Prem Pro cs3 causes windows 7/ 64 to become corrupt

Having installed prem pro cs3 in win 7/64, I get frequent crashes and eventually windows reports that windows explorer is unable to start. This means that win cannot start or if already running cannot access anything. Can only be cured by a new installation of windows.have repeated this process several times with Prem the only program installed. Might work ok for a few days then it starts all over again. Any ideas anyone? Hve tried restore and repair etc. No good.

Encore in Prem pro CS3

Have spent a while looking how to get encore to work in my downloaded trial copy of Prem pro CS3
I have put in markers
when I go to export Encore is light greyed out and not in dark grey am I missing something??

I don't have the link handy, but the last time someone asked about this I went to the download page and then looked at the FAQ
There are SEVERAL steps to take to convert the PPro3 trial to real software... part of which is not just download "some codec stuff" but actually downloading AND installing Encore3 (and OnLocation?)
So... you need to download AND install more software, not just codecs

Printing duplex with HP Officejet Pro 8600 causes windows 7 OS to shut down/restart

Why when printing duplex with my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer it causes windows 7( 64-bit) to shut down/restart. Windows message is "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown. I've ran HP Hardward Diag. Utility and Print and Scan Doctor which indicated everything is working properly with the printer. Ocassionaly I can print duplex without windows shutting down and restarting, but most of the time it creates issue with Windows causing it to stop and restart. Single sided printing seems to be fine. I've already oncehad windows to "Startup Repair" in which ccase I selected restore to a previous working point. Everything worked for awhile then a duplex printing session starting causing windows to shut down again. THanks for your assistance.

Yes, the updated USB 3.0 driver corrects the issue and should be installed.

OTF/PS fonts have recently stopped rendering in Flash Pro CS3 on Windows 7/64

Recently, a number of my OTF/PS fonts have stopped rendering when used in Flash Pro CS3. The fonts appear in the fonts menu, render properly in the font preview popup in the font menu, but the fonts fail to render on stage when used, with certain exceptions:
--If Bitmap Text is selected, the fonts appear (but aliased)
--If Anti-alias for animation is selected, then the text appears when text insertion is active in the text box, but vanishes when focus shifts to another element, tool, selection
In all other cases and for all other settings (yes, including black text with 100% alpha on a white background, etc etc), the text shows solely as transparent. You can select the text (although not see what you're selecting), cut and paste, and as you change the font size, kerning, justification, bold, italic, etc, the text boxes resize as normally expected; simply, the text does not show up.
The fonts work normally in all other CS3 and Windows applications, and up until about last week (Dec 12 or so), used to work fine in Flash.
The problem fonts appear to be (primarily Open Type Format) Post Script Outline fonts.
I have installed all Windows updates, Flash Pro CS3 updates, deleted the Flash user config files, deleted and reinstalled the fonts, and copied the fonts to the C:/user/Program Files/Common/Adobe/Fonts folder.
There were no new installations (applications, fonts, etc) around the time when the error started showing up, aside from possibly Windows updates.
Given the timing (worked fine Tuesday, failed on Wednesday), I believe a Windows update may have been at least partially responsible, though perhaps it's the Mayan apocalypse.

Upon Launch After Effects Pro CS3 Crashes - Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

I recently installed the 32 bit version of Adobe After Effects Professional CS3 (and later applied the 8.02 Update) on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit computer (Service Pack 1 - 12 GB RAM). It's installed (along with all of my other applications) on a 256 GB solid state drive.
Shortly after launching the application (as it begins to load), the following message appears:
After Effects Error: sfntread library error (83 :: 4)
It continues to reappear several times after clicking 'OK'.
Then a final error message appears just before the program aborts its loading process and crashes:
After Effects warning: unknown BIB error, sfntread library error CT, 0
I currently have the complete version of Adobe Design Premium CS5 also installed on my Windows system. No problems occurred with its installation and all of the programs within the suite launch and load properly as expected. The only other Adobe CS3 application that I also installed before installing After Effects CS3 was Premeire Pro CS3 which also installed, launched and loaded properly with no error messages appearing during the entire process.
I did an initial search here on the forum using the error messages but did not find a solution that is workable with my particular operating system (64 bit) and the 32 bit After Effects Professional CS3 application.
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a page that might be useful:

Note that Windows 7 is not listed as an operating system supported for After Effects CS3:

