If you edit the prefs.ini in your My Games\Elemental folder and change SkipIntro=0 to SkipIntro=1, does that bypass the crash?

Yei ... Solved ... ran as admin manually (not from admin elevated impulse) and it started :) .. but on the other hand 2 previous versions started just fine from Impulse with default setting

That's very interesting.  Running as Admin worked for me as well.
