PSE with Vista 64 bit HELP PLEASE!!

[gilchristtd]

I am new to this forum and stumbled across it while searching for a solution to my problem. I have read a lot of conflicting posts so I'm not really sure what to do. I tried to install PSE 7 (2X) on my new HP desktop (6 GB with Vista Home Premium 64 bit). It seemed to install fine, however won't launch. When I try to open it from the desktop icon or off of the c drive - program file i get a messge that reads "MISSING SHORTCUT - Windows is searching for photoshop elements 7.0 exe to locate the file yourself click browse" I would really appreciate any help anyone can offer. I only have 2 weks to decide if I want to keep this computer. PSE is the main program that I run on it. Be gentle with me - I am not completely computer illiterate however some of the lingo is sometimes a little puzzling to me.
Thanks in Advance
Tracy

Thanks for your quick response. I tried that and got the same message. I can open the c drive and go into adobe folder and all the contents are there. however i can't see the exe file - which to my understanding is what i need. Any other thots? I have loaded this succesfully onto a previous laptop and have had no problems with it.

Look in C:\Program Files(x86) for it or C:\Program Files.
