AE CS5 stops @ 'Initializing Mediacore' Windows 7

I'm currently trying out the trial edition of After Effects CS5, and all was going well. I was learning how to do Typographys and other animations. Til just recently, AE wouldn't load. The Splash Screen would come up and it would reach 'Initializing Mediacore' and it would just stop and not respond.
Now I have done my research and tried countless different thing to make it work.
I've tried:
Reinstalling Quicktime.
Downgrading Quicktime to 7.3
Reinstalling AE CS5
Restarting Computer
System Restore to when it was working
Disabling Firewall and Norton Firewall
Running as administrator
Using a different user account to trying running AE
Removing all the files in the mediacore folder
Removing all 3rd Party Codecs (Never had any)
The thing is, I did stop using AE for about a week and in that week I installed two big programs, avast! and ZoneAlarm Free Firewall, I have uninstalled both completely but still no luck.
Adobe Premier Pro too is not working and is getting stuck on 'Loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.prm.
Computer:
Windows 7
4.00 GB Ram
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz
64-bit Operating System
How do I fix this annoying problem?
Thank you.

Adobe Premier Pro too is not working and is getting stuck on 'Loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.prm.
Pretty clear...?! I would assume your virus scanner/ firewall have done something weird to specific Quicktime components and they are permanently flagged or their permissions have been set in such a way that they cannot be accessed. Those tools may also have enabled DEP and ADSLR, which are not compatible with QT and iTunes. Similar could have happened with some recent Windows Updates or QT itself. In any case, I don't see an easy way to fix this. There is certainly something wrong, be it just some Registry key or on the file level. The only way to get to the bottom of this, short of a full W7 reinstall, is to use Sysinternals' Process Monitor, set it to filter on AE and monitor which files and reg keys it accesses. The only other thing might be some issues with QT's hardware acceleration and legacy CoDec compatibilty and that only takes a short trip to the QT system control panel...

Cs5 freezes on initializing mediacore

after effects cs5 freezes on initializing mediacore...pleasehelp...i have through tons of stuff online on solvin the issue done all of them and nothing worked in my case. and i have been using cs5 for sometime on my pc...am using windows 7,64bit..and have xilisoft video conerter installed..if it might help...i usind the cs cleaner tool ....removed quicktime, quit qt32server...plus the opposite..i logged in with another account same issue......and i have installed and reinstalled appropriately like a dozen times.....please help......

Have you flushed the media cache? If not, try that. Also trash the prefs. Other than that I'm not sure what to advise, but perhaps your system event viewer may provide some details abouzt those crashes.

Initializing mediacore... how do I return CS5???

Not that I want to... but so far I have gotten NO help from adobe on this issue and can't find a solution.
I have both CS4 and installed CS5 on to my W7-64 system. AEFX CS4 work fine. CS5 stalls on Initializing MediaCore and then after 10 min it starts but says QT components not installed (but are). Funny thing is that if I create a new user profile and log in, AEFX CS5 starts fine. I don't get it... I have tried some of the solutions noted in various posts, but to no avail. I have:
- uninstalled and re-installed
- pulled out plug-in folder
- started in safe mode
- deleted preferences folder
- started AE as Admin
NOTHING IS WORKING AND I NEED THIS TO WORK IN MY CURRENT MAIN USER PROFILE!!!
Please, please, please ADOBE help me!!!!!
Thanks,
Todd

You don't have proper permissions to load system drivers and start services, most likely. I suggest you do a little reading here. This should give you the right idea what to change and where to look. If managing services manually doesn't help, changing your group policies (gpedit.msc) is the otehr alternative, at the cost of reducing system security, because you need to include your user to allow meddling with system services, even if not admin...

After Effects freezes, and "Initializing MediaCore" issue.

I've been looking around for hours to solve this problem but I can't fix it...
I have been using AE CS5 for almost a year without a problem but the other day it suddenly frooze and now every time I try to start CS5 it freezes when "initializing mediacore" in the splash frame. Sometimes after restarting the computer I am able to start CS5 but it then freezes after a coulpe of minutes and then I can't start it again...
I've read about the mediacore issue but I can't solve it, my firewall in deactivated...so there shouldn't be a problem with it stopping ae from communicating with QT?
Also I've tried installing an older CS3 version, it starts, but keeps freezing at the same place everytime I try to render my project...
Any that knows how to fix this?
Im using OSX version 10.6.8, 3.06 GHz i3, 4GB 1333MHz DDR3, the latest Quicktime

Thanks for your time guys!
When I took a closer look at the QT files i realized I'd been in the wrong Library/Quicktime...
So how do I know which files to keep? Just trial and error until it works or do you know which files specifically should be there as default?
thanks again

After Effects CS6 - Initializing Mediacore Issue - More Complex.

