"Incompatible display driver", but driver is current. Can't open Premier Elements 12. What do I do.

The directions to the BadDrivers.txt file for Premiere Elements 12 running in Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 64 bit needs some clarification in view of what has been referenced.
The path in Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 64 bit
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
and the BadDrivers.txt file is a file in the Premiere Elements Folder. Again, it is file in the Premiere Elements Folder. It is not in one of the folders in the Premiere Elements Folder.
And, in order to see the complete path, you need to be working with the Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active.
Have you been able to open Premiere Elements 12 Windows at all? That is, are you involved in trying to open a new project or a pre-existing project? If existing project, that will bring up a new line of questions.
If you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

  • How can I open Premier Elements 11 Organizer when it Stops Working before it opens up?

    I have brand new Premiere Elements 11 Software but cannot get the Organizer to start up.  It trys to open then shows an error message saying Elements 11 Organizer has stopped working.Thanks.

    Richardbeds
    1.On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running? And, just to get it out of the way, do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed, and are you running Premiere Elements 11 from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    1. Delete the settings (preferences) file which is name .psa.prf. Assuming Windows 7 or 8 64 bit, the route to it is:
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Elements Organizer
    11.0
    Organizer
    and in this Organizer Folder is the psa.prf file that you delete.
    Make sure that you have the Folder Option "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives" active so that the path will be visible.
    The shortcut to all that is...as you hold down the Shift+Ctrl+Alt computer main keyboard keys (altogether), double click the Organizer tab at the bottom of the Premiere Elements 11 Expert view workspace. A pop up should appear asking your permission to delete this settings file. Click Yes to that.
    2. How are you trying to gain access to the Elements Organizer...
    a. Welcome Screen - Organizer
    or
    b. Clicking on the Organizer tab at the bottom of the Premiere Elements 11 Expert view workplace.
    If a or b lets you get into the Organizer, then you might consider creating a new catalog (File Menu/Catalog Manager) as well as disabling Auto-Analyzer options et al under Elements Organizer workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/Media-Analysis.
    Let us start there. We will be watching for your results.
    Thanks.

  • When I power up my Mac-Pro I only get  a flashing file folder with a ? inside the folder. I suspect my hard drive is maxed to capacity can anyone help me as to what I should do?

    When I power up my Mac-Pro I only get  a flashing file folder with a ? inside the folder. I suspect my hard drive is maxed to capacity can anyone help me as to what I should do?

    Whatever the problem is you no longer have a bootable system. You need to try reinstalling OS X.
    Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF’s  and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools>Comment&Markup or Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Text Tool. All the functions are greyed out. Please advise.

    What's your OS? Acrobat 8 is not compatible with any modern OS.

    Yes I meet the system requirements
    OK...
    Contact Apple in your Country to Purchase a Snow Leopard Disc...
    And the Download Code for Lion...

    After the Successful Install of SL...  Run Software Update and Update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8...
    Next go to the Mac App Store and Purchase Lion... Using your Download Code...
    BUT...
    Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
    By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
    SuperDuper  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    or CCC  http://www.bombich.com/
    That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
    You will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
    (Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
    You will also need more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
    It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
    See Here  >  OWC RAM  >  http://www.macsales.com/
    Lastly... with regards to Lion...

    Your problem is really with "Time Machine", backup software included with OS X since version 10.5, not with your Time Capsule router.  For more information on Time Machine, check these Web pages:

  • Can not open Premier

    I am a new user.  Just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.  I used Premier elements 10 for the first tim.  Was doing great, editing my daughter video and know the program will not open.  Any sugguestions.  I tried to uninstall the program and am getting a message that  it is running and I need to close  before I continue.  I do not see where it is running.  I have powerd down and back up again.  Need help please.

     Thanks for the reply.

    At first it would not download on the setting I was picking.  Then I piced a FLIP setting and it worked.
     Computer is Windows Vista.  Sometimes it fast and other times it does not respond.
    The program will just close on its own.  Now I can not open Premier at all. 
    It asked me to down load a camera program, which I did and now it will not open at all.  So, I tried to uninstall to re install.  But, I get a message that I can not uninstall because it is running. 
    Another user suggested that I open TASK Manager and check on a TAB which I did.  And closed two ADOBE programs that were running.
    I will try to uninstall later today.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Can I load Premier Elements 12 on my two laptops or am I limited to one device?

    Can I load Premier Elements onto my two laptops or am I limited to one device?

    What computer operating systems are involved and are you installing from an installation disc or installation files from a download. That can impact the answer. But, the generalization is that Adobe allows you to have the same purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. But, you are not supposed to run them at the same time.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • I can't open Premiere elements 13.

    I bought it and installed it, but when I click on it nothing happens, even if I try to open it as an administrator

    My PC a HP windows 7 Home Prem. does not seem to like Adobe Prem Elements  or Elements 13. I think its the software that has a lot of issues.
    I did gett it  running for a short time (but slow) when I restarted the PC in the morning it could not find  the  'path'.
    Adobe were no help. Looks  like I wasted my money.

  • I would like to be able to edit MP4s in CS5.  I can not open the file. What am I missing?

    I would like to be able to edit MP4s in CS5.  I can not open the file. What am I missing?

    According to the publisher For GoSystem Tax, the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer 8, 9, or 10 is required.  Which means it can't be accessed from an iPad.  This seems weird.  I would recommend you contact the publisher.

  • I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11.  PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files.  What do I need to do?

    You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:
