Archicad 13 won't open at all

Anonymous

Hi

I have the educational version of Archicad 13, it was working perfectly until recently - I am not very knowledgable about computers and suspect that a program or component has been accidentally removed from my laptop to cause this problem, which is as follows:

When I click on the Archicad icon the initial screen comes up, the one with an image of a building, and then it freezes and nothing happens until I force the program to shut down. I have tried uninstalling and re-downloading/reinstalling both Archicad 13 and 14 but am having the same problem every time I try to open it.

My laptop is a Sony Vaio with 4GB of RAM, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor P8400 @ 2.26GHz 2.27 GHz. I am using Windows 7 - if more information is needed please let me know, as I said I'm not the most computer literate.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks again for those links, uninstalling and reinstalling my Quick Time solved the problem and Archicad is now working perfectly.
