Vista - How to get Photo gallery "make a movie" button open WMM 2.6?

How to get Photo gallery "make a movie" button open WMM 2.6?

When I clicked on "Make a movie" button in Windows Photo Gallery, I got an
error stating that WMM could not start because my video card does not support
required hardware acceleration. After browsing through its help, I downloaded
and installed WMM 2.6.
Now my problem is how do I tell this "Make a movie" button to open WMM 2.6.
It just always tries to open the default WMM which came with Vista and keeps
on giving me the same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: How to get Photo gallery "make a movie" button open WMM 2.6?

Hi. Unfortunately when you click the "Make a Movie" button in Windows Photo
Gallery, the version of Windows Movie Maker in Windows Vista will always try
to open rather than Windows Movie Maker 2.6.

To workaround this issue and import photos and/or videos into Windows Movie
Maker 2.6, start Windows Movie Maker 2.6, click "File", click "Import into
Collections", and then select the pictures and/or videos that you want to
use in your movie. You can then add the imported photos and videos to the
storyboard/timeline in Windows Movie Maker and begin editing from there.

Sincerely,
