Premiere CS4 doesn't work on Windows 7

I have a delicious new Windows 7 edit suite I built for nearly 3 grand, and Adobe Production Premium CS4.
Premiere doesn't work properly.
I urgently need to edit a TV documentary. I don't have time to mess around, that's why I paid for the software rather than pirate it or get something like Vegas or Pinnacle.
I try and load my Premiere project and the thumbnails for my clips are grey and the program freezes when I try to view them.
Importing the project into a new project does nothing.
I just lose response as soon as I try to play some of the clips (about half of them)
All of the clips are on a local, high speed hard drive.
I have downloaded all Window's latest updates.. Same with Adobe..
This software is fairly disgusting. I've been struggling with Adobe Premiere for many years, especially on larger projects that aren't SD DVD-AVI format.

Hi Guys
I tried doing the benchmark thing but failed-
followed the instructions on the webpage, but found afterwards that they didn't match the instructions in the RTF file..
Couldn't get the script to work- runtime error.
However, project launched in around 11 seconds, rendered in I think less than a minute, and exported both formats in about 36 seconds.
Is that useful?
I am struggling to find any more time to work with this benchmarking utility.. thanks for bringing my attention to it though.
HDD setup is
System SSD
3 x Spinpoint F3 (not in RAID as I'm struggling setting it up without wiping Windows from the SSD...)
Asus P6TD
Graphics card is the weakest link here - 8500GT, until I can afford to upgrade.. Think it has latest drivers though.
X-Fi Xtreme Gamer soundcard (very recently installed)
I do indeed have a Logitech mouse, it's using SetPoint, latest version with UberOptions.
It seems like this project is nothing less than corrupted. But nothing is helped by me importing it into a fresh project... my steps:
1. Load Prem CS4 (latest update)
2. Load Promo.prproj
3. When loaded, it takes an additional ~15 seconds of busy disk activity, loading thumbnails in the timeline etc, which it normally never does on this machine. Finally, offline symbols change to thumbnails in the project/bin pane
4. If I scroll down in the project window, the lower clips have no thumbnails and suddenly everything's fallen apart; the monitor is black, the source monitor is frozen... Sometimes Prem says not responding..

  • Premiere CS4 doesn't work properly with Windows 7 trial - Please help!

    Hello!
    I have installed the trial version of Windows 7 on my laptop and now my Premiere CS4 doesn't play the timeline in real time anymore. It worked fine with Windows Vista. I have also installed the newest Premiere update, but it didn't help. Is there a patch for Windows 7 (64bit) or will I have to wait until the full version comes out and try it again then?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    It's a laptop and probably an older one, that means it is probably underpowered.
    It's a laptop and that probably means it is a single 5400 rpm disk which is inadequate.
    Bill,
    Probably good observations. I tend to loose sight of the fact that most laptops are not like mine and forget the common limitations. One mentions "laptop," and I see my Sager - duh! on me.
    To the OP, this ARTICLE might also offer some tips on getting your computer ready for an NLE session. Common references are to how things are done in XP-Pro (my OS), but you should be able to "read between the lines," and adapt the general concepts to Win7 and your setup.
    Also, giving full specs. on your laptop might help greatly, otherwise we're all just guessing. Bill brings up a couple of critical points. Your details will either point to them, or dismiss them.
    Good luck,

  • "Email me" doesn't work in Windows

    Has anyone found that the "Email me" button doesn't work on Windows machines? I have just been told by one or two visitors to my website (www.aroundthebusch.com) who use Windows that the buttons didn't work.

    It may be a Flash Security issue... upload SWF to server, open it to browser from there and try your links again...
    Here´s one SWF exported from indesign (links to email at page 3):

  • AT-AO-10 doesn´t work with Windows 2000

    I have an AT-AO-10 board that doesn’t work with Windows 2000. I have reserved two IRQs for legacy devices (non plug and play) in BIOS. The AT-AO-10 has got assigned these IRQs, a DMA and a base address that are free, and there aren’t any hardware conflicts, but the board doesn't pass the MAX's text.
    In Windows 'Information System', the board is shown in 'Forced hardware', but I don’t know that is a problem.
    If the board is unplugged, error messages are the same.

    Hello;
    You didn't mention what version of the NI-DAQ driver you are using over there. Anyway, my suggestion to you is to uninstall the NI-DAQ driver you have installed, remove the board, reboot the machine, download and install the latest NI-DAQ version (6.9.3) from NI web site.
    Try the installation with the new driver, and if that is still not working, the best bet is to try the same installation on a different machine to double check if the hardware is not defective.

  • Bought a new Mac, migrated data, now CS4 doesn't work. Why?

    I bought a new Mac, had the Apple guys migrate my data and apps to it. Now CS4 doesn't work.
    I researched a bit and found that I SHOULD have deactivated and uninstalled CS4 from my old Mac. I've now done that.
    But do I have to uninstall CS4 files from my new Mac now--and reinstall? Will that work?

