video editing help

Hi,
I have a few video files that I wish to edit. I wish to take one or two clips from these files and then save it as a new movie.
Windows movie maker was good for this as its so simple. but it has recently stopped working.
I tried Adobe premiere pro but couldn't get anywhere.
So, can anyone recommend a program I can use for this simple task?
thx :D

Use a program called cyberlink power director 3. It is simple to use and will do the job you want.

VirtualDubMod, free, and easy to use. :)
