Premier Elements V 3.0.2 won't start?

When I click on the icon, the title page shows up and it starts loading but after about 5 seconds the title page disappears and the program does not start.  I removed end reinstalled from disk and that solved the problem for a while but it has returned.  I am in the middle of a project and hesitant to remove/install again.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I am running Vista 32 bit.

How fast is your processor and how much RAM do you have? How much free, freshly defragmented space is on your C drive? (You'll need at least 20-30 gigs of free, clean, defragmented space just to open the program.)
Have you ensured that you have the latest version of Quicktime from Apple.com?
Have you run a program like Advanced System Care on your system? (The program is free -- but pay attention to the install screens or it will install an annoying toolbar on your browser.) http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html
Have you manually gone to Windows Update to ensure you have even the non-critical updates for Vista?

  • Premier elements 7.0 installs but won't run, please assist

    I have tried many times to install Premier Elements 7.0 on my computer. I have a very large hard drive and large ram capacity. It is able to run Premier elements 4.0 very well, with no problems. To try to resolve the problem, I uninstalled all Adobe Premier Elements components, cleaned the registry, removed almost all programs from the hard drive in order to make sure there was ample room. I checked and my resources say I have plenty of capibility to run the program. I checked for viruses.
    I am able to install 7.0 and load the program. I am almost able to open a project (I have tried several projects of various sizes) and every time, just as it is completed loading the project, there is an error message and the program shuts down.
    The error says there is a problem with module: ad2mpgvdec.dll and then it tries to send a report to windows online. I ran the program compatibility program with no luck. I am out of ideas. I can't understand how the older versions of Elements run just fine but 7.0 will not.
    Any thoughts? I would love to use this program for editing a Christmas video for my daughter.
    One other thing, the compatibility wizard says that settings for Premier Elements 7.0 are: DisableNXShowUI Not sure what that means and have been unable to google it. Other than that, it gives me no hint as to how to fix the problem.

    Are you saying that the program crashes as soon as you try to start a project -- not when you try to import video into it? This is a very important distinction.
    You also say you tried to run the program in compatibility mode? Does this mean you're running it on a less-than-preferred operating system?
    Meantime, a Google search on that driver turns up some pretty strange things. Lots of references to Torrent downloads and spyware. Have you run a program like Spybot Search & Destroy lately? It might be a good idea.
    Otherwise, if all else fails, this might be worth a call to Adobe Tech Support. There's obviously some sort of conflict going on somewhere, and they'll be able to walk you through the necessary troubleshooting.

  • How to make Premier Elements 8 work...

    As many may have figured out by now, Premier Elements 8 is not exactly pristene...  Hopefully Adobe will get us all a working version in the next few months.  In the meantime here are a couple of tips:
    First if you're using a 64bit Operating System, Premier Elements 8 does not support it and may not work properly no matter what you do    However, if you are using Windows 7 Professional 64bit or Ultimate 64bit you're in luck... you can set up Premier Elements 8 to run in Windows XP mode which runs under a 32bit virtual machine.  If you're using Vista or XP 64bit you're pretty much stuck with what you've got...
    Now for everyone using a 32bit Operating System (including those using Windows XP mode inside Windows 7), here's the best way to get a working Premier Elements 8 working... bypass the welcome screen / organizer.   Now the file names may be different depending on when you got your version of PrE8, and the locations may be different depending on which OS you're using.  These instructions are for Windows XP 32bit versions:
    1> delete your desktop shortcut for Premier Elements 8
    2> use "my computer" and navigate to the folder  C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premier Elements 8.0
    3> find the two application files that begin "Adobe Premiere Elements".   The one that ends in 8.0 opens the welcome screen / organizer which you do not want to use, right click the one that does not end in 8.0 and select "Send to Desktop"
    4> now sitback & enjoy using your crash free version of Premier Elements 8.0 *
    * Okay, that won't fix EVERYTHING, but it has fixed 95% of my crashes and has helped several others.
    Also, if you find PrE8 taking excessively long amounts of time to complete certain tasks including saving your work, adding or deleting effects/annotations/transitions, etc... dissable "background rendering" by going to Edit Menu > Preferences > General & uncheck the box marked "enable background rendering", you may also want to go to the "Auto Save" portion of the preferences & change your auto save settings, I have mine set to save every 5 minutes, though for the average user 10 minutes is probably plenty unless you continue to have problems despite the steps above.
    Oh & for those also using Photoshop Elements 8.0 the same bypass can lead to happier photoshopping   but with PhotoshopElementsEditor as the file you want to create a desktop shortcut for...

