Explain clearly what you want to do, what you are doing and what the result is
Open Premiere to do some work
Be sure to mention if it is something that worked before using the same procedure
Nothing has changed on the PC prior to program failure.
Very importantly: Post details of troubleshooting you have already done to avoid "did that" reponses to questions people ask when trying to help.
Tried:
Reinstalling
Reducing to one screen.
Holding Shift when starting until first screen (New/ Open Existing/ Help)
Holding Ctrl, Shift Alt when starting until first screen (New/ Open Existing/ Help)
Programme crashed regardless of clicking directly on loading icon and opening New or Existing via first load screen, or via clicking directly from a project file.
Removed all fonts installed since last opened.
Restarting.
Updated Graphics Driver.
Updated Premiere

Hi guys; I thought I would share my experience and how I managed to fix this problem. It might help someone.
In my case I kept receiving this message; eventually after re-launching Premiere, I actually paid close attention to the "software loading" information and saw that it got stuck on my installed "Colorista ii" which is a colour grading software.
Now the red bulb came on my head ping!
I recently just upgraded my Mac to the OS X Yosemite & that affected pretty much any non-updated application, which in my case was that and many more of the Red Giant Pacakge; so I searched for the upgrade via Red giant Link, and low and behold I found it and did so. Immediately everything loaded up perfectly fine.. and now can't even do the work, cos I'm so exhausted from an 'almost heartattack'; so going to sleep and commence later in the day I guess..
Now, you might probably want to check if any application on your system needs upgrading to whatever is the operating system on your Mac or PC at this very time. It might help.
Always back-up.
I hope I helped someone :-)

'Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project'. What is the solution? (Mac)

There is an error that says when I am open my project: 'Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project'. What is the solution? (mac)

This happens to me all the time too. When I attempt to reopen, it makes a "copy of" my project. This is frustrating and happiness often.

Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires adobe premiere pro to shut down

Every time I start premiere pro, i get this message
Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires adobe premiere pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.
I have no idea why this is happening because the program has been working fine for nearly 7 months.
My ram is 2gb, I have a c2d processor and a powerful psu and a gfx card.
Any ideas as what I can do, I have already reinstalled, removed vst plugins and reset all sorts of preferences and caches.
THank you

Head to the Adobe site's 'knowledgebase', type optimise CS3 for (Windows XP, if that's what your using) and following the instructions there, house clean. I find doing this helps clean out those nasty messages

"A Serious Error Has Occurred That Requires Adobe Premiere Pro to Shut Down"

"A Serious Error Has Occurred That Requires Adobe Premiere Pro to Shut Down" Pops up every time I export a video.. I have 2 TB of space where i'm exporting so thats not the issue... I'm using RED Giant Pluraleyes to match multiple cameras but other then that, there are no other 3rd party plug ins being used...
This is very frustrating. I'm using updated CC and have tried shutting down the computer (iMac) and tried exporting to different locations on and off my HDD.
What am I supposed to do?

So, opening a new project works?

Adobe Premiere CC Trial Version "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down." PLEASE HELP!

Every time I open any project in Adobe Premiere CC Trial Version, I get the message "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will try to save your project." I can't edit at all and am totally stuck. Please help!
It's terrible that this is happening on the trial version as it's making me want to go straight back to FCP! Also - I've tried switching external hard drive and that also doesn't work.
Thank you!

Every time I place a video into the sequence timeline, this error message pops up, "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." and then Premiere crashes.
I tried uninstalling all products and then reinstalling them, and the problem is still there.
What can I do to fix this?

@RoninEdits, Thanks for the response.
But yeah, I've tried both the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration AND Software Only and its the same issue with both.

Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down! Frustrated.

Thank you Last House. I will, in keeping with my M.O. make the purchase. Whatever it takes in my attempt to make this program work. (I have had all good with WD)
IdrtvEditor, spent an afternoon with the computer take-over as well and they didn't know what was wrong. One thing I found is that I can't trust that a capture has actually completed. I looked all through my files, knowing that I had captured this particular segment of the reception. Started to freak out and then realized It had. The first one minute and a half of it. The same thing happened while adobe support was in the computer. He had no idea, and simply suggested that I only capture small portions of film at a time. Easy to say if your not capturing real time wedding ceremony footage and syncing 3 angles.
Just now, I came in and opened a project, and a totally new warning I haven't seen before came on the screen. /Users/(path of project name etc.) Audio Filter missing: Internal Volume Mono. This is really getting scary.

Error Message: Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Pro to shut down.

