When trying to boot the app, I get this message. Camtasia is the only program I have notice this on. It started out of the blue. Been using for years without a hitch. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Which Windows version?  What drives are on the system? What application and how do you launch it? Have you recently changed a drive letter in disk manager? How was the software installed (for all users?)? What's your user name, and how many user names are installed?

Give this a try to test.

Navigate to the Camtasia folder.
C:\Program Files\TechSmith\Camtasia 9

Double click on the CamtasiaStudio.exe and see if the program starts.

If so create new shortcut(s) and you should be good

If not try a "Repair install" or a Re-install.

You are 3+ years out of date, current is v.1809, build 17763.316 I HIGHLY recommend you update windows - in fact you are so far out-of-date, it may be easier and quicker to just re-install to 1809 directly.

Thank you. I will try updating windows. However, I have done all the other things you suggested. I have run the repair and the new install of Camtasia a couple of times, and I have tried opening from the app and not the shortcut. Nothing seems to work. Also, this is the only application I am having trouble with. I am wondering if there are resources that might have been damaged and are not replaced during the reinstall?

Stephen - Microsoft has a way of punishing users who don't pay attention to "business".  Along the way, you've missed a dozen or more critical updates since  1503  (& you're not even there yet) which if memory serves me right was their publicly available version. You were one the early interested users who got to play for almost a year before everyone else did. I did it for the free OS! 
So back-up everything you must and let MS help you:

Good luck !! (It'll be like having a new computer.)
