I have just recently downloaded and installed the Windows Essentials 2012 but limited it to the Photo Viewer and Movie Maker only. I can't seem to locate it. I'm certain that it was successfully installed since i can look it up at the installed programs (Control Panel/uninstall program). I have Windows 8.1 64-bit and my laptop meets the system requirements for the installation. I'm not very good with this new OS, as i'm pretty attached to my old Windows 7 which i don't have access to at the moment. LOL. so yeah, i'd be very happy if you could help me. thanks!
