I have decided to put all of my work from my 4 other blogs,Hezbollah Milita,Hezbollah connect and Hezbollah-Andrea Pages into 3 blogs. I have done this because I find managing 7 blogs too much of a handful.
So I have discontinued my other 3 blogs,Hezbollah Milita,Hezbollah Connect and Hezbollah-Andrea pages,they are no more now. And instead I have moved all of my best posts from these blogs onto this site-Hezbollah And Andrea online and my other site-Hezbollah And Andrea.
I also have a new web address for my other site-Hezbollah And Andrea online,which can now be found at http://www.hezbollahconnect.net
Images-Windows Movie Maker 2.1 on my Windows 7.And Windows Movie Maker 2.1 web cam feature working on my Windows 7.
Windows Movie Maker 2.1 is bundled with Windows XP and has many features that have been taken out of Movie Maker 2.6 and 6. The record from the web cam feature has been removed from both Windows Movie Maker 2.6 and 6. For this reason many people prefer to use Windows Movie Maker 2.1, that has the web cam capture feature.
But Windows Movie Maker 2.1 is only installed on Windows XP and not on Windows Vista and Windows 7. And although Windows Movie Maker 6 and 2.6 are made for Windows Vista. Windows Movie Maker 2.6 can be downloaded from the Microsoft website,and Windows Movie Maker 6 can be downloaded from other websites on the web. And both Windows Movie Maker 2.6 and 6 work on Windows 7.
But I have not been able to find a download link for Windows Movie Maker 2.1 on the web. But I have read several tutorials on the web that say you can install and run Windows XP Movie Maker 2.1 on Windows 7.
I have installed Windows Movie Maker 2.1 for Windows XP on my Windows 7 netbook. I copied all of the Windows Movie Maker 2.1 program files and I transferred them to my Windows 7 laptop. And now Movie Maker 2.1 is working in Windows 7. And so is the web cam capture feature working just like it does on Windows XP.
So if you have a Windows XP computer you can transfer the Movie Maker 2.1 program files onto your Windows 7 computer. And there are several ways of doing this.Here is how to install Windows Movie Maker 2.1 on Windows 7.And it should also work for Windows Vista as well.
On Windows XP go you programs on C drive and look for the program file Movie Maker.
Copy the Movie Maker program file and paste it into either the My Documents or My Downloads folder. The copy of the Movie Maker program file should now be in the folder.
Open the folder and right click on the Movie Maker program file and click send to zip folder. You should now have a zip installer file called Movie Maker.
Now you have to transfer the Movie Maker zip file onto Windows 7. And there are three ways of doing this.
1-Transfer the zip file from your Windows XP laptop onto your Windows 7 laptop using a USB Thumb Drive.Or-
2-Transfer the Movie Maker zip file from your Windows XP computer to your Windows 7 computer using Microsoft Shared View or Team Viewer.Which can connect to your other computers on your network. And transfer files from one computer to the other. Or-
3-If you have an account with a file sharing site like Mediafire.You can upload the Movie Maker Zip file to your account on Mediafire or any other file sharing or file storage site online. And then download the program file from Mediafire onto your Windows 7 laptop.
Once the zip file is on your Windows 7 computer or laptop-unzip and extract the files to Programs/C/drive/new folder.
If you have Windows Movie Maker 6 installed you MUST create a new folder. Because the Windows Movie Maker 6 program file is also called Movie Maker. And if you do not create a new folder,program file for Movie Maker 6 will be replaced with just the Windows XP Movie Maker program file. As Windows will not keep two files with the same name.
One you have extracted the Movie Maker file,go to programs on C drive and you should see a file named New Folder. Rename this folder to Movie Maker 2.1,then open the file. Then send the Movie Maker shortcut to the desktop.And you can also pin the shortcut to the start menu and taskbar.
Windows Movie Maker 2.1 is now installed on Windows 7. But I have found that in order for Windows Movie Maker 2.1 to run in Windows 7. You must have Windows Movie Maker 2.6 installed as well in order to get the full features of 2.1.
I found that when I installed Movie Maker 2.1 on one of my Windows 7 laptops that did not have Movie Maker 2.6 installed.Windows Movie Maker 2.1 did not work properly. But after I installed Movie Maker 2.6,Movie Maker 2.1 worked without any problems.
Which suggests that Windows Movie Maker 2.1 runs off of Windows Movie Maker 2.6.And uses some of the same files as 2.6. In the same way that some Internet Explorer based web browsers,like Green browser or Avant browser need Internet Explorer in order to run.
And Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is the same as Windows Movie Maker 2.1.And both versions are exactly the same.Except that Movie Maker 2.6 does not have the web cam capture feature.And also some other features have been removed from 2.6 But Movie Maker 2.1 does have the web cam capture feature.And both Movie Maker 2.1 and 2.6 have the same dill files. Which could explain why Movie Maker 2.1 needs Movie Maker 2.6 to run on Windows 7.
However,you do not need to have Windows Movie Maker 6 installed to run Movie Maker 2.1 on Windows 7.
So Windows Movie Maker 2.1 can run on Windows 7 without Movie Maker 6 installed. But you MUST have Windows Movie Maker 2.6 installed.
So now have Windows Movie Maker 2.1 for Windows XP installed on all of my Windows 7 laptops.And it is running without any problems.
And I also have Windows Movie Maker 6 and 2.6 on my laptops as well as Windows Movie Maker 2.1. All three versions of Movie Maker can run alongside each other without any problems on Windows 7.

Yesterday I told you how I was banned from Seven Forums for doing nothing. Well,I have just been banned from a forum called Expert Law,which is an American forum.The offense- I started a new thread about how I was banned from Seven Forums. I got several replies from members,until a moderator came along and banned me from the forum. So now I am banned for life from the Expert Law forum as well as from Seven Forums.
So I have been banned from two forums in twenty four hours. First Seven Forums, and now Expert Law forums. Here is an update.
Yesterday,after I found out I was banned from Seven Forums, I emailed the forum to find out why I was banned. I have yet to receive a response from them. I then decided to post on another computer software forum that I recently joined,Neowin Forums. I started a thread about how I was wrongly banned from Seven Forums and I explained in the thread that I did not do anything wrong to deserve to be banned. I got several replies but the moderators would not allow my thread to be viewed publicly. That is that only forum members can view the thread but they have to log in to read it and post on it.
But after several replies a moderator locked the thread with a warning that it could be against their terms of service to talk about other forums. And he also said that my thread was under review and could be deleted. But the fact that the moderator locked my thread,so I could not post on it again made me very angry. And Neowin Forums would not set it to public view. So it seemed pointless posting on there as other people could not read it. Unless they were members of the forum and logged in.
So I decided to post on Expert Law forums because I wanted to rant and get it out of my system. And so I started my own thread on Expert Law forums about my ban from Seven Forums. I got several replies and in the thread I told them that I am famous on the Internet and Google finds a lot of posts by me. And then a moderator came along and locked the thread,with the words-
Expert Law Forums Moderator-
"I expect it is more of a result of you being annoying. Monitoring you to ensure you don't get up to shenanigins is giving me a headache. Out you go."
And then when I logged back into Expert Law forum,I got this message-
You have been banned for the following reason: No reason was specified. Date the ban will be lifted:Never.
So Expert Law forums banned me just for posting about being banned from Seven Forums. Even though I clearly explained in my posts that I did not do anything wrong on Seven Forums.
That is, I did not write any obscene content. I did not insult or abuse other members. And I told them that Seven Forums banned me because I replied to a members compliment about my You Tube video about forums,by thanking him on the thread. Which was about Windows Movie Maker, so the member was off topic and so was I. But I did not deserve to be banned over that. And that most forums would not ban you for posting off topic. They would just tell you to start a new thread.
But instead of being reasonable Expert Law forums have banned me for writing about my ban from Seven Forums. And have given me a nasty message every time I log in to add insult to injury. Just like Seven Forums have done.
But I have dealt with those ignorant bullies of Expert Law forums before. I first got involved with that forum when last year I was falsely accused of stealing a cash box in a Wimpy bar cafe in Southend Essex. The staff lied to me that they saw me on camera taking the box into the toilets. So I voluntarily emptied my handbag and carrier bag on the table in front of them to prove to them they were mistaken. And that I did not steal their cash box. Which I did not. And then they had to admit they were wrong. But they did not apologize to me.
And I was so humiliated and upset that I wanted to write about it. And I made the mistake of posting my story on Expert Law forums. I expected to be treated like an adult and a human being. But instead the forum members said I did take the cash box and they bated me and wound me up. And then they locked the thread.
I was so upset by this I even spoke to a policeman and asked him if I could be arrested for stealing. Because the cafe staff lied to me that they saw me take the cash box,even though I did not take it. And I told him I had just posted on this forum, and the members there told me I did take the box. The policeman told me that, there is NO WAY the camera would show me taking the cash box if I did not take it. And that those idiots on Expert Law forums were winding me up and just being nasty.
Which made me feel better but very angry at the forum members for treating me like that.
So after last years experience with that forum,Expert Law,I should not have gone back there and posted on there again. So the fact that they too have banned me, along with Seven Forums does not surprise me.
