Premiere Elements 13 won't launch in Windows 8.1 (Click the icon and nothing happens)

I'm running the trial version of Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64-bit. It's a brand new PC built for video editing. Everything worked perfectly for about a week and all of a sudden I'm unable to start the program. I click the icon and nothing happens. No splash screen, no error code, no spinning circle cursor.
I have the latest video card drivers for my graphics card.
I've tried uninstalling the program, removed every last Adobe file from my PC, uninstalled all instances of Microsoft Visual C++ and reinstalled Adobe Premiere Elements 13. I tried the same with a fresh download of the program. Neither worked.
I've tried installing a couple .dll files based on a similar thread (where a program called iLivid was the issue). I don't have iLivid on this PC and adding the new drivers didn't work.
For the few days that the software was working I loved it and was ready to purchase. Unfortunately I won't be able to buy it until I can get it to launch on my PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

My major problem was with the reliability of the uninstall reinstall of Premiere Elements 12 Windows. I did not encounter any issues in this regard with 11. And, I have only looked at the 30 day tryout of 13 from Adobe. My computers are Windows XP 32 bit, Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8 and later 8.1 64 bit. The following describes what got me through the worse of these hassels.

I am not sure if the above will work for you with 13. But, it would be worthwhile to check them out.
Since you are dealing with current version 13, it might be a good idea to get Adobe via its Adobe Chat involved, with the hope of some remote control of your computer troubleshooting to try to get to the core of the issue. Chat Panels have been hard to come by for some of these issues, but let us try this route.
Please click on the following link
Contact Customer Care
Premiere Elements
Adobe ID and signing in
Adobe ID, sign in, and account help
Chat Panel
If the link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
Depending on the outcome....if you purchased Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe direct within the last 30 days, you can request your
money back from Adobe. If you purchased elsewhere, then you are left to deal with the return policy of the seller.
We will be watching for further developments.

  • HT1653 I am running Windows Vista and up to now I-Tines has worked but today it refuses to open - I click the icon and nothing happens - how do I fix this ??

    Hi - for a year or more IThunes has been fine with Vista on my machine - today no matter what I do I can't open it - I am guessing something that has been upgraded is now causing a compatibility issue. Anyone know how to fix ?
    Thanks.

  • After installing 3.6 FF won't open even in the safe mode, I click on the icon and nothing happens at all

    I installed 3.6 and now FF won't open even in the safe mode. I restored my computer setting back to where I was running 3.5.13 but it still doesn't work...some files must have been deleted when I upgraded that weren't put back even when going back to the older version but I have no idea what to look for or what to do even if I find them. Can you please help me?

    Using system restore can create problems as well as solving them. I have seen system restore destroy a Firefox setup. The installation may be OK but to be sure perform a clean install
    # [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox Uninstall Firefox]
    # Delete the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory Installation directory], default location C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    # Download the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com/ and install it
    If Firefox still does not start, try creating a new profile folder. Firefox stores user data in a profile folder, creating a new profile will show if the problem is with the old profile. For how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows creating a new Firefox profile on Windows].
    If the new profile works, you can copy selected data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. For details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transferring data to a new profile]. Do not copy the preferences file, and it is best to re-install any add-ons.

  • Itunes store suddenly won't let me buy music - I click on "buy" and nothing happens

    Up until today for some reason I cannot purchase music from Itunes. I logged in this morning and added a giftcard I was given and also updated my card details as my card had expired. I click on any other link in itunes so for instance to hear a sample of a song, but when I click "buy" absolutely nothing happens. I have checked that current itunes is updated which it is, however it is not the latest version as my software does not support the latest version - but this shouldn't affect my ability to purchase music, as my parents have an older mac computer and are still able to purchase. I have not therefore updated any software today as I am up to date as far as I can be on this computer. It was working fine a couple of weeks ago when I made some purchases - I have no idea why it is not working now? Perhaps Itunes itself is having problems?
    Any suggestions?
    Help much appreciated

    AlexCarey, I've been having issues purchasing recently and place a number of calls to the support team. On Oct. 5th, and on my own decision, I went into my itunes profile and re-entered my credit card expiration date and security code. (Notice, it is not displayed for safety measures.) Today, I received an email from Apple support verifying if I made changes made to my account. For the heck of it, I logged back into itunes; click "Buy". It's working again after three days of failure. However, diagnosis still displays "Secure link to itunes store failed". Very confusing state of affairs, lately. See my post on "Itunes dilemma"

  • Firefox always opens a new window when i click the icon on my task bar...this is new and I would like it to say in the same window How?

    I have a firefox icon on my task bar. Before this latest install, I would click the icon and Firefox would come up directly. Now it opens another firefox window. I don't want this. How can I change it back?

