Premiere CS3 Reinstall Problem

I am currently running Windows XP Pro on a Matrox Axio system in which the CS3 Creative Suite was already installed for me upon purchase. As of late I've had problems with Quicktime (Premiere and After Effects no longer see it as a compatible format) and I was hoping that as a solution, I could reinstall Premiere and After Effects from the original discs.
This theory might work but when I get the disc to the Progress portion of the reinstall, it asks me to "insert CS3 Production Premium Disc 1 into drive \\prod\Adobeapps". I don't claim to be an expert but I just cannot figure out what the installer is asking me to do and I'm very frustrated. I tried a multitude of Quicktime-related fixes that didn't yield results and I was really hoping to try this particular fix to see if it works. Does anyone have experience with this error? If so, what was your method of bypassing it?
If this helps in any way, Quicktime stopped working with my system when one day Premiere couldn't get past the CompilerAIFF.prm during the initial program load. I went back a few hours on a system restore and when I got Premiere up and running again, Quicktime was no longer a viable option. I've tried totally reinstalling stand alone Quicktime (and I did use the Windows Installer Clean Up to remove iTunes and Quicktime before the reinstall) and I've tried repairing Quicktime in the Control Panel, and helped. In fact, attempting to repair Quicktime led to a "fatal error on install" and put me back where Premiere got hung up on the CompilerAIFF.prm again.
Any help I could get would be much appreciated.

Thanks Neil and Buko for your input. Here's where things stand now:
1) I uninstalled FW CS4
2) I uninstalled CS3
3) I ran Cleanup Script
4) I repaired permissions using Disk First Aid
5) I reinstalled CS3
The problems with Bridge remained (sluggish, won't display icons properly, won't show a preview image, won't operate the folder list, etc.).
So I called Adobe support. Unfortunately, because I am having problems installing CS3 and NOT CS4, support is NOT FREE. The rep was helpful though -- she pointed me to document number 331594 (Diagnosing Bridge problems) and told me to start there. I followed EVERY step . . . disable start-up scripts, reverted to original preferences, cleaned up the cache, disabled the folder windows, and the problems remain.
Guess I'll have to pay . . .
Lesson learned: don't trial Adobe software. That's when my problems began.

  • CS3 reinstall problem - asking for uninstalled CS4 beta

    I have a PowerBook G4 with 1.5 Gb RAM running Mac OS 10.4.11. I have the CS3 Suite installed and last year downloaded a beta copy of Fireworks CS4. After using it a bit, I uninstalled Fireworks CS4 with the Adobe uninstaller.
    I recently had a problem with Bridge and decided to uninstall and reinstall the software. I uninstalled Photoshop CS3 (in order to uninstall Bridge) and when I began to reinstall Photoshop, the installer ask me to insert the Fireworks CS4 disk! Since I don't have that disk, I hit cancel and the install terminated (I tried this multiple times and rebooted each time)
    I then downloaded and ran Adobe's CS4 Cleanup app. It found NO CS4 apps to clean up.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Premiere CS3 AVI Problems!! (plz help)

    I'm using Adobe Premiere CS3 on my Computer and I'm trying to import this AVI footage-- Now the footage imports smoothly BUT when I put it on the timeline it shows grey/pixelated image. I can hear audio, but the video doesnt play properly. I've tried Downloading numerous codecs to fix it, but I'm not sure that's the issue...
    I can preview the AVI outside of Premiere using any media player and I can edit the same footage in After Effects..
    ALSO I have Adobe Premiere CS3 on my iMac and I can preview the SAME AVI file without having that pixelated problem like I do on my computer..
    I'm not sure what's up with my PC's version of Adobe Premiere CS3 or what.. **This particular AVI is a Panasonic DV Codec (i think) which I have.**
    This/These video(s) with that type of AVI just doesnt work with the timeline's preview whereas all the other video types work fine... (For example, I can take the footage into After Effects and export it as an AVI and THEN it plays with Premiere with slightly altered quality..)
    If anyone has some idea, let me know--
    Thanks,
    Ari

    DV Type 2 AVI
    Also-- I'm messing around with it trying to figure out the issue.. I think that it could be after effects. I think the intro to the video was made with AE or motion and Premiere isnt recognizing the colors or something..
    I made a little animation in After Effects and exported it and Premiere wouldnt play it-- It imported it, but it wouldnt play on the preview window..
    I just put that animation into GSpot and it showed me that it's a DV Type 2 AVI ( AVI v1.0 )
    So there must be something going on with the AVI v1.0 and my Premiere doesnt want to play it.. I still cant figure out the solution though.

