My Windows key + print screen stopped working in 8.1
If the problem is the Print Screen functionality itself I would try running ProcMon to see what is happening.  Filtering on  Path Contains Screenshots  might be illuminating.   <eg>
If  shell:Screenshots  doesn't open you would have an explanation too.  (Not shell:Pictures?  Who knew?)  Then if that didn't work, I imagine there would be some failed registry events to be looked at.  Compare with a trace
of that command working so you don't have to think too hard about what you are seeing.   <eg>

  • LR 3.6 App Crash at start (Win 7 64bit Pro)

    Hi,
    After updating to LR3.6 I have (several times) experienced "a crash" when starting Lightroom: The screen gets greyed out, and application is not responding.

    Before updating to 3.6 (64bit version, naturally) I have been running previous version without any issues. Today, after crash Windows stated the following: "To try and fix the problem, Windows has applied compatibility settings to this program. Windows will use there settings the next time you run the program." With compatibility setting the program seems to start ok, but this should run without any tweaking, right?
    Now, I'm concerned what has changed, as I have done no changes to the workstation, except windows security updates. Any clues on how to trouble shoot? Any help would be appreciated.
    Operating system is Windows 7, 64bit Pro.

    Add that I have also tried to clone the HD in question on a firewire HD, connecting it to another G4 and launching the application from it, premiere starts slowly, then, on the same computer I booted from that firewire Hd cloned and gives the same error, summarizing the hd firewire connected to another g4 ago as a secondary launch the application, but booting from it thereby making the primary application does not start anymore, so I suppose it is a problem of any extension that goes on in conflict that specific disc, thus excluding hardware problems ... any suggestions?

  • Encore CS3 library install fails on win7 64bit pro

    Hi
    Just installing my discs from Premiere Pro CS3 onto a win 7 64 bit pro PC, which was my Win X 32bit PC but with all new components except Power supply unit and my Audigy X-Fi elite pro sound card.
    Exit Kaspersky IS 2014.
    Premiere CS3 failed to go on though other third part components did.
    I then disabled Kaspersky IS 2014 AND made the User Account Control 'off', and bingo, it worked.
    So now reboot and turn off KIS and check UAC is off, and proceed, install Encore CS3. it went on
    However Encore CS3 library has a red X.
    try again select install library, long wait for the green progress bar to finish, result still not on.
    Why and what else can I do ?
    Has anyone else had a battle installing CS3 onto win7 pro 64bit or just win7 64 bit ?
    Merlin

    CS3 is 32 bit. But it sounds like you got that part to work. Does Encore run? I don't think that is the issue; I suspect permissions.
    If you are just wanting menus, etc, just use the CS6 download. Don't use one of the links with an installer; just download and unzip to the correct location. The menus were not updated from the pre-CS4 pars (Encore knows to do this), so I suspect you will be fine. I have not actually used the recent library with CS3.

    Press the power button and immediately tap the Esc key. That will invoke the startup menu. Now press the F2 key to invoke the PC UEFI Diagnostics.

  • Itunes freezes the computer on windows 7 64bit pro

    Hello,
    no matter what i do, itunes always makes my computer freeze. it happens by itself from time to times but after connecting my iphone it happens within 5 mins.
    i tried reinstalling itunes, closing AVG, even format my computer and start with a brand new install of windows.
    in the event viewer i get this msg: "WSARecvMsg failed (10022)" from the Bonjour service.
    how do i solve it?
    thanx in advance

    Hi rapmyice!
    While you mentioned that you have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, there is a specific order of steps that need to be taken when uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and related components. Information on this process can be found here:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    If you are still having issues after completely and thoroughly uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and all related components, you may need to re-create your library by following the steps in the link below:

