Question

My Photoshop Elements 2022 launches, but not my Premiere Elements 2022

I was working on my Premiere Elements 2022 on 6-2-2023, that's today. It was working fine, until tonight. First I noticed that for some reason, when I tried to put text in the video, the palette where the text goes came up horizontal, as it should, but once I put the text on, it turned vertical. I tested my Premiere Elements 2023 (trial version), to see if the same thing happened, but it came up horizontal as it should. Then, I finished my editing, saved it, and tried opening Premiere Elements 2022 again, but it won't launch anymore. I tried restarting the computer, TWICE, but it didn't work. Can anybody tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it? I'm wondering if I inadverdently somehow changed a setting without realizing it. I don't think so, but I don't know.

 

I am using Windows 10.

I don't understand. Are you suggesting I go to the Windows Explorer  and open the EXE file from there? I don't want to install the program, and that is what it will do if I click on it.

The exe file is not the installer.  It is the PSE Editor program.

I'm not at my computer with 2022 on it now, but this is where it is for PSE 2018:

Can you open it directly from the exe file in Program Files?

Try holding down the ALT key while starting Premiere Elements.  That will reset any conflicting 'preferences' to factory defaults.

Bill Sprague,

I tried what you suggested. I kept the ALT key pressed while Premiere Elements 2022 loaded, and again it kept processing and then it didn't do anything.
