PRE11 Display driver and low system memory messages as well as no video playback in preview.

I have an HP Pavilion dv6,
the display driver is a mobility Radeon HD 4500, I have updated it on the AMD website.
I have also downloaded quick time, defragmented and done a disc cleanup, I have read previous threads and have not been able to BadDriver. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I am not sure what you meant by
I have read previous threads and have not been able to BadDriver.
Did you mean that deleting the BadDrivers.txt file did not solve the problem or you could not find it.
If you could not find it:
As for the BadDrivers.txt file. Can we assume that your Premiere Elements 11 is on Windows 7 or 8 64 bit?
If so,
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and in the 11.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. Make sure that you have Folder Options Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the path.
What are you or the program setting as your project preset?
And, what are the properties of the source media that you are importing into the project? How are you importing these source Media - Add Media, Files and Folders, Project Assets and from there dragged to the Expert workspace Timeline or other?
Is this one of those "it worked before but not now" type problems or one of "it never worked" type problem?
What do your computer resources look like..for starters, installed and available RAM and free hard drive space?
Are you running a single or dual monitor setup?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

Rendering and Low System Memory issues in PE9.

Hello again.
N.B: I am an ex-PE3 user.
I am having a few issues with PE9.
1. My main issue is that I am regularly getting the 'low system memory; please proceed with caution' message. I have googled it and read people's suggestions, but am not sure where to go from here. I have tried saving my file under another name, but am already up to '....E' (fifth) version of the file I've been working on this afternoon. The total time of the project is only approx 45 min's, although I will say that this 'low system memory' issue seems to be worst today, as I'm adding more still photos.
2. One of the suggestions made by Steve G on one of the forums was to make sure projects are regularly rendered. When I hit 'Enter' to render, the little render window pops up for a split second and then disappears. And I would assume from the red line above my timeline that my file is not rendered.
3. When I switch to 'Sceneline' view, my horizontal scroll-bar across the bottom will only drag SO far (to a certain point in my project; but definitely not to the end of my project. It is really frustrating. I sometimes can fix it by flicking between Sceneline and Timeline, but I have to do this multiple times... and it seems a ridiculous way to do it.
It would be fantastic if someone could help me with these issues, please!
System details:
AMD processor 3.2 Ghz
4 gig RAM (3.12 gig usable)
Windows 7 Ultimate

Hi everyone:
Thankyou for all your suggestions.
Sorry, Bill, but both those links give me an error message. I was all set to read them, but they won’t work, unfortunately.
What is meant by ‘page file managed’, sorry? And do you mean ‘hard disk drives’ by HDD, or does it stand for something else in this context? I’m not sure what you mean by how do I have them allocated. Again, apologies for my ignorance. I do have only one HDD, but it is partitioned.
The image sizes all seem to have a depth of 24, but vary in dimensions – I can see that some are quite large (around 3 mg in size, with dimensions of 4288x2848, for example). Is the actual mg-size relevant, or only the physical length and width?
I have tried to look at the frame size of my project, but it seems to be greyed out. In pale digits, there is 720x576 written.
Just before I sent this, I thought of one other thing to try first.
I tried starting a ‘New Project’. I then inserted just 6 still photos, for experimentation purposes. I then hit ‘Enter’ and the Rendering window came up and appears to have rendered correctly. So I then tried looking at one of my other projects (that hadn’t previously been rendered) and tried to render it. In this case, as in for the project I am currently working hard on, the Rendering window flashes up for about ¼ of a second and then disappears.
What is going on???

What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of those still images?
What is the Frame Size of your Project?
How is your Page File Managed, and what is the size? This http://forums.adobe.com/thread/632449?tstart=30 will give you some background and tips.
Also, tell us about your HDD's, and how you have them allocated.

Is there an update forthcoming to 4.0 to fix all the problems? Since it's installation, my PC operation has slowed to a crawl and I'm experiencing numerous "unresponsive script" and "low virtual memory" messages.

My PC was running fine before 4.0, and since then it is as described above. Almost thought this was a virus masquerading as a legit update (has happened to me before). Will there be an update to fix all the problems that have been reported, or do I have to bring in the Geek Squad to replace Firefox with Explorer?

Running very low on system memory message

At the suggestion of "the wine snob" I am starting this as a separate thread.
I just started tuning into this forum because on Sunday, I decided that I would try to do something with the vdeo clips that my husband took on a recent trip with a Flip ultra HD and to utilize the opportunity to start to get familiar with Premiere elements 7. The clips had already been imported into the computer, so I brought them in to PREL as files, rather than as video capture.
All day long, the program kept crashing, often preceded by the message in the title of this post (see attachment). By about 6 PM not only did the program crash, but the entire computer crashed to blue screen, ugh!!
This is on a relatively new system, purchased in April, a dell XPS 435T, quad core with 6 gb of ram and an ATI Radeon4870 GDDR5 video card with 1024 mb of video ram running Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
I was ready to pull my hair out. It made no sense to me that I should have such trouble with program and system crashes when a few months back, I was bringing in a lot of old hi 8 video into PREL, on a 4 year old laptop, with a single processor and 2 gb of ram. I made a few short video and never had these issues.
Then it dawned on me that those files all came in as avi files; the Flip video comes in as mp4s. So I googled something like "mp4 premiere elements," and it brought me to this post by Steve Grisetti:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/437535?tstart=0
So I downloaded the suggested software and converted all of these Flip clips to avi. When I started the new project in PREL, I wasn't sure if I used the correct preset so out of curiosity, I started a new project choosing the HDV 720 p 30 preset and one last time tried using the mp4 clips. PREL crashed again after about 5 minutes if it took that long, preceeded first by the low system memory message.
So then I tried a project using the avi files and guess what. I'm going over an hour here and still have not crashed.
I think it would be helpful if those of you who have had this message could post what kind of clips you have been working on (the file format) as well as the computer specs and operating system. Maybe if any of the Adobe tech support staff peek into this forum, they will see a trend in these posts.
Regards,
Cynthia Merzer