Hi, I recently got After Effects CS6, and I have had the program open a few times - when I say a few, I mean 4 or 5, all in the same day, and I was only opening and closing the program to check to see if I'd installed plugins correctly. So, anyway back to the point; I sat and created a 10 second clip for which I was going to use for a YouTube intro. I finished and exported the clip, only to find that after I had saved and closed the program, the clip I had exported was some form of .AVI that had encoded incorrectly (or something similar, this part isn't particularly relevant.) Then when I tried to re-open AE, the program hung at the 'Initializing Mediacore...' section of the loading screen, and it has done for a while now. I have tried restarting, re-installing, removing the 3rd-party plugins, and re-intalling QuickTime. I've been reading all the forums and looked up the issue on YouTube, and all the answers are wrong or lacking information about my issue. Every working answer I find is either about about a Mac issue, or any Windows issue keeps mentioning these 3 programs; Adobe QT32 Server.exe, dynamiclinkmanager.exe, and PProHeadless.exe, none of which I have.
I run a 64-bit, Windows 7, Acer Aspire with 4 GB of RAM. Any helpful - emphasis on the helpful there - information will be greatly accepted.
Cheers.

The executables are in the program directories. Still, none of that is probably relevant. Something is damaging your media cache and/or blocking those services from even launching, which takes us back to basic trobleshooting steps which are:
Run as admin
Turn off security tools
Verify file and folder permissions on the temp and user directories
Cehck drive integrity and health

Adobe After Effects CS 5 and CS 5.5 Freezes (Initializing MediaCore)

For about 3 days now my adobe after effects cs5 and cs5.5 freezes with "Initializing MediaCore".
I tried reinstalling, changing a bunch of things, disabling my firewall, etc.
Before it was not freezing at all, but I think the problem is because I have too much fonts, could it be the problem ? I installed about 15, 000 fonts and then it keeps freezing.
Please help me,
Maxime.

I installed about 15, 000 fonts and then it keeps freezing.
RLY? That's bordering on being certifiable for the asylum! Even print people never use that many. Sure, it could be a huge part of the problem - there may be damaged/ "bad" fonts among them or the sheer number could consume tons of memory. Really, get rid of 99% of them. Not only is it a hinderance in your work, but just using insane numbers of typefaces doesn't compensate for any typographic deficiencies. How many fonts do you intend on using, after all? Other than that MediaCore issues could point to corruptred media caches, so flush them. also check your CoDec setup. If you have installed some equally unnecessary CoDec packs as you have done with fonts, get rid of them...

Hi my abode photoshop cs 5.1 stop working for windows 7

abode photoshop cs5.1 stop working for windows 7 error

I have a subwoofer and 5 speakers (2 for front, 2 for rear, 1 for center)...Philips MMS460 5.1. Connection to the on-board RealTek HD Audio is simple, orange for the subwoofer, green for front and black for rear.I have already tried downloading the latest drivers from the motherboard manufacturers website,I have tried connecting the subwoofer connectors to different jacks (reversed black and green).
I have experimented with the settings in the RealTek HD Audio Manager and Control Panel->Sound windows. Nothing works.
These exact same subwoofer and speakers worked perfectly fine in vISTA Home basic
1. Disconnect the speaker system from the pc rear audio panel
2. Remove the on-board audio using the "Add or Remove Hardware" option in Control Panel
3. Reboot the pc, install the driver. Re-connect the speaker system.
4. Using the Sound applet found in Control Panel, configure the speakers for surround sound
5. Reboot the pc.
And now resume all of that ...i have been on Realtek hd audio manager->Speaker configuration set on 5.1 making the test ...EVERITHING WORKS FINE but ...finally when i open for example WINAMP AND PLAY A SONG ....is only played on front *or stereo..So on what im wrong?