    I'd like to blame your failure on Vista... as I recall, you're running Vista 32bit... but since my only experiences with Vista are from fixing other peoples computers that have Vista installed... I'll refrain for now
    The delays in actions (deleting transitions, etc...) could be from background rendering hogging resources... It does the same thing on my pathetic old PC, which is why I mentioned it as well in my OP.
    But beyond that, I'm not going to be much help for a Vista user cause I have no real-world experience with that plague...

  • I recently purchased adobe photoshop and premier elements 12. The premier elements won't download on my pc because it doesn't support a 64 bit??

    I recently purchased adobe photoshop and premier elements 12. The premier elements won't download on my pc because it doesn't support a 64 bit??

    It's a 64 bit and this is the message I keep getting when I try to install:
    *This installer does not support installation on a 64-bit windows operating
    system. If you are installing by browsing through the disk content then
    please run the setup.exe from the folder “Adobe Premiere Elements 12/PRE
    64”. If you are not installing from the disks please download the 64-bit
    version of Premiere Elements 12.*
    The Adobe folder on my computer has downloads for both 32 bit and 64 bit,
    both of which I tried...any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I did not see your post 4 until after I had posted just now.
    That is one of the drawbacks related to purchasing Premiere Elements as a download from Adobe...the download is specific to the Windows or Mac operating system to which it is downloaded. So all you have purchased that way are the installation files and a serial number for Premiere Elements 12 Windows. If you had purchased Premiere Elements 12 in the box packaging, that comes with a disc for Windows and a disc for Mac.
    How long ago did you purchase Premiere Elements 12 Windows? If within 30 days of purchase, you can look into a 30 day money back from Adobe. But you cannot purchase the box packaging from Adobe. It only offers the download purchase from it. You would have to buy from an authorized reseller if you wanted the boxed purchase.
    The way it is now, you will need to purchase new installation files and serial number for Premiere Elements 12 for your iMac.
    That is the situation that I believe exists. More information if needed.

  • Can't get past the licensing screen in Premier Element 10. I've had the program for 2 years with no problems at all. Suddenly the licensing window shows up and won't go away. AMD processor - ASUS MOBO - Win 7x64

    Out of the clear blue - the  Premier Elements Organize "Licensing Agreement" shows up on my screen. I click "Accept" - it goes away - and within 5 seconds pops up again. I can't get past it. I've used the program successfully for over 2 years. Anybody else having this problem? I use Win 7 x64, I have TONS of disk space (read over 570 GB free on "C Drive"). I have 12GB of DDR3 Memory. I'm using an AMD  6 Core processor with an ASUS mobo. All other programs work fine including several other Adobe programs.

    Thanks for the follow up. Sorry the news is not better.
    Have you done a Tools/Error Checking for the Local Disk C?
    Then, maybe
    In your uninstall/reinstall troubleshooting, have you
    a. uninstalled using the usual Control Panel route
    b. did a ccleaner run through with its regular and registry cleaning parts
    CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    c. reinstall with antivirus and firewalls Off.
    I have been doing some searches....any chance you have a RAID configuration change in your computer environment?
    Can you right clicked the program desktop icon and select Run As Administrator? If so, please do so. Are you still running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    You might want to take a look at some of my encounters with activating Premiere Elements and see if there is anything in that which applies to your situation.

  • Why won't Photoshop Elements 11 and Premier Elements 11 load ?