  • 0xc004e003 error while activating Win 7 Pro on Portege R930-17L

    Toshiba Portege R930-17L
    S/N: 5D016093H
    (If I search on Toshiba after SN I only find it in Toshiba - Ukraine)
    Bought from "Sigmanet" online shop in Romania.
    It has a sticker on the back side w/ Windows 8 Pro (small sticker without product key).
    It arrived with Windows 8 install CD.
    On it was preinstalled Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 (this notebook has the right to use Windows 8 and Windows 7)
    Of course, the preinstalled OS was running slow and gave errors (McAfee AV preinstalled, a bunch of small apps, a.s.o.)
    I reinstalled Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 (original CD) on clean partition.
    I can't activate it with the following:
    Product Key: XXXXX-YYYYY-ZZZZZ-XXXXX-YYYYY
    Product ID: xxxxx-OEM-xxxxxxx-xxxxx
    Error code: 0xc004e003
    Now, I've spoken with Microsoft Romania, they tried to help me but they failed.
    They told me that the license appears to be blocked from Toshiba, so they suggested me to contact them (Toshiba) for unblocking the license or for providing a new product key.
    So, I've contacted the seller. They passed me to Toshiba authorised service in Romania which avoids to help me.
    Now I'm stuck. What to do or whom to contact. Everything is so blurry ...
    I appreciate any response you can give me. Thanks!

    > It has a sticker on the back side w/ Windows 8 Pro (small sticker without product key).
    >It arrived with Windows 8 install CD.
    >On it was preinstalled Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 (this notebook has the right to use Windows 8 and Windows 7)
    Toshiba notebooks are preinstalled with Windows systems which are already activated.
    The stickers you can find at the bottom of the units are OEM serial keys and such keys dont work in connection with other different system. The OEM key belongs to the preinstalled image.
    So in case you would use the Toshiba recovery disk and would install the Windows system using such disk, the serial key would not be necessary.
    According to the Toshiba specification page:
    http://www.toshiba.co.il/en/laptops/portege/r930/portege-r930-17l/ the notebook was preinstalled with Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
    This means that Win 7 Recovery DVD was not part of the package. Why?
    because the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator software was preinstalled on such notebook. The software allows you to create the Recovery DVD containing the Win 7 64bit Pro system and image which is activated.

  • Speedgrade CC 2014.2 build 8.2x51 unsmooth/choppy 4K playback with GPU R9 295x2 - it uses only 2 GB of RAM (Windows 8.1 64Bit), Mac OS - same problem

    Hello, guys
    I have following configuration:
    i7-5960x @ 4.3 GHz
    32 GB DDR4 RAM
    ATI 295x2 8GB (Gpusniffer.exe shows 3072 MB on each Hawaii unit)
    M.2 Ultra Samsung XP941 (>1000Mb/sec)
    Few 850 Pro SSD for H.264 4k source
    Latest Speedgrade CC build at 16/02/2015 (DUAL MONITOR SETUP - 2560x1440 for Interface and 4096x2160 for Preview)
    I work with a lot of short 10-15 seconds 4K 4096x2160 24FPS H.264 clips from Panasonic GH4. Import them to Premiere CC as is, some warp stabilization, cut them, save project and open in Speedgrade CC. Everything is fantastic smooth in Premiere CC.
    In Speedgrade - some simple color correction - Exposition, some keyframes and the most simple grading for some material. I use GPU acceleration for sure to have full 4096x2160 4K 24FPS. But it is not responsive and smooth after some correction is applied. Everything is choppy and freezes first seconds, when I press "PLAY". I used Resources monitor, Task manager (Winodws 8.1 64-bit) and Afterburner. And there is what I found out:
    Afterburner shows utilization of single GPU (as we know for playback only 1 GPU used) the same amount like in Premiere. Speedgrade CC uses 2,5GB VRAM. By the way, if I use some none-gpu-accelerated effect, like "transform", for example, imported from Premiere, I will get "Not enough GPU resources" message in Speedgrade. Afterburner shows, that Speedgrade CC tried to utilize more, then max. available VRAM 3GB during this moment. So I switch off such effects, before open project in Speedgrade.
    Processor is also low on utilization (15%), maybe even a little lower, then in Premiere CC
    Disk - 3-10%, H.264 is low on it
    RAM !!! - is the problem. I allowed to use 29 GB of RAM to Adobe apps. Speedgrade CC uses not more, then 2-3 GB according to Taskmanager (mostly 2GB) and Resources Monitor of Windows 8.1 64Bit Pro. After I finished with color correction, opened project in Premiere CC, everything works smooth with lumteri on and! Premiere CC uses 9-10 GB of RAM to play the same clip at full resolution smoothly!!!
    I already reinstalled everything, including drivers for GPU, Windows 8.1 and Adobe CC. Same result.
    Macbook Pro Retina 15 late 2013 with i7-4960HQ/16gb RAM/Geforce 750m UPDATE!
    Under Mac Os Yosemite 10.10.2 - same situation here. Premiere CC uses 5GB (of 11GB available) for 4096x2160 Prores 422 HQ and is usable, smooth with some frame drops.
    Speedgrade CC uses 2,5 GB of RAM for 4096x2160 and it is impossible to use full 4096x2160. Only 1/2 Resolution for preview is smooth and usable at notebook display. At external 4096x2160 monitor connected through Thunderbolt it is much more choppy, I think it is hard for 750m with 2 GB of VRAM.
    UPDATE! Previous version (CC 2014) of Premiere CC and Speedgrade CC under Windows 8.1 64-bit - same situation.
    What do you think?
    My opinion - Speedgrade CC is not optimized for 4K resolutions. Premiere CC is good for 4K.
    btw, for information, latest AMD catalyst omega driver 14.12 has a problem with my R9 295x2 and Mercury Playback Engine (MPE) OpenCL - just the black screen with sound, when I turn on GPU acceleration. So I use previous 14.9 version. With 14.12 GPUsniffer.exe found one GPU device with 4Gb of VRAM and one GPU with 3GB of VRAM (normally must be 3GB+3GB for 295x2 Dual GPU-chip radeon).

