I have never had any trouble with PD 8 opening until the past few days. I keep a PD 8 icon pinned to my taskbar and over the past few days, when I click on it to open PD 8, nothing happens. If I restart my computer then it works fine for a while but eventually it again will not open and I have to restart Windows. I have not changed anything within PD. Maybe it's a Windows problem? I do add programs from time to time but I can't put my finger on anything I did that may have caused this problem. I went to the .exe file in my program files and trying to open from there does not work either. Any ideas about what could have gone wrong here? I realize it may be difficult to track down as it may an issue with my Windows and not a PD issue. Redwing Roger

Check your video drivers for updates.
Check Quicktime for an update.

Maybe even check if your BIOS has an later version.

Check your microsoft updates, you may have gotten a bad one. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.
