HELPPPP!!!  PE7 STILLLLLL Crashing!!!! What can I do now?

I have been reading for about three days and trying everything recommended to stop PE7 from crashing.  I am working with a Dell XPS M1530
Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1   Rating 5.1 Windows Exp. Index   Intel (R) Core (TM)2 Duo CPU  T9300 @ 2.50GHz  4.00GB RAM  32 bit operating system.  What did I leave out???  Anyway, I am using Adobe PE7 and it has been working ok up to this point.  I have been experimenting with it since I got it Dec 08.  It weren't so bad with the crashing until I started using a lot of effects.  The project is only about 7 minutes and I am using a lot of croping and videos within a video for ex.  On the timeline I have a video running in Video 1.  I have muted the original sound added background music.  Slowed the clip to slow motion and then I bring in another clip on Video 2.  I crop the first video so they are both showing at the same time.  I use several different effects and transitions throughout and it is now crashing 2-3 minutes after opening PE7 making it extremely difficult to finish the project.  I need this by tommorrow.  I have:
#1  Tried to re-create the Styles folder on Windows Vista:
Close Premiere Elements.
Choose Start > Documents.
Navigate to Documents\Adobe\Premiere Elements\7.0.
Rename the Styles folder to Old Styles.
Start Premiere Elements. Premiere Elements will create a new Styles folder.
I did this to eliminate problems that a damaged styles data file might have caused.
#2 Tried to use Robert's hack for creating a proxy editing environment. I did not know what I was doing so this did not work too good.
#3 Optimized Vista to squeeze all the juice from my system.
#4 Went to Windows Update and updated every available update.
#5  Downloaded the latest Quicktime.
#6  Defragmented
#7  Inserted 8gb flash and opted to increase the memory.
Nothing is working.  Nothing. Nothing.  Can anyone suggest anything that can help? 

1) It sounds as though you are editing AVCHD. Is that the case? If so, is your project set up as an AVCHD project?
2) You say you've got the latest Windows Updates. Might be worth manually returning to the site. You should be up to at least SP2 at this point.
3) Have you tried Eelco's hack for putting more of your programming into upper RAM?

AVCHD is the hardest format to edit. In fact, even quad core processors are challenged by it. This could be why your editing goes well until you add an effect to it. It's a shame, but at least on PCs, the hardware and software has not caught up with this intensive video format. (On Macs, Final Cut software uses an intermediate codec, which makes editing this format easier.)
Also there are variations of MP4 video that Premiere Elements can not handle at all. AVCHD Lite, for instance, and video from Flip cameras. These formats are a whole different issue.

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    Hi everyone!

    The same thing happend with my IPAD....

    I want to mention that i have 2 email adresses asociated with the same Apple ID.

    Thanks a lot!

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

    Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
    If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

    Hossein,
    As Guido said, you can  use BootCamp to partition the drive. If you want to install, or reinstall Windows. You would launch BootCamp and it will actually guide you through the installation, you will only need to decide how large a partition you want. I would use BootCamp, I would not use disk utility. When you have installed Windows and you want to boot into windows, when you start your MBP hold down the option key, this will give you trha option of booting Mac OSX or Windows.

    Probably wasn't a good idea to install beta software on a device when you're not a developer.
    Apple clearly states that beta software is not to be installed on production devices.
    Not really much you can do except wait for iOS 6.1 to be officially released and then install it.

    why can't you install it?
    if it's because you've used your max of 2 current activations and need to deactivate (and you'll see that message if that's the problem), contact adobe support - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html
    otherwise, explain.

  • What can i use now instead of iweb?

    I know Apple did away with iweb some time ago, but what can I use now to create a simple website using mac templates?

    Apple have not 'Done away with iWeb' as you put it.  They are no longer supporting it and no longer upgrading it, but this DOES NOT mean that you can't still use it to create websites with.
    Apple stopped supporting it sometime ago now, but it is an application like any other that you have and if you have it on your Mac, then you can still use it - it works with both Lion and Mountain Lion and if you want it you can still get it, but you'll have to purchase it from Amazon as part of either the iLife 11 or iLife 09 boxed set.
    If you really want to use other software, which you don't need to take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Express and Pro 6, Flux 4 and Quick n' Easy Website Builder.  Most, if not all of these have free month long trials where you can download and try before you buy.
    As well as these, you have other options such as the online web site builders such as http://www.wix.com or http://www.weebly.com, or the CMS's (Content Management Systems) that you can install directly on your host/server and include http://drupal.org and http://joomla.org amongst others.
    Rage software are also producing their own version of iWeb called EasyWeb - however, all first reports would seem to suggest that you won't be able to purchase this software on its own when it is released - it will initially be tied to Rage web hosting, so you would need to purchase this first to be able to use EasyWeb.
    However, if you still have iWeb then use it for as long as it works and don't look elsewhere.  Just because iWeb is no longer sold or supported by Apple does not mean that you can't still use it - you most certainly can.

    Return it to the store where you purchased & get your money back. Either that, or call the store. No one here can help you, as there is no one from Apple here.

    Mifi devices are usually quite small. Think Credit Card size, and maybe slightly thicker. So not really a big device you need to carry around.
    In any case if you are still within the 14 day return period you may be able to return it to an Apple retail store. It needs to be an Apple Owned store, not sure Authorized Resellers will let you do it.
    Other than that, bob points out, you may want to try to use the iPhone as a hotspot for the iPad.  If your Carrier supports it.  Like the Mifi device, the iPhone will share its cellular internet connection out to other devices over a Wireless network the iPad can use.
