Just go to start, control panel, and add/remove programs.

Well, then I don't know what to do. Do you NEED to uninstall movie maker?

I think Sony gives away a decent video editor (or at least a demo), or you could find a used copy of an old version of Adobe Premiere on eBay pretty cheap...

Videohelp.com is full of utilities of varying quality. Movie maker sucks, but to my knowledge it's one of the best 100% free video editors out there. (For example, I can't get VirtualDub to work 99% of the time.)

As for uninstalling it, you could follow the directions <a href="http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread ... p">here</a>, or you could use <a href="http://www.litepc.com/">XPlite</a>. But first you should try installing a new copy over the old one; maybe it will repair it.

would you recommend virtual dub? for right now all i need is something that lets me play back a video with sound of me playing guitar, and overlay it with the original song.

I'm pretty sure you can do that with VirtualDub. You may want to mix the audio separately with Audacity and then mux it to the video with NanDub (I know that would work). But if VirtualDub can do it, then it's probably easier there (I haven't used VD in awhile, sorry).

Sorry to dig up an old topic, but can VirtualDub make credits and titles?
