    I want to download parts of Windows live Essentials such as Movie Maker and Windows Photo Gallery. The rest of it I have no use for.

    Is there A way to download just those programs individually? :confused
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Dyamond, I use WIN 7 Pro. It does show up in the add/remove programs list and can be uninstalled and reinstalled if desired, but when I did that I got the whole list of files.

    The problem I'd prefer not to have unnecessary clutter slowing the PC down.
    I like to run a clean ship if you know what I mean.

    Thanks, Halo. I guess I missed that when I installed.
    One more question if I may. I am interested only in Photo Gallery and Movie Maker. I see Photo Gallery on the list but not Movie Maker.

    Do you know which one I'd Check for that? In any event, I'll uninstall and reinstall the selections I want.
    Thanks again.

    Hi

    Sorry the image is an old one I had saved as I already have Windows Live Essentials installed in a test beta version thats newer than the one currently available so wont install for me, but Movie Maker is part of the Essentials download I linked too.


    Just loaded up a Windows Vista PC and this is the screenshot from the Essentials installer

    so can tick or untick what options you want, unticking if items are already installed will uninstall those.

    Thanks again Halo. I was going to uninstall the whole thing and just reinstall the 2 I wanted, but when I went to uninstall it gave me the option of just installing the items I didn't need.
    Clean and simple.
    Thanks to all who helped.