Expert Law forums made it clear to me last year that they did not like me or even want me on the forum then. So I should have got the message and not have gone back there and posted on that forum again. But I did and now they have banned me.
So now I have been banned from two forums-Seven Forums and Expert Law forums. And I know by posting here about Neowin Forums not publishing my thread. That I risk being banned from that forum. But I don't care. As it is not right that forums can publicly intimidate,bully and abuse innocent people,simply for speaking their mind in their posts. And they do this by making insulting comments,locking the threads,deleting posts and banning you for no reason. And that's what I was banned for-no reason.
And I feel as if the forums that have done this to me have got it in for me. But I don't think that I was banned from Seven Forums or Expert Law forums because of what I wrote on there. I think that a moderator saw my posts on Google about forums,watched my videos and did not like what I said. And took a dislike to me on those grounds and banned me.
And I do write a lot of posts and make videos about forums. About how I disagree with their rules which are far too strict. And they do not like that.
But you have no control over a forum. They can delete your posts,they can edit your posts,they can lock your threads, or the threads you post on. And they can ban you. Which is what they have done to me. So if you want to post on a forum. At least now, you know what to expect.
It happened again I have just been banned from another forum. A few months ago I told readers how I got threatened with a ban from Linux Mint forums. And how C Net forums banned me,but reinstated me after I emailed a moderator about my ban. Well,it has happened again,about an hour ago today. This time Seven Forums have banned me for doing nothing.
Seven Forums is another computer software forum. And unlike most other forums they are very strict. For example if you write off topic,they just delete your post. Sometimes they just move the off topic post to a new thread depending what mood they are in.
And today I got a reply from a forum member on a thread called Install Windows Movie Maker 6 on Windows 7. In which I wrote several posts. And on the latest post was a comment from a form member. Which said," Andrea ,I saw a video you posted on You Tube it was fascinating."
And so out of good manners I wrote back on the thread" Thank you very much. In my You Tube video,I was just giving a sense of humor approach about how some forums are. But not all forums are like that. Some forums are very understanding and good."
About twenty minutes after I wrote and published that post on the thread. I tried to log into my account on the forum. And here is the message I got.
Seven Forums message-
You have been banned for the following reason: Persona non grata. Date the ban will be lifted:Never.
So Seven Forums have banned me for life from their forum and they did not even write the reason in English. But I looked up on Wikipedia what persona non grata means. And it means person not welcome.
So I have been banned from Seven Forums just because I replied to a forum member who praised my You Tube Video.
It is true that,the member posted off topic by praising my video about forums. When the thread was about Windows Movie Maker 6. And I was off topic by replying back on the thread, thanking him for liking my video. But that is no reason to ban me for life from the forum. And the unfair thing is that when I went back on the website,I saw that the member has not been banned and I have.
So I have been banned from Seven Forums. But the member who was off topic by praising my video has not been banned.
But I think that is not the real reason Seven Forums have banned me. I think that a moderator saw my video about posting on a forums.And did not like what I said in the video. And probably did not like me. And that is the real reason why I have been banned from the forum.
But it is true that a lot of forums are strict and that Seven Forums are stricter than most forums. But to ban me just for replying to another members post complimenting one of my You Tube videos. That is just nasty,ignorant and spiteful of Seven Forums to ban me for that. When in the real world that is not a criminal offense.
So you have no control over a forum. They can delete your posts,they can lock your threads and any threads that you post on. And they can ban you for no reason at all. You have been warned about forums.
Windows Movie Maker 6 is bundled with Windows Vista, just like Windows Movie Maker 2.1 is bundled with Windows XP.But Windows 7 does not come with Windows Movie Maker,but you can install Windows Movie Maker 2.6 for Windows Vista,on Windows 7.
Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is made for Windows Vista computers that do not have the hardware to run Windows Movie Maker 6. But you can run both Windows Movie Maker 6 and 2.6 alongside each other on both Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
Windows Movie Maker 6 is a clone of Windows Movie Maker 2.1 that is on Windows XP. And 2.6 is exactly the same as the Windows XP version. While Windows Movie Maker 6 has some more advanced features.For example if you upload a video to Movie Maker 2.6,a ten minute video is split up into about 30 or more video clips. And you then have to paste all of these clips to the story board,which takes some time. Where as on Movie Maker 6,the whole video clip is uploaded in the movie maker. And you can then choose to split the video up into clips and or publish the whole video.
In Windows Movie Maker 6 you can convert avi files into wmv just like on 2.6,add subtitles. But there are some new extra video effects and features you can add to your video. And in Windows Movie Maker 6,there is the option to send your video by email after it is published. Windows Movie Maker 2.6 does not have this feature.And also I found that videos uploaded to Movie Maker publish faster in a lot less time in Windows Movie Maker 6. Than what they do in Windows Movie Maker 2.6. At first I was not keen on Windows Movie Maker 6,having tried Windows Live Movie Maker, and found it not user friendly at all.
