
Yes I can bring in a wav or avi file and see it play in play window no
problem.

dragging and dropping is still a problem. And yes I opened a new project
prior to drag and drop. When I drag I press left mouse and drag and then
release. Saying that just in case I should be pressing some other button at
same time.

Would you want to see another picture of what I have in moviemaker?

do you mean drag and drop into Movie Maker from a file manager, or from the
collections to the project storyboard/timeline?

did you re-register the dll's after copying them into the folder, just for
good luck

do you mean drag and drop into Movie Maker from a file manager, or from the
collections to the project storyboard/timeline?
from left hand collections to storyboard/timeline.
And I started a new project prior to drag and drop

I did re register each of those 5 files using run and copied each one at a
time. And did get message saying each was registered.

If I open a new project there are 6 large story boards and 1 smaller board
between each. six large 5 small.

Up on top in center screen I see collection movie0011 under name I see file
name movie0011 if I highlight movie0011 I can play it in right play window.
first story board has like a gray border not more than a few pixels wide
around it. all other boxes to right have no border.

When I click on movie0011 under name and drag it to first left side large
box, gray border around box turns darker blue. Nothing in box just a blue
border.
I'm thinking something should appear in box. Nothing does.
If I drag movie0011 under name in center box to any other story box nothing
happens. Box I drag to does not get a boarder. nothing.

I feel an answer is close.

if it matters I can't drag or drop or copy a video transition or effect to
storyboard or line.

What I can do is highlight previous comments and delete which is to say my
mouse appears to be working.

you're describing the appearance of the storyboard view for a new project,
before you've placed anything in it.... from the collections (above the
line).

each new avi file imported gets a new collection... with a clip or batch of
split clips in it.... you select one or more and drag/drop them to the
storyboard...

sounds like you just need some basic learning about how it works (or
doesn't)... hopefully not a problem

Are you saying if I open WMM
click on file,
new project
video transitions
and then drag and drop to storyboard or story line and dragging and dropping
one or any transition or effect option and nothing drops to story board then

sounds to you like I just need some basic learning about how it works (or doesn't)... hopefully not a problem?


Because if you telling me I need more help exactly what would I be doing
wrong if what I am doing above takes about 4 seconds it that?

you can't drag and drop transitions or effects to the storyboard before you
have clips on it.

I know what a clip is. I have an avi clip and a wav clip.

neither can be dragged or dropped to story board.

http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...onweb/wmm2.jpg

avi is a single clip 58 seconds and wav clip is about same.
I am not nor do I have plans to edit a 3 hour movie.

avi was taken with my canon SD750 and both avi and wav play just fine in WMM
