There is a known compatibility issue of Embird and Trend Micro. Trend Micro blocks starting of some Embird versions without displaying any warning message. Solution in such a case is to add Embird (embird.exe) and Digitizing Tools (digitiz.exe) files on exception list of Trend Micro. Afterall, this is the purpose of exception lists. Install Embird first and then run Embird. If it doesn't start, please do the following:
1. Open Trend Micro main console and click on Settings icon.
