PPro CS4 crashes on my HP 6820s laptop.

Every time, and I mean EVERY time I try to load a sequence into the timeline, CS4 blows up. This is a new computer, a HP Compaq 6820s, manufactured in February of this year. Did Adobe test this software on more than a couple of platforms? Seriously, HP is a mainstream machine if nothing else. Where is the QA at Adobe?

Where they should be.

  • Premiere and Encore CS4 crashes and issues on Toshiba Laptop

    I have a Toshiba Qosmino Laptop, 4 GB ram, Windows XP Sev pac 3, Nvida Gforce 7300 video. new 7500 RPM Hard drive
    The two programs that crash all the time are Premiere and Encore CS4
    Premiere will start some times and sometimes not. I've tried a new projects, importing a CS3 project seems to make no difference. Takes approx 2-3 minuites to load. Click on a imported video clip or timeline and crash.
    Encore crashes "EVERYTIME"... tried to import from Premiere into Encore.. when the timeline is clicked in Encore it crashes everytime. Tried a new project in Encore same problem. Started Encore alone and same problem... first click and crash.
    I'm not getting a blue screen just the Adobe crash report screen asking me to send a report... have done that many times.
    Things that I have tried:
    Had CS3 (BTY it ran fine)
    Uninstalled CS3 and uninstalled CS4. Reinstalled CS4 same problems.
    Defrag hard drive....
    Reinstall CS4
    Updated video drivers to latest version
    Reloaded older video drivers
    Did MSCONFIG and stropped all unneeded processes
    All the rest of the CS4 programs open and run fine.
    Any help is appreciated!!

    Sounds like a problematic video driver or codec issue. You need to update all your drivers and try again. Also get rid of any unnecessary codecs. Try opening files in various formats and see if the same happens. Also you should search the KnowledgeBase, it contains a lot of information about this kind of problem.
    If all fails, call Adobe Tech Support...

  • --------   PPro CS4 Crashes when trying  "CAPTURING"

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone could help me. I just bought Production Premium CS4. I installed all the programs that came with it. I opened Ppro to start with my project. but when I try to CAPTURE my movie the program crashes immediately without letting the capturing screen to appear. This is the message I get "Premiere Pro has encounter an error".
    [..\..\Src\Timecode.cpp-995]
    I already downloaded the current updates but nothing seems to fix the problam. By the way I am running Windows XP X64. Can anyone help me please?

    Not with the details supplied. Look at the FAQ section, the Wiki and the bold hints at the top of the page.

  • PPro CS4 crashes on every time I try to make a change to my project!! HELP!!!!!!!

    Hi,
    This is a new thing, so far PPro hasn't been giving me any type of problem, but I was working on a project which I almost finished editing. Here is some information:
    * The project includes titles, a .gif logo runnning throughout the 5 minutes video and video transitions.. no color corrections.
    * My computer runs on AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3800+, 2.40 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 32-bit OS, Windows Vista Service Pack 1. Video card is NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT.
    * Premiere Pro version CS4 4.2.1
    * Crash details which I think is most important: <crash exception="EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" instruction="0x1f0b4df9">
    And it goes on and on but i'm pretty sure all the information can be found here..
    What can I do??????

    Often, when one receives and Access Violation for a memory address, some program has not reported its memory addresses correctly to the OS, or has told the OS that it has released that address, when it has not.
    The two things that would recommend at this point would be to use the tips in this ARTICLE to see if you can find what is going on at the time of the crash. Then, look into Process Explorer (it and other tools can be found HERE). Also, take a look at this ARTICLE on setting up your system for an editing session.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • PPro CS4 crashes when importing After Effects comp

    I am using Premiere Pro CS4 on Mac, when i try to import an after effects comp that uses the zaxwerks "flag" plugin, premier crashes...why?

    Does this happen only when you use the plug-in, or for all comps?

