I sincerely hope this is not redundant, but I have spent days on this forum looking for answers, but with no luck. I have seen many similar questions, but none of the 'fixes' proposed are relevant, or do not work for me.

History:

I have been running PrE-10 since its release, on Win-7(32-bit). I recently had a system crash after installing Windows-8 Beta and had to wipe my hard drive and start from scratch. This time I loaded Win-7 (x64). All my original apps I had stored on an external drive. Some re-installed, some not. I had to re-download PSE-10, and PrE-10 as 64-bit apps.

PSE-10 and the associated Organizer, work fine as before. PrE-10 however does not start. I get the splash screen, with the options of NEW, OPEN and Organizer. Of these, only Organizer opens. The other two options either bring up a Windows Error box 'Pre-10 has failed to start', or it just sits and does nothing.

It is not a system limitation as I have far more than the requirements needed to run it and as I said, it worked fine in the 32-bit version, and nothing else has changed (that I have input), so I am baffled.

As I said, I have done many of the proposed fixes I have seen on the forum, if they are pertinent to my system, and even some that were not. I have now completed the reinstallation of most of my applications, and so far only PrE is causing a problem, but it is very important to me as I am working on a project that requires it.

I have done a Belarc report, but I do not see a link to upload it. I see links for images, videos, tables and weblinks, but nothing for files (pdf). I will attempt to load it as an image and see if this works. I do not want to post it as text or HTML as it is 7 pages long! (Nope, it does not insert). Perhaps someone can tell me how to upload the file.
