PE8 loads but main screen is blank

Only upper left drop down menus "File Edit Clip Timeline Disc Title Window Help" show and all choices under then are grayed out except under "File" where "New" "Open Project" and "Open Recent Project" choices are active.
Also I cannot open 50 GB of movies I have made over the years starting with PE1.
I have an ATI graphics card and a new HP computer running Win 7.  Update 8.01 installed.
All I can say is that PE has deteriorated since PE4
Help

John Boy,
Welcome to the forum.
When PrE is launched, one should get a Splash Screen, which will be replaced by a dialog screen, asking what one wishes to do: Create a New Project, Open and existing Project, or Exit. At this point, the editing GUI will not be present.
At that dialog screen, what have you chosen, as it sounds like you have the editing GUI?
Also I cannot open 50 GB of movies I have made over the years starting with PE1.
Are you attempting to Open existing Projects, or are you attempting to Import finished videos into a new Project?
I have an ATI graphics card and a new HP computer running Win 7.  Update 8.01 installed.
Do you have the very latest video driver installed? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime Player installed?
Good luck,
Hunt

  • TS3297 After downloading the latest version of iTunes, the store will not load. It appears as if it has loaded, but the screen remains blank.

    After downloading the latest version of iTunes, the store will not load. It appears as if it has loaded, but the screen remains blank.

    I have the same problem and have been fighting with it for several days. I think the last thing that I did before this happened was to let Quicktime update itself. When I open itunes and click on store, the connecting bar gets halfway and then stops. That leaves me with the white store page, if I leave it alone for a bit, I see words as in names of singers and but no pictures.
    I have ran the diagnostics and see no problems at all, no event logs in windows, no errors at all. I've un-installed itunes and re-installed but no change. I'm using Norton 360 from comcast. I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. Also, the help in itunes doesn't display.
    I put in a ticket with apple and the response I got back basically told me to do what I've already done. I created a new user and have the same issue.
    Any help at all will be very much appreciated. I think this started August. 8, 2011.
    thanks so much for reading

  • Widget Browser Loads but the screen is blank

    Hello,
    Some weeks ago I downloaded Widget Browser to my laptop and it did not work.  Scott Richards made different versions to try and came up with a solution.  Widget Browser worked on my laptop.
    Now I am home with my desktop computer and tried installing Widget Browser.  First I tried the "build" I used on the laptop.  It did not work.  I tried the new "build" I downloaded from Adobe.  It has a blank screen too.
    My desktop has the newest Air running since that was updated a little while ago.  It's a Mac  Pro running 10.6.4, lots of RAM, and CS5.
    Is there a "build" to try so Widget Browser will work on the desktop?
    bill oudegeest

    We have posted a special build for those who are experiencing the blank screen problem on the Mac.  It is located here:
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/widgetbrowser/widgetbrowser_540.air
    Sorry for the incovenience, If you are experiencing this problem.  Download this version and don't update to build 543.
    We will continue to try and reproduce this problem on our side and come up with a better fix.  Please let us know if you have any more info about this problem or what may be causing it.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • NB200-10Z powers up but the screen is blank

    Hi
    i have a Toshiba netbook NB200-10Z.
    It powers up but the screen is blank.
    Can anyone help me coz i don't know the cause to it

    Hi
    Try this:
    Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor.
    Then wait a little bit (1 hour should be enough)
    Then connect both parts again and try to power up your NB200.
    If its not a serious issue, then your NB200 should power up properly.
    Otherwise its a serious issue and you will need an professional help from an ASP technician.

  • My iPod touch will not power on.; The charger is plugged in but the screen is blank.

    My iPod Touch will not power on. charger is plugged in but the screen is blank.

    Hello Dennisom,
    The troubleshooting detailed below can help get your iPod Touch to charge.
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.

  • IPad says 10 updates pending but Update screen is blank...

    My iPad shows 10 app updates ready to download, but when I select the "Update" option, my screen is blank. How can I access my pending app updates?

    If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days. Hundreds of people in fact. Apple is hopefully working on a fix.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.
