Premiere Elements 12 won't start

My Premier elements 12 will not start. When you click on 'Video editor', New project all I get is the Stripe bar underneath running but nothing else happens and the program will not start.

I have tried reinstalling the program form the DVD but still get the same result.

Please help.

Regards Graham

    Is your video driver up to date?

    I'm with Bob. Version 12 had an especially bad conflict with nVidia graphics drivers.

    Assuming you've got an nVidia graphics card, go to the nVidia site and ensure you have the latest drivers. This fixes it with most versions of the program -- though, as I've said, version 12 had a particularly tough conflict with the nVidia drivers.
