I have been making short movies and pulling off stills with version
1.2.2541.1 from my Samsung miniDVscd77 onto a Dell Inspiron8100 with an
OrangeLink firewire since 2002. Once upon a time, I updated my current
version at microsoft with, at the time, the latest beta version. I could not
figure out how to continue to pull stills from my camera with that version.
So, I went back to the older version.

And then, I installed the latest microsoft service pack... and there was
MovieMaker 2 on my computer.

So, I called DELL and they recomended using the Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition reinstallation cd. I tried that and the older version is not on the
disc.

Where do I find 1.2.2541.1??
 
Movie maker is part of windows xp, so I cannot understand why a reinstall of
XP does not install MM1.
Did you do a reformat and install?
 
I don't know about getting the older version, but you can basically do what
you want in the new version, just in a different way,

In MM2 you can pull the pictures from captured video.

Capture your tape, or the parts you care about.
Then preview the clips, and pause/framestep to the frame you want and click
the camera button toward the lower right of the preview.

I tend to capture an entire tape so I have it all on my PC for making a home
movie, so this works well for me because the pictures stay right there with
the clips for making my movie (as well as save to a file), so no need to
import them again like you had to in 1.2