    So, I got MSI 290x 8GB tested and... found out that I can't use 8GB of VRAM, because there are some AMD driver limitations!!!
    1. I switched off my 295x2 8Gb (4GB+4GB) to be sure, it will not affect VRAM amount.
    2. I launched Gpusniffer utility with 14.9 AMD driver and 3072 Mb VRAM was available ONLY! It worked like 295x2 with 3072 + 3072 Mb VRAM.
    3. I installed 14.12 AMD Omega driver and GPUsniffer informed that I have now 8192 Mb!!! But! Mercury Playback Engine did not work with Premiere Pro CC or Speedgrade CC as with my 295x2. Just black screen.
    RGB and Luma at 0 and preview is black with 14.12 AMD driver. Premiere PRO - the same situation.
    With 14.9 AMD Driver. Left 2560*1440 Dell working area monitor and 4096*2160 preview LG monitor right side.
    With 14.9 Gpusniffer shows 3 and 3 and 3GB Vram instead of 4GB and 4GB and 8Gb. As I understood with CrossfireX switched off - Adobe products and their GPUsniffer utility could "find" and use 8GB on primary GPU, but again we can see AMD driver issues.
    Single 290x 8GB with 14.9 AMD driver also displays only 3072 Mb available in Gpusniffer.
    NEATVIDEO informed on their website in Bugs section about 14.12 driver problem with MPE. They also wrote about problem to AMD, so I did. I think, this is really bad story. So, AMD, we are awaiting for normal drivers.

  • Cannot Install Creative cloud OR Adobe Application Manager on brand new install of Windows 7 64bit

    Here is where I've been today...
    I started out this process formatting my C drive (a 120gb SSD),
    then I reinstalled windows 7 64bit  from scratch
    then I ran ALL of the updates "Windows Update" suggessted
    then I installed google chrome
    then I logged into creative cloud and whent to the download center and I think I clicked on like Adobe Acrobat XI pro or I might have clicked on the actual "Creative Cloud" download
    then I opened the installer and it got to about here:
    And then it popped up with this "Sorry, there seems to be a problem with the download process (Error code: A12E5). For troubleshooting tips, please visit our customer support page.":
    Then I I tried what I thought was the next best second option.... I downloaded the Adobe Application Manager ("ApplicationManager7.0_all"). After the successful download of said installer
    Then I ran the installer and told it to unpack it's gear on my desktop. It sort of did, but before it was done it gave me this error: "a problem occurred while extracting some files. check available space on your computer and write privileges on destination folder":
    Then I tried to run the akward result of the "failed" extraction (see pic below):
    Which just so happened to have a healthy looking setup file in it:
    So naturally I ran the setup file and got this error "we've encountered the following issues installer failed to initialize. please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem" which gave me two options "Get Support Advisor" or "quit":
    Guess what I did next... I clicked "Get Support advisor"
    Downloaded the windows version... install seemed to go alright and then after this I ran the software package and sure enough I found out that the system is doing great no errors were found!~ Sweet! "inspection could not identify any issues. Please contact Adobe Support for further Assistance." and as it sugessted Iwent over to http://www.adobe.com/support/ and poked around for quite a while and gave up
    A diffrent thread (http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/a12e1-error-downloading-creative-cloud.html) seemed to suggest that it was the downloading of the installer that was causing the issue. So I tried downloading the installer from every possible source that I can find... Mozilla, Chrome, Internet Explorer "IE" 11, I searched despratly for a way to turn off the "Download manager" and all of this has been to no avail!
    I tried a few other things which I cannot recall (I think one of them was downloading it through mozilla which had a little more promise.) and I think I also tried what was suggested in this thread: "http://forums.adobe.com/message/5386547"
    Here is a quote from that thread:

