Microsoft Downloads - Windows Movie Maker 2.6
"Movie Maker 2.6 is for Windows Vista users whose computer cannot run the Vista version of Movie Maker.
To test if your computer can run the Vista version of Movie Maker:
1. From the Start menu, click All Programs.
2. Click Windows Movie Maker.
If Movie Maker launches, you should not download version 2.6.
If you get an error message that says, "Windows Movie Maker cannot start because your video card does not support the required level of hardware acceleration or hardware acceleration is not available", download and install Movie Maker 2.6...."
Yep, I was one of those people who couldn't run it. I guess it was my Windows Experience of 1.0... ;)
Well with this update/new version I can now run it.
One thing that confused me a little... This download does not replace your existing Vista Windows Movie Maker. It installs an additional copy, side-by-side. Meaning after you install this, you will have two Movie Makers installed.
When you "Start" make sure you select "Windows Movie Maker 2.6". (i.e. if you keep trying to launch "Windows Movie Maker" and not "Windows Movie Maker 2.6" you'll still get the hardware warning...)
