Elements Crashing - Windows 7

I have a very new Compaq laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. I tried using my Elements 5 but it kept crashing - even after running compatibility modes for XP Service Pack 2 and 3.
So then I tried my CS1 but that didn't work either. Crashed even more frequently and almost as soon as I'd open the program.
So I purchased Elements 8 - thinking that maybe if I had the right version for Windows 7 - I'd be good to go. No luck. It crashes too!
In all versions, I'm working in Full Edit, taking PSD files and cropping, resizing, etc to save into JPEG so I can put them in a photobook.
I've looked at some of the previous posts but haven't found the magic bullet yet - and I thought it interesting that all 3 versions were crashing on the same computer.
BTW - Elements 5 is working just fine on my Compaq desktop running Windows 7 64 bit. That makes no sense to me at all.
Thanks for any help!

Thanks! I first tried adding my network printer (since the laptop had no printer on it) but that
didn't fix the problem. So I did the second thing - and went in to change the name on the Twain. Went
back into elements and have been working for about 5 minutes with no problem. 5 minutes is good since
it was crashing within about a minute before. Will continue to work and see what happens. So I think my
question has been answered! If something goes wrong, I'll revisit this.
Thanks again!!

Please Help

When you begin a new project, you'll see a button for the project settings on the new project option screen.
When you click this, you'll be taken to a list of project presets. Your successful use of the program depends very much on your choosing the right one for your camcorder.
As I say, there is one that is specifically designed for working with JVC GZ cams. I believe you'll find it in the Hard Drive/Flash Drive set.

Pls help - Photoshop Elements crashes when switching media types

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help. I just installed Photoshop Elements 7 and Premiere Elements 7 on a brand new HP Pavilion system running Vista, 9 GB of RAM. I then imported a catalog with ~18,000 photos and tags from Photoshop Elements v6 via backup from original system and restore to new HP system. Worked like a charm. Now I have the catalog open, and when I click on "View -> Media types -> anything else (Video, PDF, whatever)" irrespective of what I select, Photoshop Elements crashes. The error message states, "Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Organizer) has stopped working. A problem cause the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Note this also happens when I use Ctrl-1 or other shortcuts.
Has anyone else seen this? I literally powered up the HP today, and loaded Elements and Premiere today, so it's not likely due to old software (eg I did not install Photoshop Elements 6).
Thanks all!
Ed

Please delete the folder C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\8.0\Organizer and relaunch to see if the problem vanishes.

Elements crashing when in Organizer

A friend who is a PC user using elements 9 is having problems with Elements crashing.
They had moved some files in the filesystem in a way that elements was no longer able to print them and when I tried to help them run a reconnect it gets stuck on the reconnect select box.
It has also been crashing at other times for them.
What are ways to fix crashing like this?
Is it a corrupt catalog?
What are the workarounds?
Thanks!

This happens when photos are moved or deleted from system folders. Always use Organizer and the catalog will stay tidy. It’s probably best to start over with a new catalog.
Open PSE9 Organizer.
On the top menu click File à Catalog
Then click the New button
Enter a different name e.g. My Catalog2
Leave the box checked “Import free Music into this Catalog”
Then click OK.
When the new browser window opens it will be blank.
Click File à Get Photos & Videos à From Files & Folders
Navigate to My Pictures and hold down the Ctrl key and press the letter A on the keyboard (to select all)
Click Get media or Open.
Wait for Organizer to generate thumbnails.

Why is Elements crashing Upon start-up?

Hello. I am using Photoshop Elements 2 for Macs with a G5 PowerPC iMac and OS 10.4.11. I've been using Elements for several years without a problem.I recently re-installed my OS from OS 10.4.9 to OS 10.4.11 and then reinstalled Elements. At the end of the Elements installation........a message comes up saying that installation was successfull.I then double click on the Photoshop icon in Applications to open it up.The "Photoshop "Splash Screen" comes up and about half way through loading up .......Elements crashes on me......a message says........"The Application Photoshop Elements" unexpectedly quit". The same thing happens if I try again.I've tried repairing permissions, and re-installing but no luck. Also tried trashing the preference file. I'm not sure what else to try.......can't think of any other reason it should'nt work. I'd appreciate if anyone has any suggestions or solutions. Thanks. P.S.-I also have Adobe Aftereffects installed. Was wondering if there could be any conflict between the startup files of these 2 Adobe products.

Maybe I should also mention that after it crashes........a window comes up labeled as"Problem Report For Photoshop Elements" that lists alot of information I don't understand such as"Thread crashed" info, "Binary images description" info, etc.I'm attaching a sample of some of this info. to this message.

Premiere Pro & Premiere Elements Crash When Open Together?

