Windows becomes unresponsive

[tpmcfadden]

I am trying to install Adobe Premiere Elements 13.  File seems to download okay, but when I click on the executable, the program gets hung up.  (Windows message: "non-responsive".)

I've tried this a number of times, rebooted, etc. and have had no success.
