Adobe premiere elements 12 error

I worked on a project yesterday for several hours.  Today the program will not open.  I just get the error message that the display drivers must be updated.  What do I do?

Have you gone to the nVidia or ATI web sites and updated your drivers?
This article from the FAQs to the right of this forum offers more information on updating your drivers and deleting your BadDriver.txt file.

  • Error message when downloading Adobe Premiere Elements 11

    When attempting to download the Adobe Premiere Elements 11 from the cd, I'm getting an error message that reads: "The installation process has encountered an error while installing Shared Technologies. Please restart your system and try again".I'm using a Windows 7 Operating System. When I attempt the download again, I get the same error message.

    Many of us have encounted this issue. The problem is not confined to a particular version or computer operating. Many homemade remedies and scientific ones have worked for some and not others. The most recent fix was offered by an ID by the name of Maud Barbara and seems to have been the answer for that user and at least one more.
    Maud Barbara's fix can be found at the end of the very long thread on the subject found

    Hello 
    I had the same problem as you and I just d have the solution:
    go to C / program files (86) / common files/OOBE
    Rename OOBE by OLDOOBE
    and your problem is resolved
    You can reinstall the software
    What worked for me in this case was none of the above. How I and others navigated this installation problem is documented in the thread cited.

  • No Disk Error for Adobe Premiere Elements 12

    I installed Adobe Premiere Elements 12 to my PC. Everytime I load the software, I get this annoying alert saying that there is no disk located error. I can get it to go away if I click on try again a bunch of times, but I want to get rid of this problem. It should NOT be happening. SOME BODY TELL ME WHAT TO DO PLEEAASE!

    Please check out recent thread which sought to solve the disc error message that appears to be similar to what you are reporting
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/6246049#6246049
    There was no definitive answer. Still waiting for follow up to the latest line of questions in that thread.
    Suggestions about this being a long time issue are a bit misleading. In versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 12, there was a SmartSound/Sonicfire Pro 5  feature which appeared to be linked to the disc error message. And, updating SmartSound/Sonicfire Pro 5 was claimed to be the cause and remedy for the disc error message.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1300410
    However, SmartSound/Sonicfire Pro 5 is no longer a feature in Premiere Elements 12. Premiere Elements 12 does have a Music Score feature, similar in principle to SmartSound soundtracks, but the SmartSound feature is gone in version 12.
    Please review that information in the link above and let us know if any of it works for you.

    Hello everybody
    I have a new laptop and when I want to add a .mov movie to Adobe premiere elements, this error occures. Im trying to solve this problem now for days but I dont know how to continue. Im working with Windows XP, Version 2002, T2250, 0.99 RAM and an old Premiere elements 2004 version.
    On my old computer I was able to add this same .mov movies, but not on the new one.
    I also tried to convert this .mov movies, but the quality was to bad...
    Does anybody know this problem? Im appreciating every little advice and help.
    Thanks a lot

    Sorry for all the delays getting your thread moving forward. I suspect that it got lost in the daily thread traffic and Adobe's major updating of the forums.
    Do your issues still exist. If they are the same as when you posted on May 8th, then
    1. When you used HandBrake for the converslion of your .mov file, did you leave the Container = Mp4. And under Video Tab, did you set the Videc Codec = H.264 (x264)? All you needed to do at that point was dot the Constant for the frame rate and designate a frame rate and select the Start button and wait for the Queue Finished message in the progress bar at the bottom left of the HandBrake workspace.
    2. What model iPhone is the video coming from? Your iPhone is probably giving you HD video (probably 1080p). So increasing the computer's installed RAM from 2.00 to 4 GB would be expected to help the overall workflow. Only if you have a 64 bit computer operating system, 8 GB installed would be even better. The 4 GB installed RAM is the maximum supported by a 32 bit computer operating system.
    3. Specially for
    The movie is stopping and jumping.
    When you are playing back the Timeline content, are you looking at the "rendered Timeline"? Is there an red line over the content during that playback? If so, press the Enter key and wait for the render process to complete. This rendering process gives you the best possible preview of what you are seeing. The red  line could be due to your editing the content, or it could be due to an incorrect selection of project settings. If you supply information about your video properties, we can suggest the best possible project settings. I do not recall seeing that you mentioned what version of Premiere Elements that you are using 1, 2, 3, 4 or other?
    Please review the above and then let me know what supplemental information and/or clarification would help.
    Thank you.

  • 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 7, Sorry, a serious error has occurred  that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to..

    Hi, my software just recently started giving me the folowing error and it does not work (start):
    Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adone Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.
    I had tried everything, even uninstalling and reinstalling the program and still it does not work. Does anybody have this issue?
    Do you know how to fix it?

    I found the root casue of the problem. I just turn OFF the McAfee antivirun software and the Premiere Elements 7 works now. 
    I realized that McAfee updated the version on April 20 and i think this version has a problem with the Adobe Premiere Elements programm.

  • 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!

    JerryK713
    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.

