Contrast controls the amount of white level. Try adjusting it.
More advanced video filters are on other systems that can fix overexposed camera shots a little but not sure if you have much control with Movie Maker or Ulead. Does Ulead not include any filtering? If not, the latest version of Ulead (now Corel) is X2. Download the trial version from www.download.com and see how you get on.
Remember though, you'll never get things perfect with poor source material.
