Question

Premiere elements 10 Very slow to load

I have been using Premiere 10 for quite some time with no problems. How ever after not loading the program for a period I now find it ts very slow to load after the initial welcome screen ( up to 5 minutes or more.)

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling  and updated graphics card from AMD website.

My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Graphics card AMD Radeon HD5450

I have looked discussions relative to Premiere Elements problems but nothing appears to address this very slow loading problem.

I would be pleased if any one can help.

Robert

    The processor is a bit underpowered. I usually recommend a minimum rating of 6,500-8,000.

    Your Q8300 rates a 2,900.

    That may or may not be the cause of your issue, but it's definitely a contributing factor. As well as your very old program and operating system.

    What size is your hard drive and how much free space is available? Is it a SSD or HDD?

    How much RAM do you have?

    The Dell Inspiron 560 I see online runs a Pentium E6700 processor. Is that what you have? If so, that processor rates a 1,900 in benchmark tests. In my books, I usually recommend a rating of 6,500-8,000 for video editing.

    Though it's hard to say, since you're using such an old version of the program (32-bit software) on such an old operating system. It could just be that the drivers have so out-paced the software that it just can't launch it like it used to.

    I assume you've cleaned your registry and run disk cleanup. Computers can accumulate a lot of extra baggage in 8 years.
