I use Elements 11 on a PC computer running Windows 10 64 bit.  I can no longer get the graphics, shapes, frames or any other type graphic listed under the graphics tab to show up.  Can someone tell me what might be wrong?

An idea that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10... works for some, not for others

-RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window

-or Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL Windows permissions may help... says Encore, but sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account)

-or more on permissions https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2293598

NOTE - Win10 anniversary update version 1607 has caused MAJOR problems with old programs, so the above may not work

It worked by running the program under the Windows 8 compatibility mode.  Thanks for your help!
