Title: Windows Movie Maker 2.6 OK on Windows 7?
Post by: neelchauhan on December 15, 2009, 01:51:34 PM
I saw an article at http://on10.net/blogs/sarahintampa/Miss-the-Old-Movie-Maker-Get-it-Back-on-Windows-7/ and I wanted to know if I can use Movie Maker 2.6 (Or the Vista HD movie maker) on Windows 7 since I will start using it when I build my next PC (I delayed my PC build because of budget cuts)? I don't like the Windows Live Movie Maker.

I have used it before on windows 7 (when it was still in one of the beta builds). I assume the official final released version of Windows 7 should be able to handle it.

I would make a clean system restore point before you start tinkering with that older Movie Maker, in the event that Movie Maker is not working, you can easily go back to previous state.

I thanked you for the post. On my Next PC build, I will use a clean Install.

Why is the Windows Live Movie Maker not an option?

I don't think it's that Windows Live Movie Maker is terrible in its rights, it's just you'd like the features that Vista's Movie Maker provided.