Large project in Premiere CS3 causes Windows XP64 to reboot

Ok...I have a rather sizeable project going in Premiere CS3. It contains a rather large number of animations created in Autodesk Maya (most between 10 seconds and 3 minutes long) and a large number of stills, as well as scrolling background (a .mov file I created using Photoshop and Premiere) and a soundtrack created by myself (in Cakewalk/Sonar). The total project is about 18 1/2 minutes in length....around 8 video tracks and 3 audio tracks at the moment. The main problem is that when I start working on it...either importing files and especially moving files around in the project or even just hitting the playback button, the system just reboots. I have seen the infamous Windows "blue screen of death" flash briefly once or twice, but it doesn't hang...just goes right to the system BIOS screen. The ONLY thing that seems to help is basically saving the project like every 30 seconds. Import a file, save, conform file to widescreen, save, bring file into project, save, move file around a bit, save, add crossfade, save....you get the idea.
Now before I go too much futher here, I suspect the problem isn't actually with Adobe/Premiere as I had this happen a few times while I was creating the sound track in Sonar 4 as well. The sound track is basically a pseudo-orchastral piece and is equally around 18 1/2 minutes long....currently with around 42 tracks of audio and 5 midi tracks. The audio has been sampled down to a standard stereo wav file for the import into Premiere. And yes, as the audio portion of this project got bigger and bigger, it caused a few reboots as well (not to mention drop-outs, studders and all the other fun stuff associated with audio production). With that, I was able to "compact" the Sonar file (basically a Sonar project defrag) and the reboot problem seems to have went away on that end.
The system itself SHOULD be able to handle this project...not top of the line, but pretty beefy. 2nd generation Intel i5 quad core, 16 gigs of Kingston DR-1600 RAM, Tascam US-428 for the audio and a good 2+ terabytes across 5 harddrives (3 internal 3 gig-per-second SATA's, 2 USB). Also has a 4 gig HIS vid card with ATI chipset (still can't afford a FirePro yet). While Premiere is installed on the (comparatively dinky) 160 gig C drive, I'm using the 500 gig E drive internal and a 500 gig USB drive as my work drives. Most of the Maya animations are on the internal E drive but the rest...the stills and Premiere files and such...are on the USB drive. I.e., the system itself should have plenty of rendering power for this. Also I have replaced the C drive with a nearly identical twin. After a recent crash, I finally broke down and got a backup C drive...in other words, I'm sure the drive(s) are a-ok...even put a brand new 500 watt power supply in just in case.
I have already re-installed XP64...a couple of times in fact, as just before I started this project one of those god-foresaken MS "critical updates" crashed the crap out of my computer. Then on the first reinstall, something hosed in .NET framework during the "night of a thousand updates" so I had to scrap it and start the reinstall all over again. Likewise, I reinstalled Premiere CS3 (along with everything else including Maya) once I finally had the computer running again.
A quick note here: I did create my own custom 1080 Hi Def widescreen settings for Premiere since CS3 didn't appear to have any such thing. For short projects they seem to work just fine...although admitedly, the render time is a serious b*tch. Likewise, all the Maya animations have been rendered out at 1080 widescreen, production quality (yea...the render time there was a killer too).
Another quick note: While I'm trying to use Premiere exclusively while I'm working, on occasion I have had to open either Photoshop or Maya to deal with a couple of stills...and when I open something else, I get a "windows virtual memory to low" (16 gigs of RAM and the virtual memory is too low??). Otherwise, except for Avira (virus scanner) I don't really have anything else running in memory...no screen savers, no desktop pictures, no Instant Messanger crap, etc.. Never cared for bells and whistles and such, so the system is pretty clean in that regard (and I do keep up on my degrags as well).
Finally, while I -am- grateful for any helpful suggestions regarding this, please do NOT simply tell me to upgrade something (Premiere, Windows, etc) as point blank; it ain't gonna happen. Aside from the fact that Adobe seems to have made Premiere CS4 and up much more difficult to use (I have -many- niggles about the newer interfaces there...using CS5.5 at the college and it's REALLY annoying) and aside from my wife being a MS programmer/developer and having to listen to her complain about Windows 7 and 8, we're in the process of buying a new house, so any and all "disposable income" is nill...and will be for quite some time. No money...zero...nadda...i.e. no upgrades. Further, while granted this is certainly the biggest project I've done to date, I've ran this setup/configuration for at least the past 3 years now without a hitch...this all seems to have started with that last MS critical update (at the risk of sounding paranoid, I'm really starting to think they slid a nasty in that last one to FORCE people to upgrade since they're discontinuing XP64 support soon).
Alrighty...I know that's a lot but I wanted to provide as many details as I could here in hopes that someone can help me get a handle on this reboot issue. Getting to be REALLY annoying having to save every 30 seconds or so. I have searched the help files, but got tired of randomly sorting thru all the blather and not finding anything helpful.
I'm grateful for any help here...thanks!
Jim

