How do you fix a window frame rattling in the wall?

Especially in strong winds, the whole frame creaks back and forth in the wall and I am concerned that someday it'll shatter. I plugged the gaps between the frame and wall both inside and out with sealant but it's still moving, any ideas what I should try next?

It needs dismantling and extra frame fixings added.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

Oh, and then it needs reassembling!

Yikes that's a far bigger job than I thought it'd be

It's not a massive job, take out the snap-in beading, remove the glass unit - fix a couple of frame screws and reassemble.
Local fitter/company will do it quite reasonably.
