To be honest the first time I installed it it trashed a hard drive but I
needed info off it so I ended up buying a new hdd, it installed ok except for
movie maker and I must confess the thought of risking a re-install of sp2
does not appeal.

It sounds a bit like you perhaps had a corrupted download of SP2 and the
corrupted just happened to be at the point of MovieMaker2.

If you have a retail copy of Windows XP, you may want to try slipsteaming
SP2 ......

Download the full version of SP2 again in case it is corrupted.... then
follow the instructions at
http://www.msfn.org/articles.php?action=show&showarticl...

You can produce an ISO file and burn that image to a CD. The resulting CD
is now a bootable one and you can do a Repair Installation with it, just as
you can with a retail copy of XP... but this one is integrated with SP2.

Hi again
again tbhat ugly word reinstall comes up, I have a retail xp home disc but
surely microsoft can come up with a better method, such as making the movie
maker .exe file available somewhere, I make dvds of home videos but its
starting to look like nero vision express 2 will have to come out to play.
Thansk for your suggestions I do appreciate any help offered, but I have now
got a deep seated fear of service pack installations.

It's a Repair Install, not a format and clean reinstall.

It seems from what is posted that Movie Maker has a corrupt file due to downloading SP2. I would like to know if down loading SP2 again will fix the corrupt file.
