Elements 7 minimizes on file load

Hello,
Hoping someone can help. I have PE 7 and on my desktop and have used it without any significant issue for the last year. My system is XP 3.3. GHz 2GB Ram. While not an ideal setup, the program has worked fine until today. About to work on a new file, I decided to delete all of the video files out of my organizer today (elements was up and running...I just selected the files, hit delete, etc), closed the program and then went back to it later. Now, when I open a .prel file or try to create a new one, it starts to load (or create) and then all of a sudden the window minimizes. I click on the minimized window to bring it back up and it won't do anything..stays minimized. I hit ctrl-alt-del to see if it is listed as running or not responding and it says running. If I right-click on the minimized window and hot "close" it closes instead of saying it is not running and getting the "end now" option.
I tried rebooting, etc. and still same thing. Premiere Elements will load, and then once I create new file or edit existing, the entire program minimizes and esentially "freezes"
Any ideas on what would be causing this?! The program cannot be run at all now.
Thanks in advance!

I continue to have this problem. And I've already tried updating Quciktime which did not solve the problem. I also do not have any malware or software that is conflicting, nor have I made changes to my system that would cause this to happen. The software works fine for a time, then upon exit or sometimes crash something happens to the project file and when trying to reopen it just stays minmized.
The only solution I have found is deleting the project file and starting over - a major loss of work and time.
I am a software developer myself and this problem reeks of file corruption, possible due to a handling or auto-save issue. I appreciate any help or other suggestions not already tried, but this really does feel like a bug.

Refer to an object in Edge from an onclick="" in a .html file loaded into an iFrame in the animation

HI, I am trying to figure out the Edge hierachies by stumbling my way through coding reference attempts. I've hit a wall...
How can I refer to an object and a global function in my Edge animation from an onclick="" located in an .html file loaded into an iFrame created within the master/parent Edge animation. Here's what I have...
My main index.html is an Edge animation. One object <div> is a box created within Edge. I have added an iFrame with the Edge code:
sym.$("MenuPanelScreen").html('<iframe src="list_images_cemetery.html" width="267" height="670" sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation"></iframe>');
That .html file which loads into the iframe within the animation contains thumbnails in <a> tags and contain onclick="" statements that should call a function within the Edge file.
Eventually, I want the statements to read something like... onclick="changePic('Dragon.jpg', 'The Dragon', 'Saint and Worm')"
However, I had no idea how to reference the changePic() function in the Edge animation. So, just to figure out how to reference the parent animation from an html in an iFrame, I change the onclick="" statements to...
<a onclick="alert('Try to hide Nameplate'); sym.$('NamePlate_sym').hide();" > <img src="gallery/TheyGaveUpTheirDead.jpg" width="80" alt="Angel and Worm" /></a>
I first wanted to see if I could hide an Edge Symbol or div/element from the child html. I tried the following...
onclick="alert('Try to hide Nameplate'); sym.$('NamePlate_sym', window.parent.document).hide();"
I tried a few other variations that I won't bore you with. Can someone help me with the proper reference to effect an Edge element?
Furthermore, I eventually wnat the onclick="" statement to reference a global function on attached to the Edge stage in the compositionReady event of the stage. The function is...
window.changePic=function(myFileCurr, myLabelCurr, myDescriptionCurr) {
alert("in changePick");
document.getElementById("myImage").src="gallery/"+myFileCurr;
document.getElementById("myImageLabel").innerHTML=myLabelCurr;
document.getElementById("myImageDescr").innerHTML=myDescriptionCurr;
I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Please forgive my ignorance. i am just getting back into coding and learning the intricacies of Jscript and jQuery. Thanks!

