I used Premiere 2010 for years, started to have driver issues and could not preview the videos when editing them, video window went black but I could here the sound.  Decided perhaps I should get the latest version which I did purchase.  I can open the program, but when I try to add video files to the storyboard it gives me the same pop up error as written above.  I tried many files at first then went down to just one file to add, same error, any suggestions?

    To work this out, it will take a detailed description of your computer, camera and the files.

    Try turning off Hardware acceleration in the Preferences > General Panel.  Then start a new project and try adding the media again.
