I have Elements 14 and just purchased Elements 15. I run windows 10 and I am not able to start. It only goes to the message as attached. have tried to uninstall elements 14, re installed elements 15 about 5 times and remains the same issue.

This is sometimes caused by a component of free anti-virus or ad-aware software which may have been installed when bundled with another product update or browser add-on. Look for errors in the crash log by going to event viewer.

You may see something like:

Faulting module: LavasofTcpService64.dll

If so, remove the Lavasoft program and try launching Elements again. It may be listed as Web Companion.

  • -Go to the Windows Control Panel >> Programs (Uninstall a Program)
  • -Find and select Web Companion.
  • -Click Uninstall.

Thanks for the assistance but I have decided to remain with elements 14 for now and have been given a refund and a great service from Adobe.

Wish I could find how to get a refund.  I hate it when you can't actually speak to anyone