Hi again Elaine,
I actually had some success after many attempts with using your code. I can control the .stop() and .play() of the "NamePlate_sym" symbol. Yet, I am still having trouble doing anything else with it. I cannot .hide() it, nor use .html("Change text") on another element on the stage called"Rectangle". If I can accomplish that and all a global function on the stage, I'm in good shape.
I placed the following script in the header of the .html file that gets loaded into the iFrame within the Edge composition:
<script type="text/javascript">
   window.parent.AdobeEdge.bootstrapCallback(function(compId) {
   comp = window.parent.AdobeEdge.getComposition(compId).getStage();
   alert("CompID is "+compId);
   var symbol = document.createElement('div');
   symbol.innerHTML = 'Rotate';
   symbol.style.cssText = 'background-color:#fea; width: 50px; text-align: center;';
   symbol.style.cursor = 'pointer';
   symbol.onclick = function() {
    if (comp.getSymbol("NamePlate_sym").isPlaying()) {
     comp.getSymbol("NamePlate_sym").stop();
    else {
     comp.getSymbol("NamePlate_sym").play();
   window.parent.document.body.appendChild(symbol);
        </script>
Once I put window.parent. in the first two lines of code and the last, my test worked. As I mentioned earlier though, I still can't get the syntax correct to .hide() an element (i.e. comp.getSymbol("NamePlate_sym").hide(); does not work), or more importantly, change the innerHTML value of an element on the stage. The code either does nothing or freezes.
Thanks... Tommy

Premiere Elements 8 won't load recently saved project

I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 8 to create a highlight video. I made two videos last year and didn't have this problem but this video is slightly longer. About twenty minutes total consisting of approximately 100 video clips. I've added one more group of clips and not when I try to load the saved project I just get a gray blank screen. The load message finishes but nothing appears. The drop down menus are mostly still grayed out. No good selections except to press load project again. This causes a system error that shuts down the application. Any tips or tricks are appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave Flick

Bill, here is the good news.
I updated the Quick Time like you suggested but no help. I updated the video driver but no help. I disabled the hardware acceleration but no help. During this time I realized the problem started after I upgraded McAfee. I remembered the new McAfee Real Time scanning effected my Outlook software. So I disabled the McAfee Real Time scanning and then Premiere Elements 8 would successfully load my saved project. What a relief. I went back and Turned On the McAfee Real Time scanning but changed the setting to only scan programs and documents, not all files as previously set. I'm back in business and really appreciate your help. Thanks a million.

Hi,
Please try resetting preferences?
On Windows: Goto %appdata%\Adobe\Elements Organizer\12.0\Organizer folder and rename the files “psa.prf” (to say psa_old.prf) and “status.dat” (to say status_old.dat).
Try launching Organizer and see if it launches fine.

Premiere Elements 9 - Common file types (AVI, JPG, MP3, etc.) not recognized

I just recently upgraded my system to Windows 7 64 bit (with 8 GB of RAM), and loaded the Photoshop/Premiere Elements 9 combo pack. I have run both versions 7 and 8 in the past with only minimal memory issues under Vista 32 bit with 4 GB of RAM, but no issues as far as loading AVI's, jpgs, mp3s, wav, etc file types. With this new version Photoshop Elements appears to work ok, but in Premiere Elements, I can not load any common file types without getting the error "Generic Failure - This type of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed". The other issue is that after I load the media from a given folder on my main drive "C", it's looking for the media in a folder on my "D" drive??? I tried to work this out through customer support, but was unsuccessful. This last time I called, they wanted to charge $24 for the call. I complained to the support person that they had never really solved my issue on previous calls so he suggested using the forum. Has anyone run into these issues?
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the software and have loaded all of the current updates, but I am not able to use Premiere Elements in it's current state. Any help will be appreciated...(note, this is the only application that I am currently having issues with on my upgraded system - all other software - probably 25 plus apps including Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum v 10, which I may have to switch to entirely, appear to be working well).
Thanks in advance for your help!

For the CODEC issue, it could well be that your new OS is lacking some of those on the previous, though that would not explain the JPEG, for instance.
Going back, Windows would automatically install many CODEC's, including all the MS CODEC's. With some versions of Vista, one had to manually download and install a Vista CODEC pack. Now, I have a strong aversion to downloading any non-MS CODEC "packs," and would urge you to think long and hard before doing such.
If you do not have G-Spot, a great, free utility, I'd get it, and see which CODEC's are installed.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - for any error messages that you get with any of the Adobe CODEC's, see this ARTICLE.

