Plain and simple question... what is the newest version of windows movie maker out?... I have the very base version that comes with XP and it doesn't have all the cool features like my buddie's does, but he said he got an automatci update... which i didn't get. So if someone could gimme the name (2.0.0etc.) and maybe where i could download it, that'd be super.

If you have Windows XP, there should already be a section for automatic updates. Just turn it on in the settings area. As for what's the most updated version, I'm not sure, you'd just have to turn on your updates. If you go to your start menu, you should see "Windows Update" towards the top. Try that.

Also, this is the wrong forum to start this thread. Next time try this forum instead.

Well, if your Windows is pirated, I doubt you'll be able to update anything. And, according to forum rules, "Thou shalt not use pirated software", and no one will be able to tell you where to get Window Movie Maker. In that case, if you are serious about editing, and you really want to get the newest version, your only course of action would be to buy a legit copy of Windows XP.

You can get Windows Movie Maker 2 for free from download.com, I know it's there but I don't have the exact link.

correct me if i'm wrong but wouldn't that be going against the aforementionned "thou shalt not use pirated software"?

Since when does download.com offer illegal downloads?
Windows Movie Maker has always been a free download for anyone with Windows XP (from Microsoft's website), so I don't see the issue here.

So, let me get this straight-

You can still use Microsoft Update if your copy of XP is pirated?
See, I wasn't aware of that.

Sorry to mislead you, I thought you were saying that you couldn't use Update BECAUSE your XP is pirated....
Couldn't hurt to try Windows Update and see if it works, though.
