Obtaining Windows Movie Maker 2.1

Can anyone advise me how to get a copy of WMM 2.1?
I'm running XP with SP3, so Windows Update doesn't offer me the option of
downloading SP2 with WMM 2.1.
Microsoft Update takes me to Windows Update.
The ostensible WMM download page accessed from
http://download.cnet.com/Windows-Movie-Maker-Windows-XP/3000-13631_4-10165075.html,
while it provides a wealth of information, offers absolutely no way to
actually download anything.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
 
Why do you think you don't already have it?

Start>Run moviemk.exe

SP3 includes MM2.1.... after I read your post I checked my website's Setup
Movie Maker > XP-MM2.1 page. It read as if only SP2 contained MM2.1, but so
does SP3.

I updated the page so it now covers both SP2 and SP3.... thanks
 
Thank you

Apparently the WMM doesn't show up in the start menu anywhere. I had the same
problem at home and at my school where I work in the IT department. None of
the computers had WMM and they all have SP3. I went to program files and
found it and made a shortcut on the desktop for it. If you don't know to run
moviemk.exe or look in program files for it, it appears to not be installed.

On another note, for people who don't want SP2 you can still google for
version 2.0 of the movie maker and find a free download other places besides
MS.
