I have read that your error message can be due to corrupted dlls.
Did you have antivirus software disabled during the installation of PSE?
Adobe does offer telephone support for installation woes (legitimately purchased programs of course).
Try a global prefs reset: Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<your login>\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements [replacing <your login> appropriately] and rename the folder "3.0" to "3.old".

Reinstalled with anti virus off, still no joy…same as before, I’m becoming a little dejected now, I shall seek solice in a beer or three…thanks anyway, if you think of anything else please let me know… cheers John
The runtime library is part of the program. An assertion is an action taken by a program to check that all is as expected [with the system]. An assertion failure means that something [external to the program] is broken. Only the program’s developers can tell more.
I’d never come across this, "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library – Assertion Failed" before, and didn’t have a clue as to what was wrong. With what Colin has just said though, I think I’ll need to leave it there. I might see if I can install it on another computer, (if it’s something external to the program) & that is if I can find someone who will let me try it….
Thanks again for your help and interest, I’ll post back here if there are any more developments
