Ah, yes, there are those problems when you deal with freeware. Is the main difficulty you are having regarding Movie Maker is the new version? If so, perhaps you can download an older, more familiar version; try searching for "movie maker free older version"; there appears to be several places where you can still download the older flavors...
You might also consider seeking out Movie Maker forums; search for "windows movie maker forums"; like-minded individuals such as yourself may have/had the same problems and may have good workarounds or solutions...
