Thank you for the response, Derek.

That makes sense, it very well could be a shared plugin issue with other Sony apps, although I haven’t installed any aside from ones that install with Movie Studio. It looks like I’ll be doing the same as you, and leaving the old version behind.

During install-

“Same or higher version of .NET Framework 4 has already been installed on this computer.”

.Net Framework 3.5.1 is required for Movie Studio 11. Windows 7 includes .Net Framework 3.5.1 by default. In control panel, that is a windows feature I can turn on or off. Disabling, restarting and turning that feature back on is supposedly the same as reinstalling it. I have tried that and it didn’t help. I did try to launch it with the 3.5.1 framework disabled, hoping to at least see a “this application requires .net framework…” type error message. Not even that will come up.

Also, I should mention that I have tried an older build of Movie Studio 11 that came on the disc. I have tried the newest version available online and the older one with the same result, load icon for a split second, then nothing.

It is tough to troubleshoot without an error message.

Thanks for the reply Dave.

I don’t have any antivirus software installed. That said, it isn’t a malware problem preventing the program from launching. I got a new hard drive and reinstalled windows and all my programs recently. After doing so, Movie Studio 11 has not worked once.

There are no other user accounts, I do have admin privileges.
