Question asked on Sep 20, 2016

 

I had movie maker on my laptop computer but noticed that it did not have the sound recorder like some of the later versions. So I tried to install the newer version and then something did not work out.  I could not find movie maker on my system. When I tried to download windows essentials 2012 which includes the movie maker it suggested that I already had it on my system but I cannot find in program files or program (x86) files.

 

So then I went to this link below and followed the steps and got the sfc details.

From the sfc details, I gathered the problems files - Amd64\CNBJ2530.DPB

 

Then the next steps were to take ownership of the files and then replace them with files copied from another computer that has windows 8.1.

 

I have not yet been able to do the "take ownership" step as I tried many combinations of commands at the elevated command prompt but none has worked so far.

 

 

I also tried doing what was suggested in this link:

And I got this:

 

Error: 0x800f081f

 

The source files could not be found.

Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required t

o restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see

I am unable to proceed further. Please help.