  • Premiere CS3- HDV problems¡¡ Help¡¡¡

    Hi
    I have been working in a movie since 2009, in Premiere Pro CS3. Project settings: HDV 1080i. I have been having a lot of problems with the render process, new timelines, and saving the project. Sometimes when i make renders, save the project, close and open again, It doesnt save the render, so I have to start from the begginning. But that´s not the big problem. 2 weeks ago, I capture 4 hours of hd video and aded to the project. Since then, all my other sequences have dissapear. I only have the main sequence with the movie, and the rest of the sequences are still ther, but only as video clips, not as sequences. So, I´m just working in one sequence, one timeline. The size of this only sequence is about 7 hours in full hd. Since then, Premiere have been crashing every 5 or 6 minutes. Sometimes when I´m working and I want to save, it pops up a message and say that it cant save the project becouse of an unknown problem, so I try to save it in a different location, but it doesnt work, so simply, I cant save my project.
    This is the machine Im working on:
    PC Microsoft xp Profesional, Version 2002, AMD ATHLON 64x2 Dual Core Processor 5200+, 2.61GHz, 3 gigs RAM..
    Hard disk memory: I have like 130 gygabites available. The size of the project with all the captured videos, autosaves etc is about 200 gygabites.
    I really cant understand the problem, I have uninstall and install two times Adobe Premiere cs3 and every time I have the same problems. Somebody tell me that Premiere only works fine with less than 4 hours of video in the timeline so, is this my problem? Is it the computer? I really cant undersatand.
    I really need some help.

  • CS3 reinstall problems on Windows 7 64-bit

    I had cs3 installed on my desktop running windows 7 64-bit for months. Then I got a licensing error message, and reinstall message. I uninstalled everything Adobe, ran the cleanscript app. Tried reinstalling again, and Adobe Acrobat installs but all other components fail to install. Tried lots of things from other threads such as moving adobepdf.dll_64 to desktop, then renaming it. Nothing has worked. Would really appreciate some good advice. Thanks!

  • CS3 reinstall problem

    Recently my laptop crashed. I bought a new and installed CS3 premium. The old laptop I could reanimate just so long to deactivate the CS3 install.
    Now my CS3 keeps asking for a registration key prior to CS3. I got the CS2 running on a desktop mac, so I copied the registration key of the about box. It doesn't work. Probably the key in the about is not complete.
    The install CD of CS and CS2 where lost in a move two years ago (I was happy to see CS3 installed with no hassle on the old laptop)
    Is there a way to retrieve my serial-number (tried looking trough for application.xml but there was only a 'demo-key')

    A warm thank you to all of you.
    Got no CD, and no invoice to prove the buy prior to cs3-update. I do have an order confirmation (You're right, I also wonder why & how I managed to save that...) I registered all updates with Adobe so I keep my fingers crossed. I informed Adobe CS (Customer service that is) about my problem. Hope to hear (a good tiding) soon.
    An no I'm not with a company, nor am I a company myself. I earn my living in a creative job not related to designing for print or web (laying carpets). I use Indesign CS just for fun.

  • Hilights Clipping Problem with Premiere CS3 Media Encoder

    I've just discovered a pretty serious problem with the way Premiere CS3 processes video to the Media Encoder.
    Many of you are familiar with the term "super whites", the ability of modern cameras to capture and record levels above 100 IRE. With HDV and newer technology, recording to 109 IRE is quite common.
    I was aware for some time that importing this footage into Premiere results in a hard truncation of whites above 100 IRE. However, I discovered last month that the Fast Color Corrector has a Output Levels adjustment that can rescale all the levels to fit down in the 0-100 IRE range. I verified this using the scopes in Premiere and by observing recovered details in my footage. I was even able to export frames to TIFF files and show the recovered highlights in the exported TIFFs. The difference is substantial and not subtle--it's the difference between a sky completely blown to white and one where you can see the sky is blue with clouds in it.
    Last night, I discovered that the Unsharp Mask filter doesn't handle footage above 100 IRE, either. Even if I use Levels to set 0-235 RGB range, somehow, Unsharp Mask is processing the un-level-adjusted signal, regardless of stacking order of the filters.
    I rendered two Blu-ray discs, one with Unsharp and the other without. To my astonishment, BOTH discs lacked any detail in the highlights--the whites were clipped at 100 IRE!
    Now I turned attention to the Media Encoder. Pausing on a frame where I can see the difference between 100 IRE and 109 IRE and shades in between, I fire up the Media Encoder and note that even in ME's previews screens, the whites are already clipped. There is more highlight detail in the program monitor, whereas it's all gone in the Media Encoder's display.
    It is obvious that highlight information, even scaled back to 0-235, is being treated as if it were 0-255 and clipped at 235 before passing to the encoder. This is a real disappointment, because there is another half f-stop of detail up there that I was trying to pull into the useable range of 100 IRE for the Blu-ray disc. Since it is very difficult to shoot footage and limit the peak whites in-camera to no more than 100 IRE, nearly all of us are losing valuable picture information.
    Even if you can recover the highlights on the timeline through a Levels filter, it gets thrown away again on the way to the Media Encoder. Short of exporting a few hundred thousand frames as .TGA files and then loading those back in and rendering out to whatever motion CODEC, I am at a loss as to how to get Premiere to leave the whites intact.
    I haven't seen this issue discussed in any detail here. Has anyone found a way around it, besides reshooting all your footage of one-time events to sub 100 IRE levels?

