NOTES

Windows Movie Maker comes with your Windows XP software.  I've seen the software on these 3 folders so if this is your first time, try all all 3.
 
Start -> All Programs
Start -> All Programs -> Accessories
Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment
 
The log for Windows Movie Maker looks like this.  It's a visual cue for you to locate the software for the first time.   

Windows Movie Maker can be downloaded from the Microsoft site as well.  http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=34

I gave you the official site so you will always get the latest version.  However, if you cannot download for the site for any reason, click Contact Us for help.
