Movie Maker -- cannot update

[marcopolo69]

Hi, I'm new here and have a problem with MMaker on Win XP SP3. I believe the latest version is 2.1. I need to update it so that I can edit videos taken on my Sony ericsson C905 (MP4 movies). The version I have is 2.0.3312.0

I tried to look into Tools --> Options --> Compatibility for file types, but in my options menu there is no Compatibility tab (only General and Advanced tabs).

Any and all help and comments deeply appreciated.

Regards

To solve this problem , Shut your Movie Maker, if it is running.

Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the %SystemRoot%\RegisteredPackages\{60BFF50D-FB2C-4498-A577-C9548C390BB9} folder.

Now you need to Copy the files in %ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker folder. Yes to confirm.

Right-click the %ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker\Mm20ex.inf file and install it

Hope this help

Movie Maker can only work with files that Windows Media Player can open.

Try mp4cam2avi
It will convert your MPEG-4 files to AVI files.
