Question

Help! Source videos won't show video only audio

I previously had Premiere Elements 12.  I didn't use it much, but I had been able to drag videos into it, assemble final videos, etc.  Then, for some reason, the video stopped working.  If I dragged a video file into the timeline and hit play, I'd just see gray and hear the audio.  If I double-clicked the video to just play the source, I got the same result.

I decided to upgrade it, hoping maybe just the installation of Elements 2019 would solve the problem.  No suck luck.  I still get a gray box and hear the audio.

If I open the video in organizer, I get the same thing.

I should stress: I've tried numerous source videos from all over my hard drive, in varying formats. I've tried MP4s, AVIs, etc. 

My videos play in other players; it's just the Adobe Premiere Elements and Organizer that do it. 

Any clues on where to begin debugging this?

    Without know more about your computer, operating system and video files, I would have to guess there is a graphics driver conflict.  Second guess would be audio setting in Preferences. 

    Those are just guesses.  Can you provide more information?

    I can only find drivers for GeForce 7900 GS for Windows 7, not Windows 10.
