Where can I download Windows Movie Maker 2.1 for Windows XP and will it work on Windows 7 or Windows Vista?

There are three ways to install Windows Movie Maker 2.1 for Windows XP on Windows 7.1-First on Windows XP go to programs on C drive and copy the Movie Maker program file and paste it into your My Documents or Downloads folder. A copy of the Movie Maker program file should now be in your my Documents or Downloads folder where you have pasted it.Go to where you have pasted the Movie Maker file,right click on the file with your mouse and click send to zip folder. This creates a zip file with all the Movie Maker program files inside. Now to install Movie Maker 2.1 on Windows 7 you can either-1-Transfer the Movie Maker zip file from your Windows XP computer to your Windows 7 computer using Microsoft shared View or Team Viewer.Which lets you transfer files from one computer to the other computer. Or-2- Upload the Movie Maker zip file to a file sharing and storage site online like Mediafire. And then download it onto your Windows 7 computer. Or-3-Transfer the Movie Maker zip file onto a USB thumb drive from your Windows XP computer and install it onto your Windows 7 computer that way.Once you have got the Movie Maker zip file onto your Windows 7 computer using one of the three methods above. Open the zip file and extract the files to Programs on C drive and make a new folder. Rename new folder Movie Maker 2.1 so that it does not conflict with any other versions of Movie Maker you have installed.Now send the Movie Maker short cut to your desktop and click on it. And now Windows Movie Maker 2.1 is working on Windows 7. And the web cam feature will also work.But please note, you must have Windows Movie Maker 2.6 installed in order for Windows Movie Maker 2.1 to work. This is because Windows Movie Maker 2.1 uses some of the dill and program files of Windows Movie Maker 2.6 in order to run. But as long as you have Windows Movie Maker 2.6 installed,then Windows Movie Maker 2.1 will work on Windows 7.Windows Movie Maker 2.1 works on Windows 7 without any problems. And can be used alongside other versions of Windows Movie Maker,Windows Movie Maker 6 and 2.6.
