My Premier elements 12 will not start. When you click on 'Video editor', New project all I get is the Stripe bar underneath running but nothing else happens and the program will not start.
I have tried reinstalling the program form the DVD but still get the same result.
Please help.
Regards Graham

Is your video driver up to date?

I'm with Bob. Version 12 had an especially bad conflict with nVidia graphics drivers.
Assuming you've got an nVidia graphics card, go to the nVidia site and ensure you have the latest drivers. This fixes it with most versions of the program -- though, as I've said, version 12 had a particularly tough conflict with the nVidia drivers.

I have this problem now (2021). I have installed the latest nVidia driver and it made no difference

There are always two "latest" Nvidia drivers. One is for games and one is for 'studio' work. If that doesn't work, try picking an older one from the Nvidia sight.

Do you have any recommendations as to which version?

Trial and error.
Just go down the list.

Use System Restore and check which driver worked.
