It all depends on what type of computer you have. If you have a Windows XP computer or Windows Vista Computer then Windows Movie Maker should already be on your computer.
In order to do this:
- Click on start and then look for the search option and click on it.
- In the box that says, "Search for files or folders named:" type in Windows Movie Maker.
- Click "Search Now" and wait as it searches for the desired file/folder.
- If you do in fact have Windows Movie Maker on your computer it will show up in the blank space on the right.
- And finally you should be able to click on the Icon that says Windows Movie Maker and it should open right up. If it doesn't then you probably haven't downloaded in. And in that case you just need to click on the Windows Movie Maker download icon and it will download from there.
If you have an older version of Windows then Windows Movie Maker will not be already on your computer. You will have to go to Google or what ever search engine you use and look for the correct download for your version of Windows.
Hope that this helps!

Do you have to pay to download windows live movie maker?
No, Windows Movie Maker is a free download. But, the program already comes free with Windows operating systems. So unless your current Movie Maker is not working properly and you wish to download and reinstall the program again, you don't need to download it.By the way, if you own a Mac... you can't download Windows Movie Maker at all. Mac machines include iMovie software for video editing if I am not mistaken. (And I could be mistaken since I haven't used/owned a Mac for many, many moons now).

I downloaded the latest version of Windows Movie Maker for XP but it still won't work. As soon as I get on it - it kicks me off?
What version did you download? Xp users can only download v2.1. If you attempted to download v2.6 (or Windows Live Movie Maker), they won't work because those versions only support Windows Vista (and Windows 7).If you downloaded the correct version for your operating system and it is still not working, uninstall it and try this download. Many people have thanked me for directing them to this WMM v2.1 for Xp, because the download is 100% reliable.A good friend of mine had the same problem. She tried for days and days downloading v2.1 (from various sites) but still could not get the program to work. So, I advised her to try this site's Windows Movie Maker v2.1 download. To make a long story short... She is now a Happy Camper with a fully functional Windows Movie Maker v2.1.Now, what worked for her may not work for you... but it can't do any harm to try. Here's the URL to the download:http://www.nomboo.co.cc/2009/10/movie-maker-create-edit-and-share-your.html