Anyone have a problem with Premiere Pro & Premiere Elements crashing when open together?

Both crash fairly quickly when open together.

Thanks!

The first thiing that comes to my mind is a resources issue. As you have a stout computer, with more than adequate RAM, unless something is failing (like a stick of RAM), or perhaps the GPU, I would not expect to see what you observe. On a much less powerful machine, I have no problem running PrPro, Encore, Photoshop, Illustrator, and a word processor, all at the same time.
I would look into this ARTICLE, which starts with some general tips on setting up one's computer for running PrE, and then goes into system and OS tune-up tips (this is probably where I would start, if the intitial checklist looks OK), and then goes into troubleshooting. I would definitely look here, and especially using Event Viewer to try and track down what is happening, when the crashes occur, and also the one on tools to test RAM, GPU's, etc.).
Good luck,

Photoshop Elements crash when I want to send a photo-email

Hello, when I want to send photo-email then photoshop elements crash. What can I do?

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
Which version of Photoshop Elements are you using?
If you are on a Windows system, use Windows Explorer to locate the actual organizer - should be somewhere like this
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
If you are on a 32 bit system, omit the (x86) part.
Right click on that file and choose "Run as Administrator" - then try the email.
You need only do this once, you should be able to load normally after that.
If you still have problems please gives us details of which step it fails at.

Is there a way to play flv & mkv file formats through media element in windows 8.1 app ?

i am trying to develop a video player so i just thought Is there a way to play flv & mkv file formats through media element in windows 8.1 app ? , coz when i tried media element it is supporting only mp4 & avi formats.

Here is a list of Media Foundation codecs
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd757927(v=vs.85).aspx
For the rest of the formats you have you write your own MFT-based codec and ship the codec with your app. See also
implementing a Codec MFT (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd757274(v=vs.85).aspx)
Media extensions sample (https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Media-extensions-sample-7b466096)
MKV and FLV are just container formats, though, you need to survey some video files to see what video codecs are actually in streams and support them one by one. Supporting some proprietary video formats may involve licensing costs from patent holders.

Sometimes your windows serial number might work in MAC version but this is not always the case. You can try downloading the trial version of MAC version and then see if your serial number works. If it does then there is no need to return anything IMHO.

BootCamp drivers crash Windows 7, slow startup, boot order?, backup drive

I have 3 issues that may be related or possibly not related to each other. I use an iMac (currently with Leopard 10.5.8 on a completely clean installation of both Leopard and Windows 7 on a freshly formatted and partitioned drive).
Issues:
1. Before reformatting and installing Leopard and Windows 7, I tried to install Snow Leopard and then Snow Leopard Bootcamp drivers into Windows 7. This crashed Windows 7.
2. Slow startup of Windows 7 - Drivers needed?
3. Firewire backup drive never re-mounts after using WIndows and then going back to OS X.
*Details of issues*:
In the past, before I completely re-installed Leopard 10.5.8 with a new Windows 7, with this same pair of operating systems, I always had a slow startup of Windows 7 on Boot Camp. Sometimes this would take up to 6 minutes to completely open Windows 7. The "Starting Windows" message would appear usually soon, but it would tale a very long time before the Windows logo Flag would appear. The slow startup still continues, even after a complete reinstallation of these on a freshly re-formatted and re-partitioned hard drive (This re-installation was done for reasons shown below).
For a long while I have thought that because I had never installed any BootCamp drivers into Windows 7, then it might start better if I were to install the BootCamp drivers from an installation disk. Thus when I the other day briefly upgraded to Snow Leopard, this time I went ahead while operating under Windows 7 to install into my already existing Windows 7 the set of Boot Camp drivers from the Snow Leopard installation disk. The installation seemed to go well, but it then hung up and never continued when it tried to install the Intel chipset driver. An an hour had passed with no further progress. Thus I force-shutdown the computer, and Windows then never opened until I restarted under safe mode. After that when I would restart Windows 7 "normally", I found also that the Apple wireless keyboard under BootCamp no longer was recognized. The "normal" slow booting of Windows 7 still remained.
Because of I was not sure just what all might have been messed up, and because I am waiting for new versions of several programs that I use to be made as versions compatible with Snow Leopard, I reformatted the complete drive (Both partitions were merged into 1), and then I reinstalled Leopard on a freshly prepared drive, followed by newly installing Windows 7 on a new BootCamp partition. Both systems were fresh installs on a freshly prepared drive and partitions. These were not from clones of the previous installations. This time I did not try to install any drivers from the Leopard disk. The slow booting of Windows 7 continues.
Things I have suspected might cause the slow booting:
1. Boot order of the Windows partition may be set to look for a CD-ROM before booting from the Windows 7 on the BootCamp Partition. To solve this, I have tried to open the BIOS on startup of Windows 7 in order to set the boot order. I am not sure which function key to press, but in trying several, I have gotten a DOS screen that shows Windows 7 as an option, but nothing else. When I select "Advanced", I get a list that includes "Safe Mode", "Boot Logging", and other items, but not anything for boot order.
2. The drivers for BootCamp might not yet be made for Windows 7, and I need to wait until these are so that these can be installed. After such, then maybe the slow startup might be fixed?
3. Possibly my Firewire backup drive interferes (permanently?) with the Windows startup process, because after I use Windows and then go back to OS X, the backup drive (Maxtor OneTouch III firewire drive) will not load on the MacIntosh desktop until I unplug the firewire from both the computer and the Maxtor drive and unplug the power cable to the backup drive, followed by replugging all of this in. (Note: The backup drive is formatted for Macintosh and is never seen as a drive in "My Computer" or in "Network Places" when I operate Windows 7).
Are you able to help/ Thank you.
Sincerely,
Wilson