  • PPro CS4 crashing when running on RAID 1

    Hi I used to have Premiere Pro CS4 running reasonably stable on a i7 920/12GB RAM, Vista Business system, with data on 2x 1TB Samsung Spinpoint HDD's in a RAID 1 (mirror) arrangement. The RAID is Intel's Rapid Storage Technology off a Gigabyte X58 mobo.
    Then I moved the O/S and the applications (including CS4) on a separate system RAID 1 using the same Intel system. The computer is having terrible problems launching applications, with extremely long delays/system freezes/blue screens and so on. The problems are erratic, cannot identify any patterns.
    I thought Vista was getting long in the tooth after 18 months from installation so I performed a clean install of Win7 Home Premium, reinstalled CS4, upgraded everything.... Same result.
    My system builder maintains the system RAID should make no difference to the behaviour of the operating system and of CS4. We've checked temperature, RAM etc. It does not seem to be a hardware problem, although we're yet to replace the motherboard.
    The obvious answer would be to forgo the extra safety of the system RAID 1 and go back to having OS & apps on a single disk... or does anyone have any advice?
    Many thanks
    Claudio

    It looks like there could be a number of issues.
    1. Congestion on the IHCR10 with two separate arrays.
    2. Some services or processes use the arrays at the same time, like indexing, compression, defragger, iTunes, etc.
    3. Your system still needs some optimization. Look here: Windows 7 Service Configurations by Black Viper
    How many processes are running when you start PR? Use Process Explorer for that, not Task Manager. If more than 50, tune your system further.

  • PPRO CS4 doesn't work?

    I got PPro CS4 (french edition) by the adobe store. Download several times. Double click. A blank window opens with the title (Adobe premiere. this software doesn't answer). Sometimes, it carshes. Sometimes, it works. I put some clip on the timeline but I can't export on a tape or through media encoder. On the tape, there is nothing. Encore answers: "can't find the files". But I can see the film on the monitors. After that, PPro CS4 was unable to find the project.
    Nothing has been moved and to make sure a new download and a new clean installation have been made.
    make a phone call to adobe and I'm waiting for ...
    I ask also to downgrade to PPro I bought to the adobe store in 2003. But this is no more available!
    I really appreciate any help
    regards

    Hello,
    Thanks Robert for the link.
    There are one or two problems:
    1)PPros CS4 crashed when launched
    2)A problem with media encoder (maybe 2 comes from 1)
    The second problem looks (at least partially or it's a variant) like the problem described by Ruby45 in your forum and solved(?) by Johan973. (error messages are similar).
    Some comments:
    1) I have also photoshopCS (zero) and adobe web premium cs3 suite. Recently due to conflict between extension manager cs3 and cs4 i got a hard time to move the pvii extension from dw8 to dwcs3.
    2) On the folder .../AppData/Roaming/Adobe/ i have some folders called PremierePro (includig the folder 4.0) and Premiere Pro (including 4.0, 1.5 and 1.0) and i never did a change.
    3)I didn't find in the folder programme/adobe/..../premiere any PProCS4.exe
    At this time I csan't afford any issue with dreamwaver/fireworks cs3 or any interruption of service.
    Question:
    1) any conflict known between CS3 and CS4? solution?
    2)how to perform a very clean installation of PPro CS4 without any interference with the web suite cs33? (I already download and install ppro cs4 several times).

  • PPro CS4.1 often crashes when saving

    Hi there,
    I have Premiere Pro CS4.1 running on Win XP (32-bit) SP3.  I find that PPro frequently crashes when saving.  This happens about 1 in every 5 saves (and I save frequently so that translates into a crash about every 30 minutes!)  This is rather tedious.  Is anyone else finding that PPro CS4.1 crashes when saving?  I haven't noticed this problem in previous versions.  Any thoughts as to how to fix the problem?!?
    Many thanks,
    Jack

    If you need help quickly...Guideline for posting an effective question
    You can start with your disk configuration, other hardware, sequence settings, source material, and other processes running.
    I know this may sound like over asking, but it just helps to find what may be wrong.