  • Premier Element 9 won't exit

    I have Premier Element 9 on my Window 7 (64bit) PC.  Whenever I go to the X to close, it will not close.  I usually have to force it closed with task manger.  I have the same problem on a 32bit Window 7 laptop.

  • Premier elements 9 won let me do anything at all.

    I have reinstalled Premier  element 9 after my computer crashed and it loads the splash screen but if I click new project etc. the main window appears but it is a gray box with nothing in it. All the menus are greyed out apart from a couple of options in the help menus and the new or open project. If I click either of these nothing happens. Am I doing something really stupid? I am beginning to get very frustrated.
    Any help would be appreciated. The screen shot shows what I get and what is shown for the menus.

    Try to reset all Skype settings. Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old. Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder. Restart Skype. N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

    I realize that I am late coming to your thread, so please let me know if you have been there and done following when trying to open a new Premiere Elements 12 Windows 7 64 bit new project.
    1. Have you right click the Desktop Icon for Premiere Elements 12 and selected Run As Administrator? Do you verify that you are running Premiere Elements 12 from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    2. Have you created a new (additional) User Account with Administrative Privileges and tried to install and use Premiere Elements 12 from it?
    3. Have you tried to launch Premiere Elements 12 after you have disable the Startup programs which run in the background?
    See Run/Msconfig/Start Up (disable all) and Services (disable all except leave check mark next to Hide All Microsoft Services).
    4. Check out the Hosts file for anything written below the default view
    Local Disk C
    Windows
    System32
    drivers
    etc
    and in the etc Folder is the hosts file whose Notepad document you open by right clicking it, selecting Open, then Notepad. There should be nothing below the last line that you see in the following default hosts file Windows 7.
    If you do have to edit the hosts file Notepad documents, make a backup copy of it first.
    Please review the above and determine if any of that works for you.

    I successfully downloaded and installed the Premier Elements Trial version.  It comes up with the Welcome to Adobe Premier Elements purple screen with Organize, New Project and Open Project buttons.  When I select any of these buttons a progress bar comes up for 5-10 seconds then goes away and back to the same screen.  Nothing opens.
    This is installed on Windows 7 64 bit.

    Welcome to the forum.
    When a user is experiencing crashes, or hangs, I always recommend this ARTICLE. It starts with tips on setting up one's computer to run PrE best, then moves into a series of links on tuning up one's computer and OS, and finishes with links on troubleshooting, including an important link to Got a Problem - How to Get Started. That linked article lists the types of info, and how/where to find it, to best help others remotely troubleshoot the problem.o
    Good luck, and if you have already done everything in the first two parts of the article, please see the link to ... How to Get Started, and post the information, so that we can study that, and perhaps find the problem.

  • Why won't my Premier Elements 13 video production run when I push the play arrow?  It worked yesterday.

    Premier Elements 13
    I am in the process of making a movie with Premier Elements 13; it has been functioning fine--until today. For some reason, it no longer plays when I press the play arrow button to preview recent additions to the script.  I have rendered the files.  I have exited the program and reopened it.  I have turned the computer off and on.  None of his helps.  Any suggestions?

    ATR,
    Thanks for your reply and comments.
    My Premier Elements program 13 is running on a 64 bit computer with Windows 8.1, with all drivers updated—I think.
    When I press the space bar instead of the play button, still no movement at all.
    When I created a new video with just a couple of pictures, still no luck getting the play button or spacebar to work.
    So far, I have not found the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file, even with your instructions.  When I get to "roaming" there is no file for Adobe in that folder.
    Another clue:  When I began to add narration, the microphone did not work, so I changed some settings relating to audio and recording.  The problem with the play button began, I think, as a result my getting the mike to work.  But since I am not exactly sure what I changed, I can’t go back and reset those settings.
    BTW, when I close PE 13 and open PE 11, everything that I created in 11 works fine.  That is, the play button advances the time line indicator, as it should.  So, the problem seems to not be in my computer settings, but something unique to PE 13.
