Shimano sports camera

Recently purchased a shimano sports camera to put on my bikes following a near death experience / road rage...involving the local nut job....
Camera works great ...great pics and sound etc yet....
Can view the video on the sd cards but when I load the Shimano Sports Camera Editor software....it imports the video to be edited etc but will not play any video, just sound and will not allow me to edit the clips...
All software / firmware is up to date
Running on a Windows 7 laptop( which is up to date )
Have tried with Internet security / firewall off but makes no difference - still no video..
Any ideas ????

Whats the spec of the laptop?
Ive got the same camera and problem, I've put it down to a lack of memory to "edit" it, but would be very interested if you get this resolved
Mine is a 2011 laptop with 4GB ram and a C2Q something in it now running Win10
I'm assuming you've happily played the videos in other software?
When playing in other software, does it play well, or do you get blockyness etc?
If i play in any sw i can't slow down, it craps out. Give it to VLC and slow to ~70% speed if on HD, or ~50% direct from the SD card.Intent on Cycling Commuting on a budget, but keep on breaking/crashing/finding nice stuff to buy.

PS - Suggested spec is
Windows
Type: Laptop
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit edition
Processor: Intel Core i7-3820QM (Quad-core/2.70 GHz rating/8-MB L3 cache)
Main memory: 16 GB DDR3 (PC3-12800/8 GB x 2/Dual channel)

Are you running x64 or x32?
If x64, it seems to need this: https://slimdx.org/download.php

Windows 7 , 6 gb ram, 256 gb memory available ,,Intel i5 processor
Video plays ok when opened using Windows media player etc0 -

As your pc isn't the minimum specifications with 16GB ram, probably not, no.
Equally, as it's a laptop, whats the graphics card in the laptop? Dedicated, or the i5 embedded stuff?

I know importing stuff to the Go Pro suite is massively awkward and creates huge file sizes.
If you're not doing anything too flash - then you can do very basic editing with Youtube.0 -
Nope - my lap top has an Ati Radeon graphics card - i5 processor and 6gb ram .... really surprised that the Shimano software won't run yet my wife runs a full pro package photo rendering software which processes very hi def images without any issues yet I can't get the Shimano software to run with the camera on its lowest resolution0

Interesting consideration - I'm ATI as well, but the desktop is an ATI card and that runs it fine, despite being significantly older - ATI HD4830 I think , but running Win 7 x64. Yes its slow, but it works ok
What generation ATI is the laptop's card - possible we've found the issue.Intent on Cycling Commuting on a budget, but keep on breaking/crashing/finding nice stuff to buy.

I've done handbrake converting of the video before, and then used dashcamware (I think) to overlay the ANT+ details. But considering all I really want is to cut out 3 minutes of video &speed some bits up/slow some down, its' a complete nause.
At lease Adobe Premier works well for the basic editing.Intent on Cycling Commuting on a budget, but keep on breaking/crashing/finding nice stuff to buy.
