Hi Bud -
I purchased it yesterday, and have not had a problem yet, other than having to install the Motion Graphic Pack a second time for it to show up in the Element folders.
That said, my frame of reference (hardware anyway) is different, since I'm running Element on a quad core PC with 8GB of RAM - I thought it would be a bit weak for CS6 and Element, but it is working quite well.
Have you logged on to the support site yet? There are a lot of people weighing in on the successes and problems - there may be one who shares your problem. Sorry I can't suggest specific help.
