how to Using Windows Movie Maker

Windows Movie Maker is a totally free program that comes with Windows XP Home
Edition, Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows XP Professional, and Windows
Vista. This tutorial will cover how to use Windows Movie Maker Version 2.0 and 2.1.
One of these versions are probably already installed on your computer if you use
Windows XP with Service Pack Two. If you are using Windows XP with Service Pack
One then you’re computer probably has an older version of Windows Movie Maker
installed. If this is the case, upgrade to Service Pack Two and Windows Movie Maker
Version 2.1 from the official Microsoft Update Website,

Windows Movie Maker 2.1 and lower are not compatible with Windows Vista. Another
version of Windows Movie Maker, version 2.6, runs only in Windows Vista, and can do
everything version 2.1 and 2.0 can.

free space on your Windows hard drive (usually called the C drive or C:\) before you
begin editing.
