Messed with Startup, now PE7 won't launch.

Hi,
I'm on XP, and I was messing about with my startup and services using msconfig, and now I find that my Premiere Elements 7 won't load. It begins to, the splash screen shows up but nothing loads. Within about 6 seconds, it vanishes.
No doubt it's because of some service I've disabled at Startup, but I don't know which one. Tried enabling a few that look likely, but no luck.
Does anybody know what services Premiere Elements 7 needs to launch?
Tough one, I know.
Thanks.

I can do that for PrE 4 & PrE 11, but there could be some differences with PrE 7. Also, as I have programs, that you likely do not, my MSCONFIG will have differences.
Here are my Services:
[To be continued]

Problem with Safari - now Mail won't launch

I recently also posted this in the Powerbook G4 15" forum, as I couldn't get the link to the Safari forum to work...
I was having trouble with Safari, which kept quitting every time I visited a site that used a certain type of code (not sure what, possibly Java or Flash). I downloaded and installed the Safari 3 Universal version in the hope of improving the situation, but that killed off Safari itself, plus Mail, Internet Explorer, and Firefox. I then trashed Safari 3; I've just found an old version of Safari 1.3, which I've now installed. It's working fine, but Mail still won't launch. I can't even find anywhere where I can download Mail again! Can anyone help? I'd be very grateful, as it has my entire email archive stored within it.
Thank you!
- Kitty.

The Safari 3 install updates a few system frameworks that are used by other applications. Those frameworks that were added were designed to work with 10.4, not 10.3 which is why so many other programs are now having problems as well.
The easiest way to undo this is probably to perform an Archive & Install of 10.3 (and choose "Preserve user and network settings"):

FC Studio Crossgrade - now app won't launch!

I just got my crossgrade disks yesterday and did the upgarde which took about 6 hours. I launched the app when it was finished, made sure it opened, looked at some old projects, quit, slept the computer all night. Woke up, did some email, shut down, came back 5 hours later and now FC won't launch. DVD SP will launch, Soundtrack Pro will launch but not FC. I'm screwed.
I've done a search, can't find anything on this. I'm going to try and repair permissions and see if that helps.
I used to have issues with it not launching before I did the crossgrade - but I thought was a rosetta issue since I have the same proble with MS Word and excel sometimes - but after a restart, all works fine. I'm running 10.4.8.
Please help!
Denise

OK, I've got it working (knock on wood) and here is what happened in case anyone has this issue and pulls this up on a search:
Did the crossgrade - all apps (motion, DVDSP, Soundtrack, FC, etc)
Did NOT repair permissions
Launched FC immediately after install - launched fine
After about 12 hours of sleep, FC faild to launch. Click icon in dock and arrow below icon comes up for about 1 second and then fades away. No spinning of HD. Attempt to launch from icon in application folder - nothing. Finder remains active, no spinning of HD.
Repaired permissions - no luck.
Reset P-Ram - no luck.
Safe restart - no luck.
Unplugged all connections to computer - safe restart - no luck.
Finally I just popped in the cross grade install disk, unchecked everything except FC and compressor and installed it again.
Repaired permissions
Worked last night
Worked again this morning after a shut-down all night.
I guess I'll abandon the sleep thing as well for this computer. Seems OK to do during the day, but not over night.
Thanks for your help everyone. I hope this can help someone in the future.

I just upgraded Bridge. Now it won't launch.

I just a few minutes ago upgraded Bridge in order to have the latest RAW compatibility.
Now it won't launch.
WHERE do I "check with the developer" to see if Bridge CC works with this version of Mac OS X. I am using a 2007 MacPro, running on OS 10.6.8. Not possible to upgrade to 10.8 or later.
Adobe Bridge CC WAS working earlier today, before the update. How do I go back to the version of Bridge that I was using? Or is there a better solution?

You can get it by rolling back to a previous Time Machine backup or upgrading to 10.7.
Full story here: Adobe Bridge CC 6.1 not launching on MacOS 10.6.8 (not a supported OS version)

XI have just replaced my hard drive and uploaded my backup. Now iPhoto won't launch or reset and relaunch. Suggestions?

I have just replaced my hard drive (more memory) and uploaded my Time Machine backup. Now iPhoto won't launch or reset and relaunch. Suggestions?

Well without no information to work with, try reinstall.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Updated iTunes to 9.2, now application won't launch - Error #13005

Help! I just updated my itunes to 9.2 and now it won't launch. An error window comes up and tells me it's due to an unknown error # 13005? I tried re-installing it to fix it but it still won't. Please help. I'm on the white 13' Macbook, running OS X 10.6.4. I have my itunes library in my external HD. Dying to get this fixed any help would be appreciated.

try these user tips:
try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
and, if you have flip4mac installed
I found that the TSLicense plugin was causing the problem.
From the log:
PlugIn Path: /Library/Frameworks/TSLicense.framework/Versions/A/TSLicense
PlugIn Identifier: net.telestream.license
This pIugin is installed with the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components. I solved the problem by uninstalling the WM Components via the uninstaller at /Applications/Flip4Mac/Flip4Mac WMV Uninstaller.pkg, after which iTunes opens successfully.

Out of memory message in Illustrator. Now Illustrator won't launch. Can I reinstall?

I was working on a very detailed illustration in Illustrator and got an out of memory message. I ended up forcing Illustrator to quit. Now Illustrator won't launch. In the Adobe Creative Cloud, can I uninstall Illustrator and reinstall without having to pay extra?