Hi. I'm having another serious problem with CS4 (the version that comes with CS5 when you don't have 64 bit capability. I just finished a project, had saved it, and then had switched over to Adobe Encoder to create a finished flash video (which worked perfectly). I shut down CS4, went home, tried to restart the main project to create a video from the same project (wanted to make an mpeg version as well) and got the following error message:
Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project. Then the system shuts down.
Not only can I not open the project I was working on, I cannot open any of my prior projects without receiving the same error.
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this issue and how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
By the way, is everyone else having the same amount of problems with this software? I've never had any software that has had so many problems from the beginning. My opinion of this software and Adobe in general has gone down substantially.

Not enough information for anyone to even make a guess

Another "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."

When I try an open the original project or a copy of it I get this message.
"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
I have tried to create a new project and get the same message.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program a few times.
The last time I worked on the project I had no issues.
Any suggestions?

Hi
a. Open Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 - Yes, I get the welcome screen (v9.0). I can choose open project, and choose my project. The program will open and show that it is loading the project with the scroll line will show all the way to 100% and will stay there. Sometimes I get the "Sorry" message and sometimes the loading project window just goes away and nothing is loaded and the program stays on the clock until I close it.
b. You can find the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and deletion of it makes no difference to your issue. - Made no difference
c. Have you deleted the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists? If not, please do so. - Done, made no difference
1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? - Running McAfee Total Access Protection. Turned off firewall and anti virus. It works. As a test I left the anti virus off and tried loading project with and with out the firewall turned on. The project loaded each time. I then tested the firewall on, with and with out antivirus. Antivirus off - project loads each time. Antivirus on - doesn't load and program stays on clock.
I will continue to experiment with it and see what happens. The last time I used it I was running a different McAfee product than no. So it seems to work with the Firewall on and the Antivirus off.

Premiere Elements 9 - "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements....

When I start up a new project in Premiere Elements 9, the only thing that comes up is the gray screen. When I try to open any existing project, I get the following message:
"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
I have tried all of the suggestions on this website and still, nothing works. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

First question that comes to mind is "Is this a never worked before type issue or it worked before but not now type issue?"
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9 running on? Do you have the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Update installed? And, the typical drill questions, do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed and are you working from a User Account with Administrative Priviledges?
Since Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is a 32 bit application, we would revisit the question of your computer resources...processor, installed/available RAM, free hard drive space? Is your computer optimized...defragmented, video and audio card drivers up to date, pile ups preview files and conformed video and audio files cleaned out? Scratch Disks directed to save location with enough free space to receive them?
Have you checked to make sure that antivirus and firewalls are not contributing to or causing the issue?
Another thought...are you running a dual (or more) monitor setup with your current video card?
Please review and then we can decide what next.
Thanks.

Premiere Elements 9 - "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements..(2)

Hi,
I have the exact same problem as described here but the solution proposed here didn't work:
Premiere Elements 9 - "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements....
I'm still getting the message "Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.".
I uninstalled, reboot, installed, reboot a few times and it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions? I'm using Premiere Elements 9 and Windows 7, 64 bits. It was working before. It started after I had to reformat my harddrive and reinstall everything.
Thanks,

...By the way, when you did that and deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs deletion did not resolve the problem, did you then delete the whole folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists?
[YH] Yes I did but it didn't work.
1. When you did the uninstall/reinstall, did you include a ccleaner run through between the uninstall and the reinstall? Good idea to do that to remove any leftovers from incomplete uninstall reinstalls.
[YH] Done but didn't work. I just ran the CCleaner free version. I'm not sure if it's enough.
2. Do you have the 9.0.1 Update installed.
[YH] Done but didn't work.
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer
[YH] I didn't have QuickTime installed. It is now but didn't do any difference. I uninstalled Adobe Premiere Elements, ran CCleaner, reboot, installed APE, reboot... still doesn't work.
3. Are you running your computer from a User Account with Administrative Privileges as well as Run As Administrator (from right click of program desktop icon and selection of Run As Administrator?
[YH] Yes
4. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
[YH] I'm assuming yes because it was working before.
5. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus program disabled?
[YH] I haven't tried yet but see item number 6 below.
6. Go to Computer/Manage/Services and Applications/Services and assure that FLEXnet Licensing Service is started.
[YH] I don't see any FLEXnet. I don't remember installing this on any computer. I googled it but I'm not sure I understand what and from where to install it. I checked at work on another computer running Adobe Premiere Elements and FLEXnet is running on that computer. So this might be the source of the problem.
7. The following is a version 12 remedy, let us see if this will work for 9.0/9.0.1
As described in the link below, rename the SLCache Folder and the SLStore Folder.