Premiere elements 11 won't load

Premiere element 11 will not load on my Windows 7 PC. Running the adobe premier elements11.exe file has no effect at all.
Any help would be gratefully received!

philw_45
Did we establish yet if this is a "it worked before but not now problem" or "it never worked" type problem?
Given you have Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 (presumed 64 bit)...
Make sure that Premiere Elements 11 is closed. Right click the Taskbar, select Task Manager/Processes, and do an End Process for any Adobe Premiere Elements process that you find opened.
Make sure that you are working with the Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active.
Then...
Go to
Local Disk C
Program Files
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and, in the 11.0 folder, find the files named Adobe Premiere Elements 11.exe and Adobe Premiere Elements.exe. Double click the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file and see if Premiere Elements 11 opens. If it does, create a desktop shortcut for it and open the program from it. That choice will have you bypassing the Welcome screen when you open the program.
If the idea goes nowhere in the direction of a solution....
Do the deletion of the BadDrivers.txt file via
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and in the 11.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete.
and
Make sure that you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements.
Make sure that you are running the program as Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative
Priviledges.
If no success, at this point, Help Menu/Deactivate within the program, close the program, do an uninstall in Control Panel area,
use ccleaner on the system, then reinstall the program with firewalls and anti-virus disabled. Speaking of anti-virus, at the
very beginning of all this, you might want to disable the anti-virus to determine if it or one of its updates has gotten you into
your present situation.
An, if all else has failed to work, there is always creating a new User Account with Administrative Priviledges and just opening the program there.
Let us review the results from the above and then decide what next if necessary..
Thanks.

Add On...My desktop and laptop both have Intel HD Graphics and present no issues on Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8 64 bit with a variety of Premiere Elements programs.

ELEMENTS 12 WILL NOT LOAD

Elements 12 will not load. I get a windows dialog box that tells me a problem caused it not to load and they are searching for a solution that never eventuates. Is it possible to delete the programme and reload from adobe or is there another solution?

Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
C: >> Program Files (x86) >> Adobe >> Photoshop Elements 12
Within the Photoshop Elements 12 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor (the application not the Adobe shortcut)
Select that file and click Next.
Then click Finish.
You should now be able to launch by right-clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen. Try choosing “Run As Administrator” That often improves stability.

Why do we minimize windows file cache?

Hi,
Can anybody please explain why do we minimize the windows file cache?
help.sap.com has the below lines..
"The Windows file cache directly competes with SAP programs for physical memory by pushing them out of the memory. Therefore, you should minimize the file cache"
Can anybody explain what does this exactly mean?
Thanks,
Debasis.

