Why PE7 crashes after loading faulty avi file

Hi - Problem on this Vista Home Premium system and PE7 occurred after loading a faulty avi file. Now every time a new project is started a blank icon appears where the files usually reside. Just clicking on this icon causes a white flash, the screen changes to white and the program is being crashed. This occurs even after two clean reinstall of PE7. So I figure this faulty file resides somewhere in one of the program files but cannot figure where and why it is picked up on a brand new project causing the program to be unusable until restored to it's original state. I use PE7 along with PSE6. Everything was working fine until this happened. Any ideas why ?
Thanks for your help.

I'm sorry, Phil. I'm still not sure how your whole system got corrupted, even if your AVI was bad. But, if you were capturing AVIs from a Canon HV in DV Lock mode, I don't see how even the AVI was bad! So something odd is going on that must run deeper than just a corrupt file.
Assuming there's nothing out of the ordinary that you're not telling me (like that you're editing on a second or external drive or that you're working on a home-built system), I'm rather stumped.
Try holding down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys on the left side of your keyboard as you launch the program. This often clears corruptions in the program.
You can also go to C:/DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS/ALL USERS/APPLICATION DATA/ADOBE/PREMIERE ELEMENTS and delete -- or just rename -- the 7.0 folder. In case this, too, has corrupted, the program will recreate it.
Meantime, you say you've reinstalled the program. You can try uninstalling the program then deleting the C/PROGRAM FILES/ADOBE/PREMIERE ELEMENTS 7.0 completely -- just to ensure the program is completely removed. Then reinstall it clean.
As I've said, version 7 is a pretty stable build. Corruptions and problems with it are rare. I assume you maintain your computer, keep the operating system up and date and regularly defrag your drive(s) and run a virus scanner.
The FAQs to the right of this forum detail my regular maintenance regimen. I also walk you through it in my books.

You do want to eliminate every possible cause. Sorry. I know that's no fun.

  • CS5.5 always crashes after converting a few files

    I'm on a Windows 7 professional  SP1 (64bit), Intel Xeon w3550 3.07Ghz with an NVidia Quadro FX 3800.
    The encoding profile is H264, multiplexing mp4, encoder: Video MainConcept H.264, tv standard: pal, bitrate encoding: cbr, key frames distance 72.
    I'm using watch folders, since I have a backup of hundreds of video files stored in folders which have to be restored in the same folders once converted.
    This is the crash entry in the event viewer (had to translate it, since it's in italian):

  • I can't enter any values in JTextField after loading the flash files.

    Hi to all,
    In my application I have two panels. One panel has JTextField and another panel i loaded flash files.
    The flash files are build by CS4. I'm using JDIC to load the flash files. While open the application i loaded flash file and I try to enter any input in the textfiled, but I can't. After minimize and maximize the application I can enter the values. This problem happens only after I change the jre version from 1.6 to 1.7.
    While loading flash files I'm getting the below exception.

  • Why can't I load plugins from file system ?

    Hello.
    Why can't I load plugins from file system, fore development sake for ex. ?
    Thx.
    Andrew.

    For security reasons, the Flash Player doesn't allow applications to access both the file system and the network.
    One workaround is to compile the plugins in statically (rather than load them dynamically).  The Akamai Plugin Sample shows you how to load plugins either way, you can see the source here: http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/osmf/trunk/apps/samples/plugins/AkamaiPluginSam ple/.

  • Premiere Pro CC crashes after 'loading media'

    Last week I had to swap my media from one HDD to another.
    When next loading up the project Premiere crashed right after the 'loading media' bar was complete.
    No panels or anything opened up like expected. And premiere became completely unresponsive.
    I went back to using the origional HDD but I still had the same problem.
    My soultion was to create an entirely new project and import my media again.
    Today the same thing has happened except I never moved the footage off of the HDD.
    The second project now hangs after 'loading media' too.
    Other projects where all the files are on my internal HDD are fine.
    Ne error report is generated and I have a small chance of being able to open task manager to shut down Premiere. Usually I have to pull the plug to turn it off as it seems to be using 100% of my Disk usage.
    Everything is up to date (6.0.5) and I am running Windows 8 (sorry not sure what information you need :/ )
    Any help would be hugely appreciated!