  • PProHeadless.exe crash - still can't render anything with PPro CS4

    I ran into this problem back when I did the CS4 upgrade and wound up sticking with PPro CS3 because I could never get the CS4 AME to run under Vista 64-bit.  I recently did an upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit and was hoping that I could finally use PPro CS4.  Alas, I cannot.  Same problem.
    I've searched the forum and the web and found lots of recommendations but my AME crashes within seconds of loading - I don't even have a chance to change number of processers and the files I'm trying to render don't matter (I've tried all sorts of source files).  Basically, I export the timeline from PPro CS4, the AME splash screen appears, then I get the "PPROHeadless.exe" crash within a couple seconds.  So I never actually start the render - it doesn't get that far.
    Has anyone found any fixes other than changing number of processors and mods to the source material?  Neither of those works for me.
    Thanks,
    rgames

    OK.
    Under these circumstances, I'd say that something common to both installations is causing the crash, some piece of software that was on both.
    Is this a dedicated production rig, or is the machine used for other purposes?

  • CS4 crashes when monitor used

    We are using PPro CS4 on an XP laptop.  Everytime we try to open Program Monitor or Resource Monitor, CS4 crashes.  We can still import, edit, export with no problem.  The crash only occurs when we try to open the Monitor to view our M2T or MOV footage.  We've used this program for months without this problem and have not installed any new programs.  We're also up to date on Adobe updates.  Please advise.

  • Ppro CS4 Won't Open

    I have Premiere 6.5 in my computer. I had Ppro CS3 on the same computer and it worked fine. Recently my hard drive crashed but I had backed everything up before adding CS3 so I ghosted it all to a new hard drive and added Ppro CS4. But it keeps disappearing fromn my screen either while opening or after importing a video file. What is causing the instability. I never have Premiere 6.5 opened at the same time. The same computer worked with Ppro CS3. Why not Ppro CS4? I uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times.

    Here is the link.
    The instruction are there also, and I do not know of any shortcut.

  • CS4 crashing problems - will the update help

    hi
    I upgraded to CS4 early this year, but have long since given up on it, since every time I use CS4, either on my (Toshiba Qosmio) laptop or on my (Dell 690) Desktop PC, it crashes with ridiculous regularity (I think around 20 mins is I think the longest continuous period of work without a crash).  I wrote off thousands of pounds in lost editing time with my first CS4 project because of the constant crashes. I continue, however, to use CS3 quite happily.
    Premiere is the worst offender but AEX and Encore also crash a lot.
    It seems that I am worse affected than most but as it happens for different reasons every time, and on two completely different PCs, both of which run CS3 quite happily, I had pretty much given up hope of ever being able to use CS4.
    But what about these latest updates? Might they help?
    And another thought - would CS4 run smoother on my PCs if CS3 were removed? Obviously I am not prepared to risk that at the moment but if there is precedent for that problem I could try it on my laptop.
    thks

    CS3 and CS4 can happily coexist on the same machine. Problems only arise when CS3 is removed. That requires a new installation of CS4.
    However, the constant crashing with CS4 is abnormal. The fact that it happens on two completely different machines seems to indicate that it is not hardware, but software on both machines that causes these crashes. If you want to figure is out, the first step is to supply all data as requested in the link here and all included links: Some suggestions
    Be sure to answer all questions at the end of the Wiki article and to attach the screenshots and files requested in the second link.

  • Premiere pro CS4 crashes at startup

    Hi,
    My Premiere pro CS4 crashes upon startup every time i run it.
    My system:
    Vista Business 64bit
    Intel Duo Core 2 2.6ghz
    4gb ddr2 ram
    NVidia GeForce 9600M GT
    I have tried running the program as an administrator, removing all plugins, and reinstalling.
    I've attached my crash repport, can anyone please help.

    I tried the QT thing with no joy and I was using the 7.5.5 build.
    I've already listed my system, but here it is again: Asus Maximus Extreme, intel q6600, 4gigs DDR3 1600mhz, 8800 gtx oc, 3x750gigs.
    Deficient? Hardly since my 2.2 duelcore, 3gigs ddr2 geforce 8600m gt laptop ran it fine.
    As to hardware Premiere pro CS4 is the only program my rig has an issue  with After Effects CS4 ect works fine as does Premiere pro 2, but thats useless as I use AVCHD files.
    I'm not sure what you mean by assets (my rig doesn't have any savings )
    Project/Sequence settings I don't have any because I've just installed cs4 on this system.
    Operator Error? Click on an icon Premiere pro CS4 loads without the welcome box it just bings when you try to use it.  Can't see how it could be me, but I'd love to admit it was if i could get it working.
