I was so close to finishing up a video for birthday coming up...I saved the project and when I came back to it I can't get past the "Windows Essentials 2012" screen.  The file won't open nor with Windows Movie Maker.

I am now facing a time crunch and can't even restart the project since the program won't open.

 

I've tired to "fix" windows essentials 2012 from the Uninstall programs/control panel and it has not worked.
