PRE7 launches but serious error shuts down

I seem to have the same problem as PRE8 users. I bought PRE7 one year ago, used it allright until June 2010 when it started crashing on me. I can't open an existing project, or create a new one. I get an serious error message ' that requires PRE7 to shut down". I just can't work with it. I un-installed and re-installed it, nothing changed.
Any quick fix suggestions anybody ?
Thank you in advance.
Magali

Some basics:
Install all Windows updates
Install latest version of QuickTime (v7.6.6 at time of writing)
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites
Delete the contents of your temporary files folder (enter %temp% at the Windows 'Run' dialog)
Run Disk Cleanup
Run Defragmenter
Post back here with the necessary information described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started

  • Serious Error Shut Down when Burning DVD

    When attempting to burn DVD, Premiere Elements 3.0 immediately says there has been a serious error and program must shut down. Video was captured from camcorder, is about 12 minutes, just a couple of scene buttons on scene menu. Using an HP 2.4 ghz quad-core PC with 3 GB ram. I'm using DVD burner in other programs with no problem.

    Success---I followed some troubleshooting links and the one that worked was as follows:
    4. Re-create the Premiere Elements PluginCache.
    The PluginCache is a Windows registry entry that contains information regarding the status of all native and third-party plug-ins used with Premiere Elements. To re-create the file, hold down the Shift key while choosing Start > Programs > Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0. Release the key when the Select Initial Workspace window appears.
    Thanks for all the help...hard to believe the fix is as simple as holding down the shift key as the progam starts!!

  • "sorry serious error, shutting down"  help!!!!

    running vista sp2 4gb ram inspiron 1525 dual.  made a couple of videos and recently closed last project before done, large project, now i can't even open old, new or anything without getting this message.  have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and everthing i have found from other threads to no avail. Hate to lose this project as it took me couple of days to make it, so hope there is help for this.  Sometimes get message about default catalog and read one thread about moving this, but do not know how!  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks

    Welcome to the forum.
    Well, it worked one day, but not the next. That indicates that something has changed. The trick is to find out what has changed.
    Here are the usual suspects:
    1.) video driver - these get killed even by simple OS updates. The fix is to get the latest and install that.
    2.) audio driver - these get killed even by simple OS updates. The fix is to get the latest and install that.
    3.) QuickTime Player - check that you have the latest one (7.6.2, IIRC)
    Now, other things could well have changed. This ARTICLE might help you find clues as to what is now wrong.
    Next, this ARTICLE might help you find ways to trim your system of its "baggage."
    This FAQ Article might help you in tuning up Vista.
    Good luck,

  • Sorry, serious error, shut down...

    I've experienced this problem for many months (Premiere Elements 7).  I've tried the dozens of fixes found on the internet.
    Clearly this is a huge problem for a vast number of users.
    Apparently it's a serious bug in the application that Adobe needs to properly address.
    I need a one-time permanent fix for this.

    Unfortunately there is not one size fits all magic fix -- any more than there is a single specific problem that every person is experiencing. You'll kind of need to troubleshoot it to find out where things are failing.
    What operating system are you using?
    What processor do you have and how much RAM? When did you last run Disk Cleanup and the Disk Defragmenter? How much free clean defragmented space is on your C drive?
    What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it? What are your project settings, as listed under the Edit menu?

  • I have joined adobe photoshop but the program shut down after just one minute, why? I cannot use it!

    I have joined adobe photoshop but the program shut down after just one minute, why? I cannot use it!

    Without proper system information and other details nobody can tell you anything. If the program shuts down after a while then presumably it fails to verify your activation, so refer to this:

  • I prefer to arrange my photos by title but when I shut down Iphoto, my photos rearrange by date.  This is not acceptable for my growing library of snanned black and white ancestral photos. How do I get photos in events to stay in place ?

    I prefer to arrange my photos by title but when I shut down Iphoto, my photos rearrange by date.  This is not acceptable for my growing library of snanned black and white ancestral photos. How do I get photos in events to stay in place ?

    I actually am illiterate on the use of the finder to to view photos in folders.  I guess I will go to a class at the local Apple store for a lesson on the uses of finder .
    My method of viewing my photos are through events in I photo.
    1. Download  from camera or scan  in from old photos.
    2  I organize photos into events by occasion, or happenings in a certain year, or a group of photos with memorabilia of a certain person from childhood and on. etc.
    3.  Because Iphoto does not allow rearranging as I was able to do in my old PC with Corell,  I drag all of the photos to an " album" on the left side of sceen.  
    4.  I arrange photos in "order" after which I number each photo in sequence. I do this for a few of reasons.
              - if a photo is accidentally deleted I know it.  I can usually remedy this by checking my trash or
    rescanning.
              - I can sort by title without complications and this holds in "album"
    5.  The pictures will re arrange automatially to match the album in I photo.
    6.  This worked great in I-photo 09 but now in mountain lion the pictures in events go back to "
    sort by date" and will not hold "sort to Title"each time I photo is closed down.  What a nuicance it is to have to go  to view and click "title"  again and again every time Iphoto is opened.
    7. Can I go back to Photo 09? . 

  • When i plugin my iPhone 4s to the mac, pc o wall, it starts charging, but then it shuts down

    When i plugin my iPhone 4s to the mac, pc o wall, it starts charging, but then it shuts down.
    I tried restoring, reseting, putting in DFU mode, everything.
    But it keeps doing the same thing, sometimes it shuts down exactly when i plug it in.
    A friend told me it may be something electric with the connector.

  • Does not start, but when I shut down the computer then the browser shows up right before sytem shuts down.

    I am having problems with Firefox. When I click on the shortcut, or the .exe file nothing happens. I check task manager to see if it is running and it does not show Firefox is running.
    But when I shut down the computer then the browser shows up right before the computer shuts down. I have tried starting the browser in safe mode and the same thing happens. I cannot give any troubleshooting info because the browser is not visible for me to click on help or any other button.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Hello LindaHarp,
    It sounds like you are listening to iTunes Radio and it stops shortly after you start listening. I recommend starting by signing out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes & App Stores. Then close all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue by signing back in to your account, and testing again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Hi guys I'm really in need of some help. I have an IMac I3 for a while now I've been having a problem of my machine refusing it shut down , it goes to a blue screen with a spinning wheel but doesn't shut down.  And now won't boot from install DvD

    Please some one help me ...
    A) my mac won't shut down with external HD connected (if it's been used)
    B) there are disk permissions that can't be fixed SUID stuff ..
    C) I have now verified the Mac HD and it tells me it's corrupt in bold red writing and to start up from install DVD
    D) it won't boot from DVD so I cannot run the repair , initially the machine was spitting it out on start up , now it appears to be attempting to boot off DVD , well it sounds like it is .... BUT it's hanging with the Mac Logo and a wheel ... For um .... 30min now...
    E) weirdly when OSX is booted off the hard drive , it won't recognise the Install DvD or the applications one... It just spits them out....
    I had an old PPC 17" and it was a beaut .... Never had a single problem with it ...
    I bought this one December 2010 and it's been nothing but issues for a computer in excess of £1000 I'm extremely disappointed ... And weirdly the shutting down issue started when it was a week out of warrantee ... I feel conned and am almost at the point of throwing it at a wall and buying a PC

    Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
    I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
    Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
    It says ;
    Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
    Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
    Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
    Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
    Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
    Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
    Continuing...
    And stops ...
    Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)