  • 'serious error' when creating a new project in adobe premiere elements 10

    Hello,
    I saw similar questions on the forums but not quite what is happening with me.
    First off I should say i've never had this working however the copy of premiere elements 7 we had worked perfectly fine. I am a technician in a school and i'm trying to install the software for the students (we have lots of lisences). The software appears to install perfectly fine and the launcher works. I click to create a new project (or open an old one) premiere appears to load up correctly. It only crashes once I click to browse for a location to save the file.
    The error message says, as i've noticed seems to be a generic message for any error on premiere: "Sorry, A serious error has occured that has caused Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project"
    At first I thought this was student user rights (as students do not have access to C:\) however I have since tried it with my own admin account which has full rights and effectively should be able to do anything and it still continues to crash.
    The stations I am working with are:
    Operating System
    MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3
    CPU
    Intel Pentium E5200  @ 2.50GHz
    Wolfdale 45nm Technology
    RAM
    2.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz (6-6-6-18)

    Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset
    Hard Drives
    156GB SAMSUNG SAMSUNG HD161GJ (SATA)
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide some insight on this matter

  • Error generating movie Adobe Premiere Elements 11

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded from Adobe Premiere Elements 8 to 11 (11.0).
    My system is Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit, running on Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.5 GHz, 4GB Ram, with 75GB free diskspace.
    My input movies are AVCHD 1440x1080 25i video's (MTS files).
    Everything is running fine. Editing goes smoothly (even smoother than when I was still using PE8). So in that sense I'm very satisfied and I think my system can handle it well. It doesn't seem to run out of memory, etc.
    However, now I want to generate the output movie. The movie is about 10 minutes long and has some music and transitions under it. Previewing the movie goes fine.
    I've tried uploading it to Youtube (HD 1440x1080 file). The progress monitor stays at 0% for 5 minutes and then suddenly goes 2 100% in a few seconds and afterwards starts to upload the movie. However, the movie that's actually uploaded contained only the first 4 seconds of the video. When I tried again, it was about 14 sec.
    So, then I tried generating movies locally on the PC. I tried:
    Adobe Flash HD 720p.
    MPEG2 HDTV 1080i 25
    MPEG2 PAL DVD Widescreen
    and some other formats (can't exactly remember which).
    All of them ended with errors: "Error compiling movie", with cause unknown.
    So, I haven't been able to generate any movie and I can't find out why it fails.
    Any recommendations?
    Thanks,
    Michiel

    These are not specifically for PreElements, but since other Adobe products have the same "core" in many instances, worth reading
    As well as the below, right click the program icon and select Run as Administrator, which is NOT the same thing as running the computer with the Administrator account, and which fixes several "odd" problems...

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 11 & Photoshop Elements 11 Errors, Downloading Problems, Uninstalling probs

    On May 8, 2013 I ordered Adobe Premiere Elements 11 & Photoshop Elements 11. To this day they do not work properly, did not download properly, nor can I get them uninstalled properly to reinstall properly. I have not been able to contact Adobe all these months, & now they tell me I have to pay $39.00 more just to speak to them. I refuse to give them anymore money than I have already gave them! Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue? I currently  have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 & Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0. I was upgrading. 

    Thank you so much for replying. But I sort of solved the problem, yet I didn't solve the problem. I am running Windows 7 on my computer. When I purchased Elements & Premiere 11, I purchased a 1 time download from Adobe. Upgrading from 7.0. When I went to download it, then install it, it told me that through an error message, that it was not downloaded or installed correctly, so I would have to uninstall the whole thing & start from scratch, basically. So, I went into the control panel to delete the program. Hit uninstall, & it told me after it was done, that everything was not uninstalled & had uninstalled incorrectly. Now it was missing from the Control Panel, & I could not find the remains anywhere, I thought I would try to redownload it again. So, going through the process, it would let me download it, but it would not install due to the remains of the previous installation. I tried everything. And when I tried to go straight to Adobe, it was a no go. I put it on the back burner for months & used my 7.0 occassionally. Today I decided I wanted it fixed. I went to Adobe...my licenses are still in my account. But no matter what I did, it would not accept my old licenses. With the help of a previous poster, maybe on a different thread, I was able to uninstall the old program remnants. But I could still not download 11. I just decided to cut my loses, & purchased 12. I bought the trials, downloaded them, they worked great, & I purchased them. So, all's well that ends well. Of course, I am $170-some dollars in the hole, but whatever it takes. Again thank you for your reply to my delima.

  • By the today e-received updates for Adobe Photoshop Elemenst 12.1 and Adobe Premiere Elements 12.1 I got this error messages: Failure code = U44M1P2003. What to do? System = Window7 64bit.

    By the today e-received updates for Adobe Photoshop Elemenst 12.1 and Adobe Premiere Elements 12.1 I got this error messages: Failure code = U44M1P2003. What to do? System = Window7 64bit.

    Sometimes the Adobe servers used for the updates can get busy and it’s necessary to try a couple of times. Also make sure you don’t have a firewall which may be blocking the connection. It sometimes helps to temporarily disable internet security/anti-virus software. Because the Organizer is shared by both programs it often helps to do the PSE update first, followed by the PRE update in that order.
    Select the 12.1 update for PSE from the updater dialog and ensure everything else is unchecked.  Quit PSE and PRE if you have it running and then start the update.
    If PSE updates properly to 12.1 repeat the process for PRE.

Maybe you are looking for
