Fritzing will not open

You certainly have an unusual fault , sounds like you only get the splash screen (which indeed has a copyright and version message in the bar at the bottom) however there should be a small window below and separate from the splash window that says "loading" with a progress bar, and it sounds like that isn't starting. The only suggestions I have are try redoing the download of Fritzing and compare it to your current one (in case of a download error) and checking the Windows event log under applications and system to see if you see an error when Fritzing starts. It sounds like something is dying during startup but its unclear why.
