Premiere Elements 8 video looks bad when editing

hi -

 

i'm brand new premiere elements 8 - in fact installed on hp/compaq 6530b laptop running windows vista (32 bit).  initially, tried edit flip video (mpg4) , flip video converted avi.  have new canon vixia hf m31; regardless of video use, video editing window looks horrible.  there's "double image" - 1 on top heavy green , there's "double image" of video below looks better below green-shaded video (see inserted image below).  i'm wondering if it's issue laptop, since multiple video formats have same problem.  begin resolve this?

 

note: i've taken same video , looks fine windows movie maker (at least mpg4 - haven't tried vixia .mts video yet i'm guessing won't work movie maker).

 

thanks,

calvin