At least you are getting this error message, as it gives one a moment to Save recent edits. At this point, I would do a Save_As and increment by say 01 so if the program does shut down, while doing the Save, you do not run the risk of corrupting your Project. If the Save_As does go well, there is nothing lost, other than the time to reboot and relaunch.
Now, I would definitely look at the "Clean, Lean & Mean Editing Machine" article. Much imporvement can be made to an editing computer, even one just out of the box. Steve G. also has several FAQ articles on optimizing one's system for NLE work and for Vista. All will be useful.
Upon delivery, most purchased computers are at about 20% to 60% of potential. There is usually a ton of bloatware that does nothing for the users, except sap resources. As we add programs, more of this "stuff" is added. As we update and the like, temp files and various elements of detritus will fill the HDD's. I know that it sounds odd that a brand new computer would be filled with "stuff" so early on, but it is a fact of life. At least most mfgr's do not still install AOL "stuff" that is of little use and just takes up room and tons of resources. Still, there are too many similar programs, that cost performance.
Good luck,
Hunt

Low system memory warning

I have been trying to create a photo gallery with Adobe Web Photo Gallery. No matter how many images I try to source I always get a 'low system memory'message, and I cannot display any picture(apart from one!). I have tried sourcing them from a jpg folder, and from iPhoto, but same result.
I have hardly anything stored on the computer, and I have 768 mb RAM. I am not using any other application when using Web Photo Gallery.
What can be the problem?
Cristina

Hi again Cristina --
I wish I had more help to offer, but I'm really at a loss as to what might be causing your problem.
I ran an extensive search throughout the Discussions and didn't find anything and a similar search on the web in general and found only this: http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113267 Someone who apparently was experiencing the same problem as you, but whose post in a (non-Apple) Mac OS X forum was never answered unfortunately.
The only thing I still wonder is about,not surprisingly, your system memory, since that's what the error message points to. You wrote that you have 278 MB RAM used and 488 MB RAM free. Were those numbers taken right at the time you got the low system memory message, i.e., right when you were using Adobe Web Photo Gallery. If they were taken at another time they might not be painting an accurate picture of what's happening with your system exactly when you're getting the error message.
The only other thing I can think of is to ask Adobe about this situation and see if they have heard of it and know a solution.
Good luck.

PS. You might also try posting un the Mac OS X 10.3 Panther forum here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=745 on the off chance that this might somehow be an OS-related issue (though I doubt it). AT a minimum, it will expose your question to a whole different set of potential helpers.

I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail.

I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail. I can delete other files but several XLS files are giving me this message.

You said it was a network drive. So is someone else on the network using that same file or may have have left with excel still accessing it on their system?

We have an early 2008 imac and we realize it is not long for this world but we would like to get a few more months out of it until we can afford a newer one. Can we put in a larger hard drive and add some memory?

Would it be worthwhile to put in a larger hard drive and boost the memory on our early 2008 iMac? We realize it is on borrowed time but we would like to squeeze a little more time out of it.

I can't burn CD or DVD. I get a "medium write error." I bought an external CD drive, and get the same message.

I can't burn CDs or DVDs. I get a "medium write error." Bought a new external CD drive, and get the same message.

What are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to burn to disk via the iPhoto Share ➙ Burn menu? That produces a mini library on the disk that can be used only by a Mac running iPhoto.
If you want to burn just some image files to a data CD/DVD disk then follow Larry's recommended workflow.
What disk type and manufacturer are your using? What system and iPhoto version are you running? Have you run the OS X Mountain Lion: Use Apple Hardware Test? When did the burning proiblem begin? If you can't burn a disk from the Finder then it's a hardware or system problem and not an iPhoto one.

i have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

Greetings,
What happens when you drag it?
Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
Click on the movie file and go to File > Get Info and note the "size"
Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
Also note the format of the drive you are copying too. If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
Hope that helps.

I have had my iMac for 55 days now and twice I had to power off/on and then It does not power up correctly. I verified my disk and found errors that could not be repaired. I erased the drive and restored system back to the previous day.

I have had my iMac for 55 days now and twice I had to power off/on and then It does not power up correctly. I verified my disk and found errors that could not be repaired (errors were associated with boot drive) I erased the drive and restored system back to the previous day. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with it. Allen's already recommended an Apple repair station visit. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you might be eligible for an onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine (depends on where you're located). BTW, the AppleCare Protection Plan's the best warranty policy available for desktop machines. Get it if you don't have it before contacting Apple.

Why will photoshop not open after loading it to new iMac computer from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

Why will Photoshop CS4 not open after loading to new iMac from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

A Photoshop installation is tied to the machine it was installed on. Moving it to or from a hard drive breaks the licensing.
The answer is easy: Reinstall CS4 from your disc. and apply all updates.

Yes the original Install Discs can be replaced for a nominal fee. Call AppleCare, you will need a credit card and the serial number of the machine. You can use the AppleCare Contact Info for the phone number on your part of the planet.