Well, I'm about 98% sure it isn't a hardware problem. I had already pulled the RAM and tried some backup RAM I have sitting in the box (8 gigs of Corsair), went thru the harddrives weeks ago with Chkdsk and everything was a-ok there (a couple of bad clusters on the old C drive, but that has since been replaced and is on the shelf as a backup), motherboard seems to be fine, re-seated all cards and cables, etc.. Again I even slapped a new 500 watt PS in just in case (the old one was a 400 watt and with all the crap I have on this system, thought it might have been a voltage drop off issue...nadda). I did have a bit of a heat problem a while back...one of the case cooling fans was going bad and the CPU was getting just hot enough to trip the system (about 5 degrees over). That said, that also shows up in the BIOS monitor as well and was easy enough to track down. Either way, the bad cooling fan has been replaced and I even added a "squirrel cage" style fan as well...system is running nice and cool now.
BTW...I used to be A+ certified on both PC's and Macs when I was a hardware tech (not to mention HP, IBM and Lexmark certified, Cat 5 installer, etc), so I like to think I know my hardware fairly well. Not just a weekend warrior on that front...used to do it for a living.
I had also already tried manually resizing the paging file as well...tried different sizes, tried spreading it out across the drives, etc.. Didn't really make a difference either way and again the only time the virtual memory low comes up is if I try to open Photoshop or Maya while this big project is open in Premiere. That said, Photoshop and Maya both tend to be pigs when it comes to memory/RAM (Photoshop especially). Doesn't seem to happen with Illustrator or any other program....just PS and Maya if this project is open in Premiere.
One other oddity I have noticed recently is actually with Maya. Before all of this started...in other words, before that last MS critical update and 3 days of reinstalling software...I used to be able to do a background render with Maya and still be able to keep working on stuff. I'd fire off batch render and then I could move on to other things...editing images in Photoshop (CS 5 there if it matters), surfing the web and even doing some light stuff in Premiere. Since this problem has been occuring however, I have noticed that the Maya batch renders are REALLY slowing down the system big time. Difficult to even check my email while a batch is running. Likewise, I have noticed that since I upgraded the Maya from 2011 to 2013, Maya has a nasty tendency to freeze during a batch render. If I have a long batch render, I'll set it up to run over night...when I get up the next moring, the render itself will still be running (you can see Mayabatch.exe still going in processes under Task Manager) but Maya is totally frozen up. Now I did that update at the same time as the rest of this mess happened so I don't know if these problems are due to the Maya upgrade or the (apparent) Windows problem...I'm inclined to believe the latter.
BTW...after having a project file get corrupted yesterday during one of these shut downs, I've been double saving the files (so as to have a backup) and that too seems to have made things a bit better. Hasn't actually shut down on me when I've been doing this. That said, it's also a serious pain in the butt having to save that way too.
With that, looking thru the rest of Hunt's article there, I did kill indexing services...at least on the work drives. it's about the only thing there that I haven't tried, so we'll see what happens this afternoon. I seriously doubt that would be the problem though as usually that would give an error or a lockup and not an instant shut down, but we'll see.

Strange problem between Prem Pro CS3 and Canon ZR950

I bought CS3 and a Canon ZR950 thinking they were compatible. I ended up having to install Firewire and using the special 4-pin to 6-pin cord. It almost works.
According to Windows XP the drivers for both the "Canon DV Camcorder" and the "Texas Instruments OHCI Complaint IEEE 1394 Host Controller" are working properly. The firewire works properly with other devices. When I place the camcorder in PLAY and insert the cable the computer recognizes it as a camcorder and gives me choices of programs to use - Premiere Pro, Windows Movie Maker, Vegas Movie Studio, and Media Import 8.
I've tried uninstalling the camcorder drivers and when reattached they self install again "correctly". If I use Windows Movie Maker I get a warning "An unknown error has occured" and it stops working. If I use Vegas Movie Studio 9 I get an eror message saying "Microsoft DV Camera and VCR" could not be opened. If I use Roxio Media Import 8 I can get it to start the camcorder screen replay but none of the other computer program controls work and it's doesn' save anything or show up on the computer screen.
The only one that gets to the next step is Premiere Pro. It will actually open and wait for input. When I select Capture the window opens but nothing works until I go to the Settings tab, Device Control, Options button. There I select NTCS, Canon, Standard, and Auto detect. There is no specific choice for the ZR950. It only goes up to Z70. I've tried various settings but it doesn't make any difference.
Here's the strange thing. Regardless of whether I change the options or not, even if I only open up the Options menu and close it again, the controls on my computer screen will now control the camera for playback, foward, reverse, stop but it will only show up on the camera screen, not on my computer screen. In addition, there is no capture going on. In other words, I can use my computer as a giant controller to watch my videos on my camera screen, but that's it.
I suspect there is something wrong with the settings on the camera, but haven't gotten any word back from Canon yet. Any suggestions you can offer here would be appreciated.

