Adobe Elements 15 Unable to start correctly (0xc00007b) Application Error

I recently purchased Elements 15 and it loads, but I get this error report when I click on the icon to open it.  I have uninstalled it and reinstalled the software numerous times using the disc and have even downloaded the installation from Adobe's website, but still get this error.  I have spent a great deal of time searching the web and reading forums, but am still at a loss as to what to do.