CS5 freezes on startup (Windows 7)

I'm considering making the jump from Vegas Pro 8 to Premiere. Downloaded the 30-day Trial for PPro CS5; it installs fine, but freezes on startup.
I've read everything I can find on this, tried all the ideas I've come across, but still no go; so I'm looking for more ideas!
THE FAILURE:
On launch, PPro displays the splash screen, whizzes through all the plugin loading, draws the main UI background, draws the main menubar text... then freezes up. It never crashes, just stops drawing and stops responding to Windows. Same results from both 5.0 and 5.0.2.
THE HARDWARE:
Asus Sabretooth x58 motherboard
Core i7 960 CPU (quad-core @ 3.2GHz)
12GB RAM
Dual-SSD main drive (RAID-0 on SATA-6Gb/s)
GeForce 9800GTX video card
Onboard Realtek HD Audio
THE SOFTWARE:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (with all system software updates)
Nvidia drivers 260.99 (latest, 10/16/2010)
OS was installed about a month ago, so it's pretty clean.
WHAT I'VE TRIED:
Ran DXDIAG - No errors found.
Deleted PPro Prefs
Checked PPro logs - no errors found
Installed latest Nvidia drivers
Removed Nvidia drivers (back to Win 7 default drivers)
Ran as admin
Removed fonts
No Quicktime Installed
Installed Quicktime (7.6.8)
Disabled second monitor
Disabled antivirus/firewall (Symantec Endpoint Protection)
Installed Combined Community Codec Pack
Removed CCCP
Removed virtual DVD software (Virtual CloneDrive)
Removed DVD burning software (ImgBurn)
What else am I missing? It's probably something obvious and dumb and I'm just looking around it. Any other info that would help? I could post my DXDIAG results, but I didn't see anything relevant in there.
Thanks a ton for any help!

Installing Bulk Codec Packs has been an issue of many systems around here.
Do a little search in this Forum eg "CODEC PACKS"
Can you try uninstalling it and see how things work for you. Common advice and wisdom seems to be that it is difficult to do and often requires a reinstall of the O.S as well as the Adobe software. Hope thats not so for you.

Initializing MediaCore CS6 Freeze

On starting After Effects CS6 on my MacBook Pro, it perpetually hangs at "Initializing MediaCore" and will not start up.
I've checked system updates for OS X and all the Adobe CS6 Apps (I'm using Creative Cloud), and all is up-to-date. Removed all my third-party plug ins, and uninstalled and re-installed After Effects--each time rebooting the machine. Nothing seems to fix the problem.
I've seen a few similar threads for CS5, but no suggestions seem to fix the problem.
Anyone else have this problem w/ AE CS6? Or (hopefully) found a solution?
Thanks!

I am having the same problem. Although I have uninstalled "Perian", which I didn't know I had. But when I spotlighted it, it came up in my "system preferences pane" with an uninstall button. SO I uninstalled it and tried to restart AE. But it still hangs at "Initalizing MediaCore". I did a permissions repair and restarted. But still it hangs at the same spot. This just started two days ago. I have not loaded any other plug-ips or add on's. I am using CS6 Production Suite. On a Mac Pro 2x3 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon, with 16 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-Dimm. Running 10.7.5 Lion. And as luck would have it, I'm on a deadline. I saw the Media Encoder comment and wanted to go that route, but now I can't get back in. It's just hung at this part of the loading process.

Photoshop cs5 stops working

Hi all,
Automated batch from Bridge tools>photoshop>batch Photoshop cs5 stops working. Automated actions work in Photoshop. All other Photoshop process work from Bridge. I use a PC with windows. This happens even with files I was previously able to do an automated batch with Photoshop. It doesn't matter what the file extension is. This has only recently begun happening for no apparent reason.

I can't open Itunes on my laptop. "Itunes has stopped working. A problem causes the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" is the message. what is the problem here?

I can't open my Itunes program in my laptop computer with windows 8. the message is "Itunes has stopped working. A problem causess the program to stop working properly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I reboot the machine, Uninstall and re install the Itune program, stilll the same message pops up.

The first thing to try is System Restore to take you back to a point in time when it did work. If that is not successful, create a new user on the computer. log in with that and see if ID will start. This will tell us if the problem is in the system/program or the user account.
If it works in a new user account, see Replace Your Preferences and in addition to replacing the prefs, empty the InDesign Recovery folder that will be in the same location and the InDesign SavedData file.

I see a small window displaying "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now". How do I stop appearing this window

I see a small window displaying "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now". How do I stop appearing this window

Is this after you've chosen to Shutdown from the Menu, or just on it's own?
You can press the esc key to cancel, or Enter key to shutdown.
Check your System Preferences>Energy Saver>Schedule & see if it's set to shutdown at a certain time.
