I have tried every post, fix and suggestion to repair my Windows Journal.
Please help with reinstallation. The Error message states:

Windows Journal cannot start.

There was an error intializing inking components. If this problem persists
after restarting, contact your system administrator.

I am at wits end!

Thank you.

Make sure you are logged in with administrator rights, then

start/run/cmd

then navigate to C:\Program Files\Windows Journal by;

CD "C:\Program Files\Windows Journal"

then type

journal.exe /repairnotewriter

Thank you Ms. Howard,

I have tried that a number of times. I still receive the same error message:

Windows Journal cannot start. There was an error initializing inking
components. If this problem persists after restarting, contact your system
administrator.

Unfortunately, that indicates an os component problem... the error you
are receiving is what I see when I tried to install journal on a non
tablet pc... more details please.