    I'd rather the camera added that extra lattitide within the appropriate 0 to 100 IRE range.
    That's a lot like saying you want 10 gallons of water in an 9-gallon jug.
    As it is, it looks like such adjustments will need to be done on a clip by clip basis.
    Or, you can do it the "Dan" way in AviSynth. I wrote a script function called SoftLimiter: It applies photoshop-style curves on the Y + U + V channels to bring the maximums within legal range… using a sort-of "soft-knee" approach to reducing extreme highlights and/or oversaturated areas.
    It causes a tiny bit of posterization in the highlights, just like all 8-bit per channel color adjustments do… but it is hardly noticeable on a computer screen and even less on TVs.
    SoftLimiter for AviSynth 2.5
    Create a folder C:\SoftLimiterCurves\ and place the .amp curves files in that folder.
    Place the other files in your AviSynth 2.5 / plugins folder.
    The example below assumes DV avi files and requires a DV codec (such as Cecocida DV, MainConcept, Canopus) that can read / write in YUV formats.
    Create a script like this:
    AviSource("dv.avi", pixel_type="YUY2")
    SoftLimiter()
    Open the script in VirtualDub, use Video / Fast Recompress, Select Cedocida DV codec. File / Save as .avi
    Before:
    After:
    And, Jim… you can place your dv2film() command at the end of this script if that's what you're trying to accomplish.

  • 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.

  • Impossible open project  Premiere CS3

    Hello, sory for my english, I´m from Czech republic.
    I have got a big problem. I can´t open project in Adobe Premiere CS3(update 3.2.0). I worked on this project more than 5 mounts. During loading the project Premiere show message "p:\drusilla\pro\3.2.0\mediacore\mediafoundation\ap i\inc\Keyframe/Keyfrarr.. and than crash.
    I tryed everithing I know: Autosaves not work, import to new project, reinstal program and windows, open offline....
    Project is very big - 97 Gb.
    I have Windows XP Pro SP2 with CZ lokalizacion. Smaller projects work fine, without any problem.
    Please help me, Johny A.

    Johnny A,
    Lets do a review:
    You had a Project that has been worked on for five months and all worked fine. The Project opened in PP perfectly over that time. You then recorded a WAV into PP, edited some more, and now your Project will not open, and you get the error message. Did the Project function properly, after you recorded the WAV, before you Saved and shut down? If not, what seemed to be happening then?
    You have attempted the following:
    1.) Open Project in PP - result does not Open and gives error message, followed by crash
    2.) Open all AutoSaves - result does not Open and gives error message, followed by crash
    3.) Started a new Project with the same specs. as your old and tried to Import the original Project into it - result does not Import and gives error message, followed by crash
    [Good things to try, BTW]
    Does the info in this link help:
    Eddie Lotter, "import failure - error message 1231" #1, 11 Jan 2009 1:19 pm
    Has anything changed on your P:\ drive? What are the specs of your P:\? How is it connected, internal, external FireWire, USB, etc.?
    One thing that you might try would be to Move all of your Assets to a new location, especially the WAV file(s). Try to Open your Project again. As you have hidden the Assets from PP, it should ask you to locate them again. If you kept the same folder structure, but just hid the structure, you should be able to help PP locate the files and let it load them up again. Id make sure that I hid the WAV file(s) even further away in the folder structure, so you can *possibly* get the rest of your Project loaded, and just Offline the WAV file(s) for now. Then, do a Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy (without the WAV file(s). If you get the Project back to that state and Open, then try to re-Link the WAV file(s). Have a look at:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b78a80/7 if you have any questions about Save, Save_As etc., and why/when you might choose one, over the others.
    Last, there is a freeware program, XML Wrench. It can do a lot of detective work on your .PRPROJ file. Ive only used it sparingly, but others here can step you through its operation. First, however, I would download and install it. Run your PRPROJ though it and report back with what it says. Usually, a corrupt file will have bad header info. If this is the case, others can possibly direct you with way to repair that header info. There could also be some other problem, that folk here will recognize and help you cure.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Premiere CS3: How can you encode xml cue point data in the chapter section of a marker for FlashVid?

