On what computer operating system are you running Premiere Elements 11? For now I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
What computer operating system is involved in your issue. Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit or Mac?
If Mac, then my paths are not applicable. And, neither is the Adobe link (Windows) link that I posted.

I'm just going to upload it to one of my Mac's and do my video mixing there.
Just in case note, if you are using a Windows computer, Premiere Elements Windows is not going to install
on a Mac computer (unless you have a Windows Mac combo of some kind).
Be advised that this is not Adobe. Rather User to User.
The suggestions that I offered for what you presented are not unreasonable for a Premiere Elements on a Windows computer with the type of issue that you present.. And, most are included in Adobe documents on such matters.
The above is meant as an clarification for what I posted and why. I want you to succeed.