  • LiveCyle 8.2, WinXP SP2 - LC crashes after creating bloated pdf file

    Last night, while cleaning up a form, and taking out code like debugging app.alerts, LiveCycle ballooned the form file size from 13MB to 52MB!
    This morning, when I opened the file and made any modifications and then saved it, LC crashed with a Visual C runtime error, which wiped out the form file, leaving a 0 byte file. I'm hosed on all the work I did since as soon as I load the .bak file, rename and save it, as soon as I modify the newly named file, it crashes again.
    I have the DRWatson dump files for the crash. How do I bring this to the attention of Adobe? The bloating of the form is problematic since it leaves the form too big to email, but the crash is scary.

    Can you save the form as a PDF and send it to [email protected] ... I think I know what is happening.

  • Applications crashing after / trying to save files - access finder

    Hi
    I am having problems with Snow Leopard. Any application which seems to access the finder to store/retrieve files crashes. I can repeat this to make the error occur.
    Example
    Create a new mail and add an attachment then cancel it - crash
    Create a new mail add an attachment and click add - likely crash
    Fireworks
    Export an image - crash after about 2-3 exports
    Xcode
    Add files into a project - select some....crash
    Safari
    Save a PDF of a page....you guessed it - crash !
    I've ran disk permissions, checked the disk and at somewhat of a loss to explain what is occurring ! The only thing I can think of is that somehow the finder part of snow leopard is corrupt for my install over leopard - I never had this problem in Leopard.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Alternatively, there's a conflict or corruption amongst the original preference files (plists) that you need to resolve. While logged into the newly created admin account, backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. Open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.

  • Why won't iDVD burn my .avi files... it used to?

    i have files ending in .avi that i want to burn to a DVD, in order to watch them on television.

    sometimes, throwing a .mp4 file into iDVD nothing happens at all, or it will say unsupported / unrecognized file.
    the only time it did work was when i used a program to convert a file to .mp4, but now it has a huge watermark across the picture.
    why all of a sudden does it not work?

  • Why won't CS6 load a project file?

    Here's my problem, I have one really big project and Premiere opens it just fine. But once it begins to load it eventually freezes. I've tried moving the files off an external drive onto my local drive, I've tried to delete some of the files in case the project just has too much memory used & I've tried to clean out the media cache folders. Nothing is solving the problem, what do you guys think might be the problem?

    If those externals are USB that could definitely be an issue. USB3 can sustain read speeds to hold say footage but the read-write issues of having anything other than footage on one is a problem. If you've got a project file or cache files over USB3, it's very problematic.
    Also, your RAM and CPU cycle speed are both on the low end of usability for practical things. Could run CS6 okay but won't really do too well with the CC versions. Like me, you've got a quad-core machine, more cores & faster bus speeds are better. Sigh.
    The Tweakers Page is a great resource ... some of the all-time HUGE participants on these forums put together a series of real-world tests of the Adobe DVA's run through computers ... they have a file you download & it's got a resource monitoring program and a PrPro project file that's not "long" but is loaded with PrPro & AfterEffects stuff that is designed to test every part of your computer ... CPU, front-side bus & disc-access speeds, RAM & GPU/vRAM use, disc-in/out, all of it. A lot of people have run this and loaded the log-files back up to their site so they have real-world data on different computer parts & combinations and how they actually work.
    Tweaker's Page ...
    http://ppbm7.com/index.php/tweakers-page
    Among other stuff there, they've got some great info on how to "array" your video "stuff" ... from OS, program, and project file locations on the computer to where cache files, previews, database, and footage should be placed on systems ranging from two drives to mega-drives. Project files, cache files, database ... all have a ton of read-write cycles, and so need fast access both in/out. Spreading these files out on multiple internal drives or a combo of internal/external using eSATA & Thunderbolt connections for the externals is recommended ... or putting them all on a RAID 0 4/5 disc array of say 2 Tb drives. Internal SSD discs (secondary, not the system or C drive) for cache/previews/database is also good.
    Footage files need mostly simple read-times & data transport, so they can be on say a USB3 external and be acceptable, and say export files also can be on such a drive.
    Depending on the connections to your externals, you may need to say move project files internal (even if on the same as the system, not optimal) and leave the footage on the externals. But reading up a bit might give you some ideas on how to proceed ...
