If Cyberlink's software worked when your PC was new, it should work after a system recovery back to factory conditions. So it might be time to contact HP's customer service and ask why it doesn't work (assuming you did the system recovery according to HP's instructions, of course).
Anyway, sothink on /www.sothink.com/ doesn't seem to have a video editor anymore. That's why it makes sense to make a backup copy of the installer program of all software you downloaded and installed (and the license key). Then you can always install it again, if you can't find it anymore on the web (of course, it's better to install the latest version if there is one on the web). Just a tip.
I'll leave it to others to recommend software. But maybe you're happy with http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/test-centre/photo-video/3512375/14-best-free-video-editing-software-2015-uk/ already?

I have an HP Pavillion P6823w desktop running Win 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 and had to have a system recovery done on my computer.
I was using Cyberlink's Power Director to edit my JVC camcorder footage, but after the recovery it won't allow me to edit the audio portion of the footage, it is greyed out.
I have been corresponding with Cyberlink's techs and they suggest an upgrade to a higher version of PD.
I also had Sothink video editing download on my computer but don't see it as a download here.
Is there a free download that would allow me to edit the audio as well as video? There is wind noise that I want to remove and just all around trimming as you are able to do with the video.
Thanks
