PP won't open, has error message

Hi,
I've been using Premiere Pro CS4 version 4.0.0 on a Dell Latitude (Windows) laptop for several months without any major issues.  However, I recently installed the 4.2 update from Adobe's website, which, for some reason, caused PP to lag and freeze up.  So, I performed a system restore to restore the version back to 4.0.0.  However, after doing this, PP won't even open, and displays the error message
"Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your display drivers and start again."
I can't figure out what to do, nor do I know what the error message is referring to.  I have a hunch that the problem lies in PP, since all my other Adobe applications (After Effects, Soundbooth, Photoshop, etc.) still work fine.
Any help would be appreciated; thanks in advance!

The error message indicates that PPro either couldn't find or load a player plugin (the core component that hosts your video playback on your source/program monitors).
That usually corresponds to Plug-ins/Common/PlayerMediaCore.prm, unless you're using a third party hardware combination, in which case, the 3rd party usually has their own player plugin.
99% of the time, the problem is that the display driver on your machine is somehow incompatible with OpenGL extensions that the app uses in the player plugin.  A common misconception is that a user is using an 'up to date' driver if they get it from their computer system manufacturer, ie Dell, HP, what have you.  You really need to get the latest display cards from your graphics card manufacturer, in this case, nVidia.
The other (remote) possibility is that somehow your system no longer has the right Microsoft runtime libraries installed that PPro requires (I'm assuming Windows here, of course. I'm not sure how one can get in that state, but it's theoretically possible.)
If you're geeky, you can use a dependency checker tool to look at the above-mentioned player plugin & see whether the required DLL dependencies are on the machine.  If they're missing, you could track down and install the VC redist package for VS2005 SP1;  probably simpler though to reinstall the app at this point.
Cheers

  • IWeb won't open--has error message

    iWeb is on my dock...when I click the icon this error message appears:
    Can’t open file “~/Downloads/session-2.cgi.”
    I have two large websites on it and can't lose all my work! Help!

    Here I am a few years later with this problem: My computer does not have a "domain" file. I have active and running websites on iWeb, able to be edited and published, but there's no domain file anywhere. I used to have it at the time that I wrote this initial post. I had it pinned to my dock just in case I needed it, but when thought I didn't need it anymore (as I assumed I had a copy of it), I deleted it from my dock. Now I haven't seen it since. How is my site able to be manipulated, without a current domain file? Anywhere? Its not in Application Support > iWeb. I even did a spotlight search.
    By the way, I searched under "preferences" for "com.apple.iWeb.plist", and its not there either.
    Another confusing question: I find the "index" file and all of the other pages to my website, located in Application Support > iWeb, but these pages are not current. They are super old.
    Its as if my websites appear to be there and active in the application itself, but everywhere else on my computer its as if my websites, or iWeb even, doesn't exist. Please tell me there's hope. D:

  • Iphoto won't open - has error message

    Hi there,
    Since late March I've been getting this error when opening iPhoto. All updates are current as below. Just out of the blue it stopped working. iMac came with iPhoto installed. Concerned that if I re-install from original iMac disk set I will lose all photos. Using iCould and external disk for b/up. Though worried given error of 6 weeks, the error/corrupt files will have  saved over.
    Assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Firefox won't open - get error message "this operation has been cancalled due to restrictions in place on this account..."

    I can't open firefox - every time I try I get the above error message. This has started after no apparent changes or updates to my system, just a normal shut down. I have tried changing the registry .htm, .html etc. file names and reinstalling as suggested but this doesn't work. The only way I can open firefox is after I have reinstalled it and it automatically launches a browser.
    I can open firefox in a new user account which suggests something has changed in the account I usually use but I have no idea what since I have not made any changes myself and can't see anything that would suggest it is blocking firefox from opening. I've run a virus scan and it is coming up clean.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd be very grateful for some help.
    Thank you.

    Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
    This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

  • IPad won't open iBooks - error message that book isn't formatted correctly, iPad is fully updated and I've tried deleting and reloading iBooks - only thing that has happened between when it used to work and now doesn't is that I took the iPad to singapore

    iPad used to open iBooks purchased off iTunes no problems but since I took my iPad overseas on holiday it no longer opens iBooks - they appear to download ok but when I tap to open the book I get an error message saying the book isn't formatted correctly or is in a format that iBooks doesn't recognise. I have tried
    - deleting and reloading iBooks
    - making all updates have been done
    - turning on and off airplane mode
    And still have the problems
    Did ask iTunes help but so far no joy - appreciate help please

    Ok, I got the 1.3/1.4 thing straight now. There was a java.exe in System32 that I now see the PATH was calling first.
    And in the TextPad version of the problem, I was curious -- I don't remember setting the specification of the executable called by the Run Tool button, but I must have at some point. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it and it created a default button that apparently points to what it's supposed to point to, since it now works and runs my program OK.
    Still, I wonder how it can be that explicitly directing the button to C:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\java.exe makes TextPad's Command Results Window say "NoClassDefFoundError"
    I'm up and working now, but if anyone has a clue I can learn from on the TextPad issue, thanks

  • ITunes Setup downloads iTunes 7, but iTunes 7 won't open, no error message

    So I've been at this for months, trying to update my iTunes from 6 to 7, and previous versions have opened on my laptop, but this time, NO! I've downloaded the setup for 7, it loads the program and we restart the computer so that it can get the new parameters straight, so then I try to open iTunes and the mouse pointer gives me the hourglass and the iTunes icon flickers and turns to a white box for a split second and back to the regular icon. The program doesn't open, I don't see an error message, nothing. I got an Ipod nano for Christmas and I can't use it because it needs iTunes 7! Has anyone had this problem? I've read so many threads and topics here but I haven't seen any answers to this one!
    I've tried reinstalling it and deleting it and reinstalling it. I've also just tried updating using the Apple Software Updater (instead of downloading from the Apple website) and it gives me an error. Hmmm... I guess I should figure out what that error says too. But anyway, I need help!

    So I've realized that iTunes needs service pack 2 for
    XP, and I have 1, so I'm trying to download it, but
    that's not working either... I wonder if you know
    windows as well as apple? I have to turn the Active
    x controls on and this tool bar is to appear so I can
    do that but I can't get it to appear. I've tried
    raising the security settings but nothing appears...
    interesting.................what is service pack 2 and where can i find it? My itunes still flickers on and off when i attempt to use it. .. and how do i get to the active X controls so that i can adjust them? Thank you guys so much for your time and assistance :-D

  • ITunes won't open, QuickTime error message

    By accident, I deleted QuickTime, and can now not open iTunes, so I downloaded QuickTime again, recieved a message that QuickTime has been successfully downloaded, but when I try to open/run it, I get this error message:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ContentIE5\TYMNQEZC\Quicktimeinstaller[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application"
    I am a computer illiterate, Please help me!

    hmmm. let's try an alternate technique for swapping out your QuickTime that doesn't involve redownloading an installer.
    first let's just make sure your previous QuickTime is thoroughly gone.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • Itunes won't open. continual error message

    Itunes 8 won't open. I click to try to open it and I get "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." I've tried plugging in Ipod to see if it will help in opening itunes. it won't. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I've tried taking itunes library out and opening...same error. Please help!

    Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ directory 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.

  • Itunes 7 won't open, no error message, also another new strange problem

    I found a thread for this awhile ago and followed it and it worked. However, I can't find the thread again, and after I restarted my computer, itunes once again would not open. I'm not getting any error message, just a brief moment with the hourglass symbol up and then nothing. So far I have uninstalled all itunes/quicktime products from my computer and reinstalled a few times, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    some preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
    (1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
    (2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
    (a) launch perfectly fine?
    (b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
    (c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
    (3) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

  • Excel won't open and error message There was a problem sending the command to the programe

    Hi there
    I'd be grateful for your help.
    I've just bought a new laptop and installed Office 2013.  I used Excel 2013, did what I needed to do and saved it.  This was 5 days ago.
    Today, I've tried opening the file from my desktop and get the error message 'There was a problem sending the command to the program'.
    And when I try to open Excel to do the DDE fix, which seems to be the best suggestion, I can't open Excel at all.  I've tried to get into it from the Apps screen.
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
    Thanks

    Don't seem like this can be fixed so I went back to version 6.0.2 which works good.
    I have Chrome now as my default browser and will not use fire fox until they fix it!
    Chrome works great!