But Windows Movie Maker 6 is not like Windows Live Movie Maker. And Windows Live Movie Maker is not the same as Windows Movie Maker. The two are very different from one another.But if like me, you like both features of Windows Movie Maker 2.6 and Windows Movie Maker 6. The good news is that you can install and run both 2.6 and 6 on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
If you have Windows Vista you already have Windows Movie Maker 6 as it comes with Windows. But you can also install Windows Movie Maker 2.6 and run it alongside 6 on Windows Vista. And many Windows Vista users prefer to use 2.6 instead of the version 6 installed,others like to use both 2.6 and 6.
But if you have got Windows 7,you will have to download both Windows Movie Maker 2.6 and Windows Movie Maker 6 from the web. As Windows 7 does not come with Windows Movie Maker.
Windows Movie Maker 2.6 can be downloaded from the Microsoft website and Windows Movie Maker 6 can be downloaded from other sites on the web.I have found a download link for Windows Movie Maker 6 and have saved the installation file on Mediafire. The download link for Movie Maker 6 is at the bottom of this page.
USING BOTH WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER 6 AND WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER 2.6.
Both Windows Movie Maker 6 and 2.6 are fully compatible with Windows 7 and can also be run alongside each other in Windows Vista. So you can use both 6 and 2.6 alternatively,although you cannot open both at the same time. But I use Movie Maker 2.6 and also Movie Maker 6 to make my videos. Both versions are good and each has different features. And I recommend that to get the best out of Movie Maker,that you install both versions.
But Windows XP users are out of luck,as Windows Movie Maker 2.6 and 6 will not work on Windows XP. Both Windows Movie Maker 2.6 and 6 was made for Windows Vista, but as Windows 7 is almost the same as Windows Vista. So, both versions of Windows Movie Maker run on Windows 7. And I now have both Windows Movie Maker 2.6 and Windows Movie Maker 6 running on all of my Windows 7 computers without any problems. And Windows 7 does have better hardware than Windows Vista, and so it can run both versions of Windows Movie Maker.

Images-top left-Windows Movie Maker 2.6 on Windows 7.
Windows 7 and Windows Vista are alike. In fact both operating systems look identical in appearance. But while Windows 7 is fast,Windows Vista is slower and takes up more ram than Windows 7 and Windows XP does. Also Windows Vista does not run well on a Netbook,although there are Netbooks with Windows Vista.
But because Windows 7 and Windows Vista are so similar to one another,you can run all of that great software,such as Windows Mail and Windows Calendar and more on Windows 7.
In this post I am going to show you the easy way to install Windows Mail and Windows Calendar on Windows 7.
The Windows Mail program file in Windows 7 is inactive and will not run the email program. So to reinstate Windows Mail, we need to delete the WINDOWS 7 Windows Mail program file. And then replace this file with the WINDOWS VISTA program file of Windows Mail. But as the Windows Mail program file is owned by Trusted Installer,you cannot just delete it.
So first you have to download a tool called Unlocker,which deletes any file. This will unlock the file and delete it. Delete the Windows Mail file found in programs on C drive. Then download Windows Mail for Windows Vista.The download link is at the bottom of this page.And unzip and extract the file to programs on C drive. Then open the file and click on the Win Mail icon and click,"send to desktop," to create a shortcut from your desktop. You can rename the shortcut Windows Mail. And you can now run Windows Mail on Windows 7 and it works the same way as it does in Windows Vista.
To run Windows Calendar in Windows 7, just download the program from the link at the bottom of the page. Unzip the file and extract to programs on C drive. Then go to the file and open it and look for the icon Win Cal. And right click send to desktop to create a shortcut like you did with Windows Mail. Rename the desktop shortcut, Windows Calendar. And you can now run both Windows Calendar and Windows Mail directly from your desktop in Windows 7. And you can also set Windows Mail as your default email program.
I now have Windows Mail,Windows Calendar,the Windows Vista Sidebar and also Windows Movie Maker 2.6 and Windows Movie Maker 6 running on all of my Windows 7 computers without any problems. All of these programs are for Windows Vista but they run on Windows 7. So now you can have all of that great Windows Vista software running on Windows 7,without the slowness of Windows Vista. It can be done.
Also many software for Windows XP such as Windows Live Messenger for Windows XP works on both Windows 7 and Windows Vista. As well as many web browsers,such a Pink browser and Advanced browser,that were made for Windows XP. But they work on Windows 7.
