You should install XP SP2 (service pack 2), which will get you the latest
MMM 2.1.

SP2 is the recommened option. However if you cannot isntall the whole
service pack for some reason, you can still get the upgrade from SP1.x to
2.0 (a minor previous version from 2.1) here:

When you open Movie Maker what version does it tell you that you have?
When you do it John's way by navigating to the "moviemk.exe" file what
version does it then tell you that you have?
