Does anyone know if HDV download and edit works wih the "ported" MM6 in W7? In Vista HP and Ult, I have a free HDV editing tool. I'm not giving that up by upgrading to W7.

PapaJohn - Thanks for your great series of articles on MM and Windows 7. They were very helpful to me. I've just "installed" Vista MM 6.0 on Vista RTM and it was a breeze.
Quick tip on registering the DLLs:
1. Open Command Prompt (in Accessories) by right-clicking and selecting "Run as Administrator".
2. Type in the following command: regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\wmm2ext.dll" and press enter (include the quotes).
3. You'll receive a message that the operation was successful.
4. Repeat for the other dlls specified above.
Create a shortcut to Movie Maker on the Desktop or in your Start Menu, and off you go!
Thanks again - much appreciated!

Movie Maker 2.1 wasn't made in 1994... In 1994 we had Windows 3.1 (Windows 95 wouldn't appear until a year later), and Movie Maker just didn't exist (you had Microsoft Video for Windows which was a pay product and worked with AVI files).
You probably meant 2004, the date when SP2 for XP came out.

I've been able to get Vista's Movie Maker 6.0 (from Vista x64) to work in Win 7 RC x64 by registering all the .dll's in the Movie Maker folder. The video import wizard works, effects, transisitions, etc all work, and I can publish to PC or DVD.

The only problems I've had relate to nVidia's latest video driver, which buggers up some title effects. The video driver installed by Win 7 during initial installation works fine. Thanks for the inspiration to get this working!