    Click on the spotlight icon in the top right of your screen (looks like a magnifying glass), type
    Terminal
    and press 'return'.
    In the window that opens up, paste or type this exactly into the window
    killall Finder; killall Dock
    (that's case sensitive) and press 'return'.
    You'll notice the Dock disappear for a second or two then return, as do any open Finder windows.
    Test using Finder as normal. Same problem?

  • I have an email that is sent but won't disappear from my screen. I push cancel and nothing happens. I can't get back to my accounts. What do I do ?

    I have an email that won't disappear from my screen.
    I push cancel and nothing happens.
    I can see my accounts "behind" the email but I can't access them.
    I have turned machine off and on again.
    What else?

    Go back to your homescreen, then completely close down your mail app by double clicking the home button to open the multi-tasking bar. Hold your finger on the mail app icon and then click the red circle that appears on the left of the icon.
    Once you have done that, reopen the mail app and you should be sorted.

    I downloaded OS X 10.9.5 and when I attempt to load the program from OS X 10.7.5 I click on the install icon and nothing happens. How do I install the upgrade? Can I upgrade from Lion to Mavericks? Here are my specs:
    Sounds like you downloaded the OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 Update or Combo Update. Neither will work on a version of OS X prior to OS X Mavericks. Those are only used to update an existing install of OS X Mavericks. The Combo will update any version from 10.9.0 thru 10.9.4. The Update will only update version 10.9.4.
    You need the full installer of OS X Mavericks from the App Store. However, the App Store no longer offers OS X Mavericks. Yosemite is the new FREE OS X.

  • Why can I not use Premiere Elements 12 on PC with Windows 8.1 when the vidio is done with the same software on a PC with Windows 7?

    I have made a Video on one PC with Premiere Emements 12 and want to continue on a PC with the same Premiere Elements 12 on and Windows 8.1. The systen wants other Codec.
    What can I do?
    By the way with Magix is it possible to work on both PC.

    How did you go about transferring the Premiere Elements 12 project on Windows 7 64 bit to Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
    Therein is what I believe is your problem. You in all likelihood do not have a codec problem of any kind, rather Premiere Elements 12 project on Windows 8.1 64 bit with disconnect between it source media and the project file. Here is how it goes.
    When you import a file into Premiere Elements project, what you have in Premiere Elements is a copy of the original which is still at its hard drive save location. But the project must trace back to that original on its hard drive save location.
    You may have the project.prel (project file) opening in Premiere Elements 12 on the second computer, but what I suspect to be the case is that you do not have the project media on that second computer.
    If so....On the first computer, archive the project with File Menu/Project Archiver and its Copy Project option. Transfer the resulting saved Copied Folder to a USB Flash Drive which will be used to transfer the Copied Folder to the second computer. In the second computer, open the Copied Folder, right click the project.prel file in the Copied Folder, select Open With, and then Premiere Elements 12.
    Did you set up disc menu in the Premiere Elements 12 Windows 7 64 bit project?
    Please review and consider the above and let us know if any or all of that applies to your situation.
    Thank you.

  • Received sync verification email at my aol account, but when I click the verify button, nothing happens. I can't copy the url: aol won't let me. Now what?

    Just downloaded firefox for the first time. I'm stuck on the verify step of the sync process.
    I'm using aol desktop software on Windows 7. AOL won't let me copy the url behind the verify button to another browser, and it won't open the firefox accounts window when I click on verify (the tab opens, but the window stays blank....refresh does not help). I'm stuck.
    I do not use outlook on this computer.

    This is happening to me too. Every time I try to resend the verification email it does not work either. I am filing a bug.

  • After starting up Windows I double click the Firefox icon and nothing happens. So I have to double click Firefox again and it opens. But now I have 2 open Firefox browsers. What do think makes this happen?

    I always have to click on Firefox twice in order for it to open because nothing happens on the first try. The first try never ever works.

    I understand that Firefox is no longer working on your Windows Tablet. The development of Metro did stop and has been discontinued. However what version were you on before this started to happen?

    Hello,
    Something on Windows is preventing Organizer to initialize.
    A clean boot would allow to disable third party services and applications that start up with Windows.
    Try launching Organizer. If it is working, a service or application was causing the issue.
    Reactivate services/applications by group to find the culprit

  • My iTunes won't even load anymore, when I click the icon, it looks like it will open and then it doesn't. Please Help!

    iTunes will not open at all. It looks like it will and then it doesn't (the windows loading symbol appears and then it disappears). I even tried uninstalling iTunes and downloading it again and installing it, nothing works! Please Help!

    1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Info.lib file:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    3.  If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime.  START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REAPIR.
