Thanks everyone. Would downloading the older version over-write the newer? Does any techie know the answer to this (how I would love a techie in shining armour
)?
I resorted to searching for and downloading, but not installing Video Pad and Virtual Dub. Then I did a quick check on youtube about how to use these. While watching a vid about one of them, I noticed this vid in the sidebar:

This told me all I needed to know about using Movie maker live.
I still don't like it as much as the previous version, but at least it hasn't crashed..... yet.
I'll download the installer for the old version, just in case.
Funny thing, I'd already done a youtube search for tutorials about movie maker live, to no avail. But I'm useless at searching for things. I even lose cats sometimes, but at least they find their way home (imagine sweet cat emoticon).
Had to stop taking the dizzy pills today and feel worse; but consultant wanted me off them so my brain would habituate faster, or something like that.
P.S. if you want to be relaxed, I'm muskndusk on youtube. There are better whisperers, soft-speakers and practisers in the art of creating asmr (auto sensory meridian response) tingles than me. I don't put ads on my vids, though youtube have done this to ones which they consider on the edge of copyright infringement (a few seconds from Wuthering Heights/Kate Bush, to intro a reading from the novel!).
