Just installed Adobe Premiere Elements 10 - Crashes upon opening a new Project

Question

I've just installed Adobe Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10 on one of our marketing user's PC, and while Photoshop works like a charm, Premiere Elements 10 crashes every time you try to create a new project.  I have done a total uninstall and reinstall, but get the same results.  Here is the crash report generated by Windows (7 Pro x64)

Answer 1

Thank you for trying to help, Bill.
I had read about the fingerprint problem in the forums and deactivated that before my first post.
I am reasonably proficient with CS6 web/design, but I don't have a lot of tech knowledge.
While working today, I had trouble with Acrobat X and had to uninstall/reinstall.  I have done more restarts in the last 36 hours!
I uninstalled/reinstalled PrE ... in case something that I had done had helped!  Organizer opens but not PrE.
I will put the EventViewer stuff at the end of the post.  I didn't know there was an EventViewer until today!
It says something about PCI bus.  I went to control panel, etc., devices and there were two instances of PCI bus.  I asked Windows to update the driver for both and got a message that it had the most up to date driver.  Also indicated they were working properly.  When I sent the link at the bottom of the EventViewer info to Windows, I got a screen saying it was an unknown error.
I bought PrE on Saturday ... to replace NERO.  I thought it would be more consistent with the other programs I use, but maybe I should cut my losses and go back to NERO???  What do you think?
I really do appreciate the help.