Hi Debasis,
when I first read your question I thought:
"This must be a joke-question! Surely nobody who has to deal with highly complex system landscapes like the ones NetWeaver makes necessary would have a real issue with understanding this basic concept!"
But on the other hand, we all started working in this business with more or less sound knowledge about the technical foundations that influence the systems we work with.
So, here is my try on this:
Main memory (in most computers today also known as RAM) is a resource to store data shared among all programs that run on that computer at the same time.
The SAP NetWeaver workprocesses (disp+work.exe) are such programs. And the Windows filesystem management is also a kind of program in that sense.
Both of these two programs need RAM to do their work. The more memory they get, the better they can do their work.
If you decide to install NetWeaver to a computer the documentation developers assumed, that this will be the main use for this computer. For example, they did not expect that you use the same computer as a file- or print server or webserver or server for anything else (although this would be possible).
Therefore it was decided that, to make the NetWeaver program work best, it would be best to give it as much resources (like RAM) as possible. Obviously this means that these resources have to be taken from other programs, just like the filesystem cache of Windows.
And there we are: by reducing the file cache of the Windows server we allow other programs (like our NetWeaver) to use more RAM for it's own purposes.
Usually there are not so much 'file actions' on a server where NetWeaver is running that this is a problem. Most of the data processed in a workprocess is read over the network from the database and stored back to it, so no need to keep a big cache for 'file actions'.
If your question just refered to the "pushing out of the memory" part, no problem either!
As you may have realized by know the demand for RAM is large. In fact its so large, that most often it is too expensive to buy as much RAM for a computer as it would be needed to fullfill all the demand.
Fortunately, not all data stored into the RAM is needed all the time. Actually, most parts of it are not used for most of the time. This characteristic of the demand for RAM opens the opportunity to save parts of the data in the RAM into a file (no, you won't need the filesystem cache for this file ) and thereby make space for other data to be stored in RAM.
This functionality is also called 'paging' as the data is written to disks in chunks which are called 'pages'.
Ok, with this faboulous feature we got the option to put more data into the RAM than we actually have installed into our computer, which is really great.
Unfortunately when we want to access our data again, it has to be loaded back from disk into memory. And for that some other part of the data in RAM needs to be saved to disk first to make space for the data we want to access.
This 'writing out - reading in' of data takes time. Programs like the workprocesses need to wait until the operating system has done this for them. Until this is done, they can basically do nothing than wait - and so can the users that see a 'hourglass' mousepointer when they called a new transactiom.
So 'paging' is really bad for the system performance and for the response times of the system.
Therefore it is usally wanted to keep this paging down on a level where it does not affect the workprocesses too badly.
And this can only be done by either putting more RAM into the machine or reducing the demand for RAM - which is done e.g. by minimizing the filesystem cache.
I hope this lengthly explanation helped you to get the idea.
Best regards,
Lars

Help! Premiere Elements 7 won't load project

Premiere elements 7 won't load my project. Icon just spins - for about 10 minutes - then it freezes. Figures that I am so close to finishing!!! What are my options? Can I copy the project and open on another computer? Can I download a newer version of Pre and upload the unifinshed project?? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, PrE does not offer that many options, if a Project goes "off."
However, these would be my first steps, and pretty much in this order:
Go to the PrE AutoSaves, and change the View to Details, so you can see the Dates/Times. Try Opening the very latest one. Note: if you have not changed the default, there should be five AutoSave files, and they should be located in the PrE AutoSave folder, in the Project's heirarchy. You want the latest one, not the one with the highest increment. AutoSave 03 could be newer, than AutoSave 05.
If that does not work, then try this - Move your Assets to a new location. Then, Open your original Project. As it loads, you should be presented with "Where is file _____?" and that is what you want.Here is the tricky part. If you have many Assets, and hopefully they are in the same folder, or a few folders, and not spread around the system. I would move all Video Assets to a Video folder, all stills to a Stills folder, all Audio to an Audio folder, etc. as you want to isolate things. When presented with the "Where is file ____?" navigate to the folder with that file, and locate it. PrE will then relink to all used Assets in that folder. This is why I would segregate Assets by type, to isolate the problem, if possible. If all of your Video files load fine, you will get a "Where is file ____?" for the stills, or the music, and repeat. If the Project fails on one Asset type, then you have located the bad Asset by type, and can repeat the exercise, by segregating each file in that Asset type, to a unique folder, navigating to each folder, when prompted, until you find the bad Asset.
In the tests above, never do a Save, but only a Save_As, so as to not overwrite the original PREL file.
Good luck, and hope that it is a bad Asset, and nothing more.

Photo Elements 11 fails to load and rolls back when it starts 'installing shared services'

Photoshop Elements 11 fails to load and rolls back as soon as it switches to 'installing shared services'. How can I overcome this? Premier Elements is already loaded and works fine including the Organiser. Photo Elements 10 is still on the system and also works fine.
System - Windows 7 OS1

Hello
I have tried that previously, it didn’t work then and it doesn’t now.
What I have just done is run the installation until it came up with the error message and killed the set-up file & windows installer. Photoshop elements seems to be almost installed. Organiser works for both Premier & Photoshop. What files etc would have been loaded from the point of the error message? The installation worked on a borrowed laptop (on 30 day trial). Hopefully all I need to do is copy the missing files across if you could advise what they are.

Last columsn with Key figures (history qty)
Hope this helps.