    Hi,
    I have a question related to one you answered above: "bought a new Mac, migrated data, now CS4 doesn't work."
    My situation is a little different. I am hoping you can help me with it. I hope I am not violating any protocols by asking you specifically?  A year ago I reinstalled my Mac's operating system. My CS4 is on my computer under "Previous System." I am unable to open it from there and I do not want to attempt migrating it for reasons noted above. I did try to reinstall it as you suggested to hbrady67 by dowloading from CS4 products with my serial number but I got this message: "Upgrade Check  We looked in the default location for qualifying products installed on the machine, but none were found. You may verify upgrade eligibility now by completing the fields to the right. 1) Select a product you already own. 2) Enter a serial number for this product.  CS4 wasn't in the list of selections. The protocol suggested won't work for me since I am not doing an upgrade but trying to reinstall what I already have. Can you direct me on where to go/what to do?  Thank you very much.      Bergi.
    I found the solution to this problem. I was able to download the trial version of what I have and enter the serial number from there. However, it still asked for a serial number from previous software: "your setup is for an upgrade version of Adobe Creative Suite 4." (I entered the serial number that I have for CS2. And it was accepted.  Thank you.  Bergi

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 will work under windows vista?

    Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 will work under windows vista?

    Hi,
    Thanks for posting on forum. Windows Vista is not a supported platform for Adobe Premiere pro CS6 but, you can try the installation on Vista and check if it gets installed on it. Also, if it gets installed you might face further issues while using the product.
    Thanks,

  • CS4 doesn't work after LION installation

    After the Lion installation i had several problems.
    One of these is that the cs4 doesn't work.
    i open illustrator or photoshop and they crash every time. "photoshop not responding" "illustrator not responding" and so on..
    I had to reinstall all the suite that now works.
    The question is... why??
    I thought is is better to format the mac... should i do ?
    thanks

    Another problem is:
    When I start the Dropbox Application, it uses nearly 90% of the CPU as well, so the mac heats up, in a way that it is not possible to use the dropbox application...
    (The Icon of the VLC Media Player  only jumps up and down in the dock, and nothing else happens)

  • Application Restart and Recovery APIs doesn't work for windows services

    I am using the Application Restart and Recovery mechanism (provided in Windows API Code Pack for Microsoft.NET Framework) to collect some information (i.e. stack information when there's an unhandledexception)  before my windows service crash down.
    It works well for windows form applications, but the callback method wouldn't be called if the host is a windows service. 
    I have checked the article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/subscriptions/downloads/cc303708
    But it doesn't specify clearly whether it works for a windows service. It seems that the recovery will only be activated when the user interacts with the error dialog of Windows Error Reporting (clicking "close" on the dialog, for example).
    So I am wondering is my guess right that the Application Restart and Recovery mechanism doesn't work for windows services. Or is there a better way to meet my requirement? 

    I would suggest trying ARR if that's what you want to use.  The restart portion won't work, but it doesn't need to as if you fail out of your service, the Windows service controller will handle recovery (up to and including restarting your service).
     You configure those recovery actions either through code or one of the built in administrative tools for services such as services.msc.  
    DebugDiag/ADplus and similar tools ultimately do use built-in APIs; you don't need to add anything external to collect debugging information.  You do however have to write a good deal of code to do somethings.  It's pretty simple to use the unmanaged
    function that I pointed out before and
    MiniDumpWriteDump to write a minidump when you hit an unexpected error(the dbghelp.dll that comes installed with Windows has it so you don't need anything additional installed).  You can even write a basic debugger that literally debugs a process using
    only kernel32 functions (see
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms679301(v=vs.85).aspx if you're interested).

    Hi candy, glad that you found that Shockwave Flash Object, it works with the Flash files and is very important
    The NPSWF files that you said are not there, those are for the Firefox browser or Chrome or some other browser. If you use Firefox and want the Flash Player for that, then close all of your browsers so you are only looking at your Desktop.
    Click on this Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop. Then RUN it from your Desktop, and after it is finished Installing, Restart your computer.
    Then Using Firefox go to the plug-ins and find a SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is Enabled. This is just like the Shockwave Flash Object for Internet Explorer, but it is the one that works with Firefox.
    Let me know if that is what you wanted to do. If you don't use Firefox, but Chrome or another browser, then this will work for that one also.
    If you don't use another browser, then don't do any of this. I just thot maybe you did and that is why you were concerned that the NPSWF files were not there.
    Thanks,

  • Satellite A210 (PSAEG) - Microphone doesn't work on Windows 7 64bit

    Hello, the micro doesn't work under windows 7 64 bit, the driver I'm using is Windows Vsta 64 bit. The volume is set up maximun and so is the amplification but no way to make it work with skype or toshiba camera assistant software.
    Can anyone help me?
    thank you

    Hi Largo09,
    Usually you have to install the webcam and sound driver to get the microphone working. The microphone is a part of webcam
    As you wrote, Satellite A210 is not Windows 7 64bit supported so the only option you have are Vista 64bit drivers
    In my opinion you should check if Microphone is enabled in Windows sound settings. There you can also enable Microphone boost, that can increase the microphone volume.

    Hi DJ2512,
    I understand you have a Deskjet 2512 that is not able to open the Printer Assistant, it opens to text pages. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will definitely do my best to assist you!
    From what you've described, it sounds like your Printer Assistant is opening to a Notepad page. I'd suggest that you follow this HP Printer Assistant Opens with a Script Error or in Notepad document to get the issue resolved.
