Last year I bought a computer with Adobe Premiere Elements 14 and Photoshop already installed. I use these weekly but today I kept getting an error popping up when I try use the Premiere Elements. The Photoshop has no problem. The message that pops up is:

C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe/AdobePremiereElements14/SCQuick.sc is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc0000020.

I have been trying all day and am frustrated. I would appreciate some help. Thank you.

I had the same error, and this video was able to solve my issue perfectly! The video says it's for Photoshop

Elements, but it worked for me and Premiere:

I just got this error message that seems related.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks.

I too have just encountered this (or at least, something very similar).  After happily using PSE 13 on windows 10 recently, it suddenly wouldn't start this morning.  The editor is fine but the organiser won't start.  After poking around I found that one of the files SSLEAY32.dll was zero sized and prevented the organizer from starting.

As the windows error message suggested I simply uninstalled and reinstalled and now it's all working again.  I didn't lose any pictures or other settings so it wasn't too painful, but you do have to find that DVD that you haven't used for a couple of years.  Not ideal.

It sounds like it may need a re-install. Totally remove the current PRE and re-install to correct a bad image.

@williebegoode HOW? (do I re-install it) I had this same problem with Premiere Pro CC 2018, and I pressed uninstall in creative cloud, then re-installed it. Still having the problem.

I have exactly the same error message just suddenly preventing premiere elements 14 from opening.  I have been running the programme without problems for 15 months up until yesterday.  What could have happened overnight???  Can anyone help?  thanks

You don't say what operating system you're using, but that could be important. Especially if it's something other than Windows 10 64-bit.

I'm having no problems opening and running Premiere Elements 14 on my Windows 10 computer.

I have Windows 10. I have had this computer for a year and have been consistently using Premiere. It was working beginning of the week and suddenly not yesterday.
