Can't open Adobe Premeir Files after rebuilding computer

I had problems with my PC, so rebuilt it, and installed Windows 7 (it was XP SP3 beforehand). After installing Adobe Premeir Elements I now cannot open any previoulsy saved Premier Elements files. An error comes up saying 'this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed'. The HDD the files are on was not changed at all.
Anyone help? I need to compete a project, and do get back to where I was would take ages!
Many thanks in advance

An error comes up saying 'this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed'.
This error usually indicates that a previous CODEC is not currently installed in the new OS. CODEC's are installed at the system-level, so just having your media files, etc., on the HDD's will not help here. This ARTICLE will give you more background, and tips.
What CODEC is required? That can be found by running the AV files through a utility, like G-SPOT. You need to find that CODEC, download it, and install it.
Once, Windows OS's included many common CODEC's, with the installation. With Vista, things changed, and especially for the Home editions. One had to go to the MS Web site, and download and install the Vista CODEC pack. Do not know exactly what is/is not included in the Win7 installation, but there should be an MS CODEC pack for Win7, where those were missing. WARNING: I do not recommend any of the "free" CODEC "packs," available, other than the ones from MS. Those often cause real problems, and I avoid them completely. At the very best, they fill up one's system with outdated, never-used CODEC's, that have to load, and usually will overwrite good, commercial CODEC's with hacked, or reverse-engineered versions. At the worst, they install all sorts of "stuff," and to get rid of some of that, one needs to completely wipe the system HDD, reinstall the OS, after a complete format, and then reinstall all software.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - let us know what G-Spot says the CODEC's are, and someone can point you to the one(s), that you need.

  • Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

    I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • Preview can't open Adobe DNG files converted in snow leopard

    I have been unable under Snow Leopard 10.6 to use either 5.4 or 5.5 adobe dng converter to convert Leica RWL files to DNG files that are readable by Preview or by Aperture. Adobe CS4 can read these DNG files, but then it can read the RWL raw files as well.
    However, on my other mac using Leopard 10.5, the converted DNG files ARE readable by Preview and Aperture. Any thoughts or help?
    thanks

    The DNG converter is not a plug-in.  You need the Camera Raw update.  That may be your point of confusion.
    From this page:  Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    Direct download links for Camera Raw ... for Photoshop CS6:

  • I can't open adobe reader, even after re-installing.

    Everytime I try to open a pdf, i receive an error message saying 'Windows can not find 'C:XXXXXXX.pdf'. Make sure that you typed the name correctly, and then try again'.
    Running Windows 7 Professional. Tried to install both v11 and v10 Adobe Reader - still no success. Tired opening files from C and D drive files with same result.
    When trying to open up adobe reader from program files, i get the same error message. Something is blocking adobe reader from opening.

    This may happen due to messed up registry settings.
    Try uninstalling using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Reboot the system.
    Reinstall latest version from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Can't open a video file after Final cut export

    Very strange issue which getting me nuts.
    I've FCP 7 on Lion.
    I'm finishing a project and export it as it is on an external hard drive for back up.
    I've got a .MOV file.
    After that I'm making an other folder and export all the working file from FCP.
    End of the story.
    Later I want to open the Quic time video file... and then I've got an error message telling me that QT is looking for data of the video file "xyz-FIN-0000000e"
    There is only a STOP button.
    If I press it I've got a new error message telling me :
    The file "xyz-FIN-0000000e" can't be found. Without it the video can't be play correctly"
    (I'm translating the message from my french system)
    So I can find sometimes the files is asking from the other folder (the FCP back up files) and then it open it...).
    But WHY does the video file needs reference files ?
    It was an export and I ask the exporter to make a self movie...
    Realy I don't understand what's wrong.
    Any cue ?
    Thanks !
    Jean do

    Is this a Final Cut Pro .mov file. If it is it would open with FCP. Are you sure you saved with "self contained" checked. I seem to remember someone with a problem like this.
    I think in the future you need to open your exported self contained FCP.mov files with quicktime Player and change the "open with" to quicktime player.

    Marc, you might want to post this question in the Basis forum, or ask a moderator to move this thread. You'll most likely get more qualified responses there.
    SAP NetWeaver Application Server
    Also you might want to provide more details as to what kind of document you're trying to open (e.g. in what transaction). And, instead of posting the pictures, just specify the message text and/or message class and number (e.g. V1 100). The error messages are unreadable on your pictures.
    And, better yet, ask your manager to get a qualified Basis admin.

  • Can I delete Adobe downloaded files after installation?

    I've  just successfully installed Production Premium CS6 upgrade to my PC. I still have all of the files downloaded from this installation and previous downloads (LS7.7, set up folders, etc..). I've backed up
    all of these files. Do I still need them on my computer? I'd like to free up the disk space they are taking, I'm assuming they are not used as part of the program. thanks.

    If the install went fine and you backed them up, it is safe to delete them. Just to make sure, I'd start each program. due to licensing restrictions some components only run serialized and if you ever used a trial of any of the products, there may be a "post-install install" required to activate some of these features like e.g. mochaAE. In the past this was the case for all the MPEG CoDecs, also, though that particular limitation should not apply for CS6.

    Now I let the user to use Adobe Reader 9 but need to solve for him. As some pdf files are needed by newer Adobe Reader version.
    Please help to fix.   Many thanks.

    I have a similar problem - just posted this today, 5th July 2014. I get a message that says windows cannot find c:\programme files(x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd 32.exe.  Tried several uninstall/reinstalls with special programmes to check that uninstall was complete. Oddly, a download trial of the full programme Adobe Pro works OK !  If an expert out there can sort this it would be much appreciated.

  • Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hey ilyaz20360341,
    Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
    You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
    If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
    Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • I can not open adobe files. mainly ones that end in doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert .doc files

    I can not open adobe files that end in .doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert doc to pdf and I still cant open. I get an error reading.

    Hi,
    Which Adobe Service did you purchased?
    If you have purchased CreatePDF please visit: https://createpdf.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
    Sign in with your Adobe ID and password, and then convert your word doc into PDF.
    Please let me know if that works.
    If you have Adobe Reader, you cannot convert .doc file to .PDF by drag and drop.