Kathy,
I believe you should reinstall using the full three step way:
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Installation of Comodo Free Firewall Crashed System, Now Firefox Won't Launch

I installed Firefox 4, then my ZoneAlarm Free Firewall and Free AVG 2011 Antivirus were rendered incompatible. As a result, I installed Comodo Firewall --- I did not uninstall Zone Alarm or AVG. Comodo instructed me to restart the laptop in order to finish the successful install. When I restarted the laptop, it crashed. I restarted in Safe Mode and did a system restore ---went back 6 days. Now Firefox won't launch.
What happened and how can I fix it?

Hi thanks for that. I've been through those pages already. I think maybe my lack of knowledge is hindering me somewhat. However the page you linked assumes two things: I can see the processes on Task Manager and I can start up Firefox. The latter is unusual. You see when it suggests changing or creating a profile, I have to use the profile manager which is part of Firefox - which I can't open.
I don't think a previous session is still running because I've restored and installed so many times.
While I appreciate the speedy response, if anyone has any ideas using words, I'd be extremely grateful. :0)

Just installed the latest update, now iTunes won't launch

Hi,
iTunes was running perfectly fine, but wouldn't let me access the iTunes store until I installed the latest software update (9.0.2 or something like that). The software installed successfully, but now iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon in the dock, it bounces once, then nothing happens. I also tried opening iTunes through the Applications folder, and still nothing happens. I've also tried ctrl-clicking on music files and choosing "open with iTunes" and still nothing. It doesn't give me an error message or anything, it simply doesn't do anything. I just want to listen to my music! Does anyone have any advice?

Of course, immediately after posting this, I looked through the board again and discovered another topic on the exact same question. The answer was that I needed to update my software to version 10.4.11. I did that, and iTunes opened just fine.

My lightroom just updated to CC from lightroom 5 and now it won't launch - ideas? I have tried reinstalling, restarting. No go.

I have tried re-installing and restarting my computer - and am in lineup for customer care - but it won't launch at all.

first, sign out and then back in to your cc app and retry updating, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
if that fails, close your cc app and then reopen and retry updating.
if that fails, restart your computer, sign out and then back in and update.
if that fails,
Remove the OPM.db file and relogin into the Creative Cloud desktop application using the Adobe ID tied to your subscription.
Mac OS: You can locate the OPM.db file in the \User\<user name>\Library\Application Support\Adobe\OOBE folder. To access the hidden user Library folder, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion.
Windows: You can locate the OPM.db file in the \Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE folder. To view the hidden AppData folder, see Show hidden files, folders, filename extensions | Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7.

I installed upgrade tp 29.0.1 and now it won't launch.

I did a manual upgrade from 24 to 29 (should not have had to). Had FFox still running so I closed that before install finished.
Now nothing launches. The .exe file in Programs still has the old date (5/6) but items e.g. install.log have today's date. Control Panel says it's been updated. Did a reboot already.

Thanks for this, but I am worried about losing personal data. I see the profile folder under Firefox -> browser->defaults->profile but that file doesn't seem current.
You won't lose any personal data.
Not familiar enough with Uninstall--will there be a clear option there to not remove "personal data" if I try that?
Yes, during the install around the second step, it'll have a box that is unselected by default that says "Remove my personal Firefox customizations" or similar. Note from my previous reply at the end
<blockquote><b>Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox</b></blockquote>
(BTW I see that previous install left a "stub" not a full version: Firefox Setup Stub 29.0.1.exe)
That's the installation file that Firefox uses to install its files from. The stub installer is a 7zip archive used for compressing the size of the installer. Mozilla offers Stubs by default if you download from mozilla.org/firefox/new. Mozilla also offers full installs for people who want the full version for some reason or because the Stub wasn't working properly. The full install along with all the supported languages can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes and now it won't launch

I have a PC with over 800 gb of space, most of which is unused, and am running Windows 7, and when I opened iTunes (which opened and worked just fine) I was prompted to download the most recent version of iTunes and iCloud. Upon completion of the download, which indicated it was successful, I had to restart my computer. When I tried to launch iTunes this time, I got two error messages: "The procedure entry point ADAdPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll" and "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes."
Last summer I got to the point where I was unable to access iTunes at all and worked for weeks with Apple support to correct the issue to no avail. I had my computer in the shop and they were able to clean up a couple of corrupted files, and thereafter iTunes worked great.
I'm afraid to uninstall iTunes for fear I'll never get it back. Anybody have suggestions?
Thanks,
Littleredz24

P. S. Just got brave and uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it. Got the same error message: Entry Point Not Found - The procedure entry point ADAdPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll
Now I can't get to iTunes at all. Help, please!

I updated my itunes, and now it won't launch.

i click on the itunes shortcut on my desktop, or the button in my programs list, and it just makes the hourglass thing for like two seconds, and then nothing happens. so in otherwords, itunes doesn't open, i've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it, but that didn't work either. any suggestions on what to do?

I have the same problem, but not only won't iTunes 7 launch, but my HP Photosmart all-in-one printer (on my LAN) freezes, with buttons flashing and a cryptic error message, whenever I try to launch iTunes!
I have found that if I turn off my printer, then I can launch iTunes 7 and it works fine, but I cannot use the printer AND use iTunes at the same time.
Is this weird or what??? Anybody have any ideas on what might be causing this? HP printer support was no help.