    Hi there,
    I'm a total newb to this forum, so hello adobe premiere community! I'm perplexed by Adobes documentation on Premiere (and I'm sure I'm not the first ) anyway on the live documents page below:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WS9390BED7-9466-46ea-A0E A-3240F1AFC36C.html
    it states that:
    “The cue point data in the Chapter field of a sequence marker in Adobe Premiere Pro will be encoded as Flash XML. For the XML protocol required, see Flash Help.”
    Which is great…except this information doesn’t exist seemingly in either the Premiere documentation or Flash either for that matter, but as I’m interested in working with the chapter/marker area in Premiere – should I really be told to go off and search the documentation for another application, probably not!  What would have been useful would have been a code snippet saying you do it like this, but of course, that would make things too easy!
    Basically, I understand that in After FX you can add Flash marker information specifically for interpretation when exporting to Flash Video (i.e. name, type and parameters etc) and it suggests that you can do the same above in Premiere CS3 using some kind of concatenated string in the chapter area…it just doesn’t tell you how anywhere seemingly – WHY ADOBE!
    Currently when I export markers as cue points based on the advice in the page above, anything I put in the chapter section to force Premiere to create a cue point is converted to a string, which becomes the cue point ‘name’.
    This cue point name is then automatically appended to the ‘time’ the marker was inserted at and is always encoded as type ‘navigation’, with no obvious means of adding ‘parameters’ into the equation.
    So (finally) does anyone know if you can insert this information into the chapter area for correct interpretation by flash (i.e. thus allowing you to choose between either 'navigation' or 'event' types, and pass as many 'parameters' as you wish etc) or are you just limited to supplying a name, and it being automatically set to the navigation type with no parameters?
    I’m sorry for this long essay but at least the issue is well defined for you to answer, honestly any help you can provide what so ever would really be most appreciated!
    Best regards,
    Kat
    PS – I have utterly no knowledge of XML either just in case you were wondering – and my only interest in XML is getting this basic information encoded into the FLV file from Premiere Pro CS3! Please help, pretty please with daisy’s!!!

    Hi dradeke,
    Thanks for your reply, which is indeed useful as clearly Adobe have made this task easier and less obscure in CS4 by adding simple interface functionality, however I'm stuck with using CS3 for the moment.  Its not majorly a problem as the video material in question can be exported uncompressed then setup with cue points using the Flash encoder as an alternative (i.e. or even After FX CS3 also) which both provide the same features as Premiere CS4 seemingly. It is just that it would be much easier to be able to drop in simple markers whilst working with Premiere CS3, as this is what we are going to be using primarily, I just wondered if anyone knew how to invoke this in CS3 - its possible you can't, the documentation is vague at best!
    However I really appreciate your response and help, thanks 

  • Adobe Premiere CS3 will not open!

    Adobe premiere CS3 will not open.  When I click on the Adobe icon on my desktop, I get this message:  This application has failed to start because prm.dll was not found.  I've tried several things such as:  uninstalling the program then reinstalliing it.  I tried to open Adobe by clicking on one of my projects by opening MY Computer from start on the taskbar, then click on c drive, etc. but it will not open.  Before I started getting the error message stated above, when I clicked on the icon, the program would load to the point of showing the top portion of the page (file, edit, etc.) then stop.  It would never fully load.  HELP!!!!!   I'm in the middle of trying to meet several deadlines.

    First, search your system for every instance of prm.dll. See if you have one (could be corrupt, but a Repair Install should have repaired it) in your PrPro CS3 folder hierarchy. Do you have any more? How do the dates and sizes compare to the one, if there is one, in PrPro? Here is a LINK to a .dll site. I do not know this site, so cannot even comment on their .dll's. I'd do the first suggestion, well - first.
    Also, I do not know this .dll. It could be a VST from an Audio editing program, or similar. Some of these have been known to bring PrPro to its knees, at launch. Might be worthwhile to check into it a bit more.
    Also, take a look at Event Viewer. This ARTICLE will give you some tips on what to look for. Could be more happening, than the error message might lead one to believe.
    Good luck,
