Nik Demo doesn't work

Hello,
I downloaded and installed the Nik suite into LR5 (running on Win7) and the only things that work are the the two sharpening plug-ins and Define. The others load normally but all I get is the interface with no image. Has anybody else had this problem? I've uninstalled the package and re-installed it with the same results.

I had exactly the same problem. My old computer did not have enough memory. New computer, problem solved, works like a charm.

You did have an image open, didn't you?

I've had good luck with NIK with the exception of the HDR. It doesn't show up in PSE 11 but it is in LR3.

Yeah, they say on the website that the HDR filter will not work with any version of PSE. Needs LR or PS CS4+

On my computer NIk shows up in Elements on the FILTER drop down menu....

Yes , 5 of the components are in filters on PSE11 but not the HDR.

You are correct. Just checked after my last post

Yes, I had an image open. I've got plenty of RAM. I find it odd that a couple of the plug-ins work, while others do not.
The plug-in creates the .tiff copy and opens but all I get is a blank canvass. I've tried both 8 and 16 bit and srgb and adobe color spaces.

Problem solved!
I had to disable the GPU (graphics processing unit) on my video card. Now they all work great.
Thanks to all that replied.