Extra comments;
I also tried the following, which did not fix the startup (*Once up, Windows works well!*):
1. Checked for file and disk errors (ckdsk?? on startup).
2. Purged temporary internet and other temporary files (using internet options and disk cleanup utilities)
3. Cleared out Prefetch files.
4. Emptied trash.
5. Under "msconfig", I found 4 items there as startup items. I disabled Adobe Reader and Quicktime helpers, leaving only thus 2 startup items of the 4 enabled (Bulldog and some Microsoft thing).
6. Defragmented.
No better results.
Sincerely,
Wilson

Photoshop Elements crashing

Hi All
We have:
- Mac Book Pro (15" two and a half years old)
- OS X 10.6.8
- Photoshop Elements 4
It has all been working fine, then suddenly Photoshop Elements has started to crash. It will load up and if you leave it on the 'Welcome' screen with the 'Start From Scratch', 'Import from camera or scanner', 'Recent images' etc options, it is fine. Once you open an image or start a new one, it is ok for a short while but with in a minute or two it crashes. It doesn't crash when you specifically click on anything. It can crash with the image just on the screen and you not touching the laptop. It crashes straight out to 'Problem Report for Photoshop Elements'.
We are seeing no other applications having any problems.
The top of the crash report is as follows (if more of it is useful, please just ask - it is very long):

What I have tried:
- Removing the application
- Removing any preference files
- Reinstalling the application
- Removing any preference files for Opera (found this searching the forums..)
- Ran Disk Utility - Permissions and disk repair
- Ran the long/full hardware check off the OS X boot CD - no problems found
Any ideas please?
Thanks

Right, not had a chance to grab some one elses laptop and swap things, but I have done this..
This laptop has 2x 2GB sticks of RAM. It has 2 slots.
I put 1 stick in at a time in to each slot, so trying each stick of RAM on it's own in each of the 2 slots.
It crashed which ever stick was in which ever slot!
A mixture of the following 2 error variants appeared (both errors had with both sticks on their own):

Editing iMovie files with Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows

Hi,
My 12 year old asked for Final Cut Pro for Christmas to edit movies he takes on his iPod touch and iPad. However, he has a Windows-based desktop. As I understand it, Final Cut Pro is not a Windows-based program. I thought we could get him Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows, but will he be able to manipulate his iMovie files easily? I have no idea what format the iMovie files are. Will he be able to download them to his Windows desktop, edit his movie, and then upload back to his Apple devices? Thanks!

clue
Bottom line: Making distinction between video editor project files and formats of exports.
Details...
The iPod touch and iPad typically offer video files H.264.mov or H.264.mp4 formats. This is not a Mac versus Windows matter because we are talking exports (.mov and .mp4) not project files from a video editing project.
He should be able to take his iPod or iPad device videos and edit them in Premiere Elements. And, then he should be able to return them to his device(s).
But, many of these devices record video with a variable frame rate (depending on the lighting conditions to a great extent). Premiere Elements (any version) can have problems with such video to the extend (a) out of sync audio (b) cannot import file at all. I have a iPod Touch 4th Generation and have no Premiere Elements importing/editing/exporting problems with my 1280 x 720 @ 30 progressive frames per second (H.264.mov) video from that iPod.
Below is an excerpt of Premiere Elements 13 exports that might be of interest...

The ideal way would be to look at the tryout of Premiere Elements 13 before purchase. If not possible, then, if purchased from Adobe direct, there
should be an opportunity for money back within 30 days of purchased. If purchased from an authorized reseller, then the refund/return would be according to the policy of the retailer.
Please let us know if you are OK with the above information. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask. If clarification on anything that I have written is needed, please let me know.
Thank you.
