I am at wits end as I am wondering why my updated machine is without Windows
Movie maker 2.1 which is supposedly on the SP 2 update. According to the CD I
ordered, it has Movie maker 2.1 on it but when I installed it cleanly on a
formatted XP pro machine, no movie maker 2.1. Before the format, I downloaded
the admin of the SP2 and it gave me Movie maker 2.1. Does the CD contain less
than the downloaded sp2? I am a freak when it comes to having all the latest
updates and patches, so you can imagine my concern when I had to download
movie maker version 2 instead of 2.1. Where can I get version 2.1 if it won't
install from the CD and is not available at Windows Update?

The CD and the Downloaded (IT version) should be exactly the same.
I cannot explain why you saw the difference.

PA-

There is no download link. I have been to this page over and over again.
It's either order CD or go to Windows Update-Windows update does not
recognize my system as needing movie maker 2.1. However when I run the
program and choose the about for movie maker, it states version 2.0-I ordered
a new CD and it still didn't install version 2.1.

Is there a way to browse the SP 2 disc and locate Movie Maker 2.1 on it and
install alone?

Afraid not.. It is integrated into SP2.. Well, there is likely a way to
pull it out of the CAB files and such - but I don't even want to start going
there. heh

DO you think trying the new SP 2 disc will hurt an already updated sp 2
installation? In other words try and reinstall SP2 and get the 2.1?OR will it
affect the patches and updates I have since received and installed?

Reinstalling Service Packs is usually a harmless endeavor.
It shouldn't (SHOULDN'T) affect any patches you have installed since then
since none of them should REQUIRE SP2 at this point.

It's worth a shot.

Shenan-

Got a fix for the Movie Maker deal. To be honest, I do recall Windows
Update offering Movie Maker 2.0 before the release of SP 2 and 2.1.
Apparently I am not the black sheep when it comes to this issue.