    MAC : ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Then try to install AAM again, it should install without any issues.
    This process was what I THINK what produced the "Adobe Application Manager" Icon on my desktop!
    which I then clicked hopefully!
    It then began to update "OH BOY!!!"
    Then I was greated with the still stark reality that I was wrong to have silly hopes... and it coldly told my boyish heart "We encountered the following issues: Sorry, there seems to be a problem with the download process (Error Code: A12E5). For troubleshooting tips, please visit our customer support page."
    I've tried just about everything I know how to try... I need this software up an running or my job is on the line YIKES!
    Please help! God bless you for doing so!

  • Satellite Pro C50-A-1E6: Windows 7 Pro to Windows 8.1 Pro Upgrade

    Hello,
    My laptop came with Windows 7 Pro pre-installed and also came with the disks to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro, when I reboot the laptop to the optical drive with the Windows 8.1 Pro disk in there doesn't seem to be any options for upgrading Windows rather it is just the generic tools for recovering/backing up the laptop and installing Windows 8.1 Pro isn't mentioned anywhere.
    Am I missing something? Do I need to format the laptop in order for it to pick up the Windows 8.1 set-up process?
    The laptop seems to be picking up the Windows 8.1 Pro disk as the interface is similar to that of Windows 8 (when choosing region/keyboard) but as I mentioned it just defaults to repairing the existing installation with no options to upgrade.
    Cheers,
    Paul

    >Am I missing something? Do I need to format the laptop in order for it to pick up the Windows 8.1 set-up process?
    Youve got the WIN 8.1 64BIT PRO DVD disk.
    I think this is NOT a upgrade disk but using this installation disk, the system (Win 8.1) will be installed on the HDD and this procedure would get rid of Win 7
    So before trying to install Win 8.1 I would recommend you to create the Toshiba Recovery medium as described in user manual. Read it!
    After the Recovery medium (Disk or UBS flash stick) has been created, you could boot from the WIN 8.1 64BIT PRO DVD in order to start the installation!

    Hey there. I've got 15-minute long movie edited in Premiere. Whenver I've tried rendering/exporting to see what the final product looks like, Media Encoder will usually freeze up about halfway through encoding. The time estimated/time elapsed will freeze, and if I cancel the encoding the program freezes up.
    Other times I will get an error that says "encode failed because the source duration is nil". Not sure what that means, but the render arrows in the work area are never set to zero.
    Additionally, I've tried exporting different lengths of the project only to have the same results, with Media Encoder failing each time.
    Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
    My footage is in .mp4 format, and I'm also exporting to the same format. I've got numerous music and voiceover files as well. Resolution when exporting is 1280x720, and the max bitrate is 7.0mbps.
    It seems more like a software problem than a lack of adaquate hardware, but I'm running a laptop with Windows 7 64-bit with a 2.0 GHz CPU and 8GB of RAM - I'm not sure how to find out what kind of video card I have.
    Thanks for any assistance, it is greatly appreciated!

    My 3 hard drives are configured as... (WD = Western Digital)
    1 - 320G WD Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
    2 - 320G WD Win7 swap file and video project files
    3 - 1T WD all video files... input & output files
    Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows swap file

    Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
    You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
    Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
    You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708?tstart=0 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
    I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
    Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing

    A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used this eSata Dock... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers
