After 2 years Premiere Elements 9 not working

I bought a Dell desktop in 2012 and it came with Premiere Elements 9 installed.  Apart from some freezing and shutting down problems, the program has worked fine.  Just recently, however, the program stopped working.  I can get to the home screen, but when I try to open a new or existing file the program goes nowhere, almost as if it has gone into some kind of loop and it can't complete the opening of the project.
I have reinstalled twice but that hasn't fixed the problem.  I am running Windows 7 with 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1.  The system is x64 with 8gb RAM, and I currently have over 100 gb hard drive space free.  I feel like I've done all the basic fixes that a computer novice can do, but I'm not getting anywhere.  Any help would be appreciated. 
Thanks!

The troubleshooting basics for this might include:
1. Video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card/graphics card. (I am assuming you have just one card, not two. If otherwise, please let us know.)
2. Latest version of QuickTime.
3. Program running as Run As Administrator and from User Account with Administrative Privileges
If your video card/graphics card driver is up to date, then try deleting the BadDrivers.txt file.
Local Disc C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in the 9.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. Once you open the program again, the program will generate a new BadDrivers.txt file and hopefully the program is gone. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the whole path cited.
Have you tried to delete the Premiere Elements Settings File
Local Disk C
Users
Ower
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in the 9.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Make sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the whole path cited above.
Have you gone through the processes of getting rid of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files. See Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder, Media Cache Files Folder. Also, hit the Clean Button in the Media Cache Database area accessed from Edit Menu/Preferences/Media.
Are you working from the 9.0.1 Update version of Premiere Elements 9?
Please review and then let us know if any of the above had any impact on your issue.
Thank you.

  • Premiere Elements not working

    When starting, it reports Organiser Database missing or corrupt. When trying to create a new database, Adobe crashes and ends.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi AT,
    You mentioning the psa.prf file helped me in googling the steps you mentioned for other users on the forum, so thanks for that.
    Also your direct download link was helpful, as the package is not able to update from the help/update function.
    Any idea why the update functionality is not working properly?
    I still need another update for camera raw, for both photoshop and premiere. I found links for direct dowloads for versions 6.5 and 6.6. Also the direct links end in a crash, see attachment.
    Do you have suggestions?

    Great news. Great job in working through the details to get to the solution.
    I was waiting for more information from you so that I could give you version specific information on the how to.
    But you seemed to have found the paths needed without supplemental instructions.
    The two major troubleshooting tools that I would use when the Elements Organizer is involved
    a. delete the psa.prf file
    and/or
    b. create a new catalog.
    Best wishes as you move forward in your Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 projects.
    By the way, if you are not working from the 9.0.1 Update, good idea to do that.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4929
    You can do that update with the program closed....do not bother with Help Menu/Update for this update. Use the link instead.

  • Installation Adobe Premiere Elements not working

    I'm trying to install the Adobe Premiere Elements 13 but it's not working. I downloaded the file for the trial version, after downloading i also had to download something called Akamai netsession Client ? I dont know what it is, but i installed it as well. But everytime i want to open the setup it says that an error occurred. I cannot open adobe premiere elements, what should i do? i did the installation 4 times now, it's still not working

    Update:
    Bin soeben beim Installieren. Falls mal jemand das selbe Problem haben sollte... nach Installation von SP2 für Vista (dachte ich hätte das schon gehabt) und Benutzung der selben CD wie für die Installation von PSE 8 funzt es nun... Darauf muss man erstmal kommen... 2 Programme, 2 CD`s die Beide gleich aussehen... und da soll man 2 Mal die Selbe nehmen... egaaal.
    Thread könnt ihr, wenn ihr wollt schliessen.

  • Is Premiere Elements 8 working correctly for you?

    Sorry, to beat an old horse but I do not want to end a discussion that has not been resolved.
    I would like to keep this open as I think knowing who is having problems and on what type of video would be quite helpful to Adobe support who is looking to help me, they said they would be watching the forums and my posts to see what issues I and others are having to try and resolve them.
    I am not able to edit HD videos using Genius G-Shot HD520 camcorder but I am able to edit SD videos using Coby Snapp Cam3000.
    I can edit videos from both cameras in Windows Movie Maker and Cyberlink PowerDirector.
    When i try to edit videos that are high definition the program does not respond even after leaving it for 1/2 hour or so.
    I am also having the program not shut down correctly at times even when editing standard video, parts of the program still are running even though windows does not show it in task manager. A program called Winpatrol still sees it running and the core load shows way too much activity after the program has supposedly stopped, even an hour afterward. This does not happen all the time, only sporadically.
    My systems:
    amd athlon 64 X2 dual core 5000+ @ 3 Ghz, PNY NVIDIA 9800GTX+ graphics card(driver ver.195.81), gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 mobo, 4 GB RAM, Seagate 7200RPM sata drive with 200+ GB freespace, windows vista 32 bit business
    intel core2quad q6600 @ 2.4 Ghz, zotac NVIDIA 8800 GT graphics card(driver ver.195.81), ecs P45t-a mobo, 4 GB RAM, Seagate 7200RPM sata drive with 300 GB freespace, windows vista 32 bit premium
    Please help me get some useful information gathered for support to lead them in the right direction.
    PLEASE, no useless arguments or  troubleshooting attempts from those who are not running Adobe Premiere Elements 8.
    I would like to get some feedback from users of Adobe Premiere Elements 8, not others.
    1. Does Adobe Premiere Elements 8 work for you with standard videos for simple editing?
    2. Does PE 8 work with high definition video for simple editing?
    3. If you are having problems with PE 8 not working as it should what are they and how are you getting them resolved?
    I would like to get real problems that are things that the program should be doing and is not.
    Issues like freezing, not importing or exporting video or failing to edit a type of video is what I think support would like to hear about.
    Thank you.

    1. Does Adobe Premiere Elements 8 work for you with standard videos for simple editing?
         Never.  Crashes every single time I have tried to use the program.  It crashes at various random times on miniDV video from a Panasonic GS400.  Magix, PowerDirector and Widows MM edit this same source material without issue.  I have absolutely no interest in spending countless hours on the phone with a guy from India or wherever telling me to uninstall and reinstall the program or do a clean install of Windows, or reading something from a script that obviously has nothing to do with the problem, only to have the phone conversation cut off and it be impossible to reach the same person again, only to have to start over.  Here is the latest crash example.
    1.       Launched PRE8
    2.       Opened a project from the welcome screen.  Project consists of DV-AVI files from a Canon GS400.  Project is 23 minutes and 39 seconds in duration.
    3.       Resized the timeline using the “+” and “-“ clickies.
    4.       Clicked the Edit tab.
    5.       Clicked Transitions.
    6.       Clicked the existing “Stretch In” transition on Video Track 1 and pressed the “Delete” key.
    7.       Clicked and dragged the “Cross Zoom” transition between the first and second clip on Video Track 1, where the “Stretch In” transition was previously located.
    8.       Rendered the Timeline by pressing “Enter.”
    9.       Previewed the video near the newly added “Cross Zoom” transition.
    10.   Double clicked the transition in the Timeline and scrubbed the duration to approximately 5 and a half seconds.
    11.   Rendered the Timeline by pressing “Enter.”
    12.   Previewed the video near the just lengthened “Cross Zoom” transition.
    13.   Saved the project by pressing the “Save” icon near the top right hand corner of the program.
    14.   Clicked the “Disk Menus” and selected the “Holiday and Events” drop down.
    15.   Selected the “Blinking Lights” menu and clicked on “Apply.”
    16.   Clicked the “Preview” button.
    17.   Clicked “Play” in the “Preview” window and allowed the video to play for a few seconds and clicked “Pause ||”.
    18.   “X’ed” out of the “Preview” window and clicked the “Done” button.
    19.   Clicked the “Edit” tab and clicked “Clip Art.”
    20.   Scrolled down the “Clip Art” window and clicked and dragged the “Travel Compass” to Video Track 2 at the 56 second mark.
    21.   Rendered the Timeline by pressing “Enter.”
    22.   Previewed the video near the just-entered clip art.
    23.   Moved the Timeline indicator over the Travel Compass clip art in Video Track 2.
    24.   Right clicked the Travel Compass in the Preview window and changed the Magnification to 25%.
    25.   Clicked “Undo” 4 times and clicked “Redo” 4 times.
    26.   Rendered the Timeline by pressing “Enter.”
    27.   Right clicked the Preview window and changed the Magnification to “Fit.”
    28.   Previewed the Timeline near the Travel Compass clip art.
    29.   Selected the “Travel Compass” clip art in Video Track 2 and pressed “Delete.”
    30.   Went to pick up my daughter and returned 20 minutes later.
    31.   Rescued the laptop from sleep.
    32.   Clicked the Effects button.
    33.   Under “GPU Effects” clicked and dragged the “Ripple (Circular)” effect to the second clip on Video Track 1.
    34.   Rendered the Timeline by pressing “Enter.”
    35.   Scrubbed the Timeline to before the video clip with the recently added “Ripple” effect.
    36.   The program crashed without warning with the following Crash Data.

    2. Does PE 8 work with high definition video for simple editing?
    I have not tried hi def.
    3. If you are having problems with PE 8 not working as it should what are they and how are you getting them resolved?
    I am not getting them resolved.  I am posting to this forum seeking answers.  I have gone through all the proper Adobe channels with no results.  Check around for multiple threads.  I have sent numerous crash reports to Adobe with no response.  No one on this forum nor Adobe has been able to provide a solution that actually works.  Again, Adobe hasn't even tried.
    Everything I have stated in this thread is a fact and my actual experience, not speculation.  I too would like the thread to remain open in the hopes of a resolution.  Discourse should not be cut short because it goes against Adobe.  After all, this is a user to user forum that Adobe does not even monitor right, and we as a user group should seek and demand the truth and solutions without being sensored.  I have seen no behavior by anyone in any thread that I have been involved in that should have caused it to be locked.  I have seen healthy differences of opinion and a lot of useless informationas it relates to the problem at hand, but no discourse that was hostile or personal attacks that should have caused a lock.
    Below are my system specifications.

    •Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)

  • Will Premiere Elements 4 work with Windows 7?

    I am going to have to upgrade to Windows 7 from XP.  Will my Premiere Elements 4 work with Windows 7?

    Monoscope
    Premiere Elements 4 works great in Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit computer. I have been there and am doing that along with other versions of the program on the same computer.
    Do not go to the desktop icon for Premiere Elements 4 and set a compatibility setting in the Properties.
    Just make sure that you are running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges and perhaps also with a Run As Administrator (right click desktop icon, select Run As Administrator). Latest version of QuickTime remains a must.
    Does Premiere Elements 4 meet your video editing needs, feature-wise and otherwise? If so, stay with it. If not, explore the latest version 12 via a tryout from Adobe before any thoughts of purchase.
    The above is my take on your inquiry. Please let us know if you need clarification on anything written.
    Thanks.
    ATR
    Add On...If you need a computer environment with greater resources for your Premiere Elements workflows, then you need to look at specifically Premiere Elements 10, 11, or 12 specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.

  • Will Premiere Elements 12 work with the  NVIDIA GFORCE GT 820M GPU?

    I am researching new computers, and we want to buy Premiere Elements 12. The computer we are looking at comes with an NVIDIA GFORCE GT 820M GPU. This GPU does not appear in the list of "certified" GPUs on the Adobe web site. I was just wondering if Premiere Elements will work with this type of GPU?
    Thanks!

    mimisonia123
    What computer operating system is involved?
    With the exception of Premiere Elements 10, Premiere Elements works with most NVIDIA and ATI video cards/graphics cards.
    The CUDA cards for Premiere Pro do not apply to Premiere Elements which, since version 8.0/8.0.1, does not even have GPU effects or transitions.
    NVIDIA lists the GT820M as a "CUDA Enabled GeForce Product"
    CUDA GPUs
    GeForce 820M Dedicated Graphics | GeForce
    My answer to your question is a "probably yes" but CUDA Enabled is not applicable to Premiere Elements.
    Unless you get a definite answer from a Premiere Elements 12/12.1 user here who is using the card in his/her particular computer operating system with Premiere Elements 12/12.1, I would consider contacting NVIDIA for its input.
    Are you thinking about staying with Premiere Elements or going to Premiere Pro in the near future?

    Dear sir
    I bought my iPhone 4 from Apple store in Charlotte N/C about 2years ago without contract.
    Now I tried to upgrade it to iOS 7.0.4.but after that my phone not work with last sim card.
    And invalid sim appeared.so I bought it without contract but it seems to be lock in my country
    Please tell me whats the matter?
    My phone serial no  86034HTCA4T
    Modem firmware  04.12.09
    Thanks

    Without contract is not the same as unlocked. The update to iOS 7 relocked
    the iPhone to the wireless carrier to which it was originally locked. You must
    contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If you used jailbreak or other hack to unlock the iPhone initially, the method
    used may prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding and may render your
    iPhone unuseable.

    Ever since I updating my IPhone 4 to 5.1.1. my alert/banner does not work with my mail app. Initial startup it works but after that, it does
    not work. The only way I know there is a message by tapping on the mail app and then I hear the alert and the banner shows up. Prior
    to updating, it always worked. Is there a 'bug' in the system or is there something I am missing here.

    Yeah this was my first time connecting my phone to the computer since I went to iOS 5.0 and iCloud, so I wasn't familiar with the fact that it did not automatically create a backup on iTunes during the Sync process.  Should have right-clicked on the phone device and did a manual backup.
    But still, after restoring the backup from iCloud, I don't understand why data from certain apps got hosed (anything before October 2011, which was my last iTunes backup), while other apps' data appears to be fully intact.

    My Adobe Premiere Elements was working a little while ago -- nothing has changed on my PC -- now I get error 150:30

    seadrift
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what Windows computer are you running it?
    The 150:30 error is probably indicative of a licensing problem.
    How long has the problem existed?
    If it persists, please check out the following Adobe document related to troubleshooting this type of matter...perhaps starting with
    solution 2.
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
    Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
