Re: Using Movie Maker on a 64bit machine

Hello,

32bit Pro have now been waiting just over 6 weeks for the 64bit pro to
arrive. Microsoft have taken their money from my card though...I wonder what
responce I would get if I asked for the interest back

I have not installed the free download as I discovered from the wording
that I would have to re-install all over again. It implied that it is
cripple ware (to that extent)
