Hello,  iv downloaded from Adobe a copy of Elements premiere19 (iv also tried Premiere 18) installed it and it's run through the unzip and install smoothly. Then it closes,  no trial page/activation page.  when I double click on the desktop icon (or the icon in the program folder), I get a spinning circle for 5-7 seconds and that's all.
iv tried reinstalling, updating drivers, clearing hard drive, antivirus off/on even safe mode. now after 4 days of headache and running out of hair!
I'm asking for help.

I'm using a HP Pavilion G7-2235DX AMD A8-4500M X4 1.9GHz
8GB Ram
1TB Sata
Windows 8.1 v6.3

i just can't get the software to open.
many thanks in advance.
Charlie

    Charlie,

    You are using a very old Windows OS, and that would be the first suspect in the problems you're encountering. Is there any way you can upgrade your OS?

    Hi Bill,

    Thanks for the reply. I haven't thought about the operating system as I have PE18 installed and working on my wife's hp lap top that is older and running Windows 7, it's slow but working fine. That's why I desided to install it on my laptop.

    Do I really have to upgrade to Windows 10?
