New motherboard - Movie Studio will not start

I posted this message a moment ago, but for some reason it went to the Vegas Pro Forum, rather than the Movie Studio Board. I apologize for double posting the same message!

My motherboard died and I installed a new motherboard and CPU.

I am using Windows 7 - 64bit and have Movie Studio 12 platinum (32 and 64bit) and Movie Studio 13 Platinum - 64bit installed along with DVDA and Sound Forge. I have been able to get everything on the computer to run except the three versions of Movie Studio. I had to re-register DVDA, but then it started with no problem.

All three versions of Movie Studio were working before the Motherboard died.

I have tried starting Movie Studio regularly, and as Administrator, and I have tried starting them with Control/Shift, but all I get is a momentary twirl of a blue circle and no other action.

I have also gone into File Explorer and double clicked on the appropriate EXE file, but again, nothing happens.

The new Motherboard is an Asus Z97 Deluxe, and the CPU is an Intel Core i7-4790K.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks to the quick response by Peter Duke on the PRO forum I am back up and running with the 64 bit versions of Movie Studio 12 and 13. MS 12-32bit is hanging when it tries to initialize DirectX plug-ins, but I'm not using that version right now anyway.

What I did was uninstall and clean my drives and registry, then re-install. Afterwards, I had to re-register everything and now am in the process of setting up all my pre-sets.

So, sorry to have cluttered the forum but I've lost a couple of weeks of important work and had panicked.
