Cannot Open Elements 10 after closing it

i installed elements 10 (costco version) today.  operating system windows 7.  after installing, opened program , moved around , tried different things see how works.  closed it.  15 minutes later, tried reopen elements 10 double-clicking icon on desk top not open.  have tried several times, , not open @ all.  tried trouble shooting, of no help.  suggestions?  thanks

bypass unwelcome screen creating desktop shortcuts organizer , editor, , restarting computer.

 

the editor's executable is:

"c:\program files (x86)\adobe\photoshop elements 10\photoshopelementseditor.exe"

 

the organizer's executable is:

"c:\program files (x86)\adobe\elements 10 organizer\photoshopelementsorganizer.exe"

 

the unwelcome screen leaves zombie process running prevents actual program launching again.