Hu Simon...thanks for the answer but how i already writed in my post im on a macbook pro(internal audio card are out of the question)...
anyway are you suggesting that adobe doesnt work well with usb audio devices???
becouse for now i have to stick with it....

Prem Pro CS3 to Soundbooth problems

When I edit an audio track from a video file in PPCS3 using Soundbooth, I can make changes that are reflected in PPCS3, unless I convert a stereo track into mono.
Anyone know how I can convert a stereo track to mono that is automatically updated in PPCS3?

Prem Pro CS3. Title screen resizes itself.

Each time I open the titling screen it will gradually enlarge the two left hand panels (a little each time I open it) eventually squeezing the right hand side properties panel (fonts etc) down to almost nothing.
I have to keep dragging things back to resize all the time very annoying.
Can anyone please tell me how to stop this annoying fault.
Thanks

Actually somebody presented a "fix" for this.
If I remember right, the "fix" was to put the tools-bin in the bottom of the Title-screen (but it could be somewhere else).
It was a long time ago, but maybe a search will bring up something.

Prem Pro CS3 audio becomes intermittent after a while

This has been going on for a while and I have only now decided to do something about it:
While working on a project in PPCS3, after a while the audio starts to become intermittent. Its as though a buffer has become full and the audio data demand is more than the buffer can supply. I can't seem to find a way to Purge any buffer (if there is one). Are there settings I can adjust to prevent this?
My system is XP64 SP2 RAM 8GB Quad CPUs
Scratch locations: C: 66GB. J: 1.2TB
Re-starting PremPro solves the problem for a while and it then starts all over again.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Mark

Yes, I'm planning on going to CS5.5 but I was hopeing to stay with my present XP64 OS set up, so any other suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not sure all of the AFX plug-ins that I use are happy with Win7
Thanks.

Upgrading from CS6 to CC causes the extention .prproj to become corrupted.

After upgrading from CS6 to CC, by installing CC then uninstalling CS6: In Windows 7 "prproj" became associated (i.e., "open with") with Acrobat (?) and will not re-associate with Premiere CC. Using the windows procedure to change the "OPEN WITH" target yields no effect whatsoever --nothing gets changed and it Acrobat still tries to open it. If I had to guess, this appears to be a registry-writing bug wherein one of the versions somehow corrupted the registry, rendering it useless to Premiere CC.
Premiere crashes often enough (at least once every day or so) to make it necessary to go into the backups and retrieve the last auto save. It is harder to do this without a working link.
I already have the latest CC installed so the questions are: Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround??
Thanks.

Some more information:
Premiere does not appear on the default "Open with" list for .prproj --only Acrobat Pro (which is not a CC install if that makes any difference). Choosing another application via browse is ignored.
In order to rule out actual Windows as the problem, I tested, and was successfully able to re-associate other extensions (to other applications) using "Open with". The only extension not responding is .prproj. This suggests either a premiere problem in specific, or an Adobe problem in general since the association for .prproj is stuck on Acrobat.

Premiere pro cs3 window "flickers" or "shakes" then windows shuts down

lately, i've been having this problem. when i run adobe premiere pro cs3, the window "flickers" or "shakes." i'm not quite sure how to explain it, but it's like a quick "jolt." sometimes it recovers from that and i'm able to continue editing. other times though, i get a blue screen giving me a "stop error" then reboots.
it was happening with the old video card driver. i've since updated the driver and it's still happening. i thought it was the RAM so i replaced them. new RAM didn't help.
i'm running Windows XP SP2 on AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ with 2.5GB of RAM.
anyone know what the deal is? has anyone experienced this? it only happens when i'm running adobe premiere pro cs3.
thanks!
