Premiere CS4 freezing on startup menu, please help.

Hi,
I installed Adobe Premiere CS4 not too long ago as part of Master Collection and all the other programs seem to work but Premiere doesn't.
Whenever I open Premiere CS4, the splash screen loads up and then I get that menu with New Project and Open Project buttons. That's when it freezes. The buttons don't work and whenever I click on them the menu flickers slightly and nothing happens. I tried closing some Adobe processes like acrotray and Import Process but that didn't help.Has this got something to do with Quicktime or something else? Please help, I need Premiere CS4 to work on my college assignments.

I solved the problem!:)
I actually found it through the panel on the right for similar problems.
Apparently WindowBlinds 6 was the cause of the probelm and there was an option in it that I had to change.
Now Premiere works.

I can't seem t find your model in the Toshiba US support site.
However, usually, you tap the F8 key while powering up and it brings you into the Start Up recovery menu.

Premiere CS4 freezing with ATI 4850

My system:
Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz
EVGA 141-BL-E757-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX X58 SLI
Corsair 750W PSU
6GB DDR3
and I've upgraded from a Geforce 7800GT to an ATI XFX Radeon HD 4850.
Adobe Premiere CS4 freezes after a minute or so of playback with my ATI HD 4850. The screen literally freezes and I have no choice but to force a reboot. On my Geforce 7800GT, the playback is laggy/unresponsive but it never froze.
I've sent it in to XFX for repair previously because it wouldn't play back any HD video files. But now everything plays fine except playback in Adobe Premiere. XFX even sent me a benchmark test for Devil May Cry and because my computer passed, they refuse to RMA the card again.
I've tried EVERYTHING!
- Several different versions of the drivers: 10.4,10.3,9.11, all with no luck.
- Enable ATI Overdrive: when I auto-tuned it, it immediately crashed my computer and would do so consistently upon start-up so I had to disable it.
Any advice/comments/feedback would be greatly appreciated.
This is my second ever ATI card and I must say I've been very disappointed. I have never been able to have one work 100% for even a full 24 hours!!!

I had issues with my Radeon 4670, similar but not quite the same as yours. In my case, rolling back drivers to 9.11 was the solution, but it sounds like you've already attempted that. If that hasn't solved the problem, and you're only seeing the issue after a minute or so of running PPro (my issue revealed itself immediately), I would look at a cooling/overheating problem. The newer GPUs (even though the 4000 series isn't that new) run hot even when they're not doing anything, and once you put them under any sort of load, the temperatures skyrocket. And since yours crashes during the auto-tuning, this lends more creedence to this theory; I was able to clock mine all the way up, but it's got a big honkin' aftermarket cooler on it.
I'm assuming you didn't send your whole PC in when you RMA'ed the card, so, 1) you don't know what kind of setup they tested the card in and 2) you don't know if they tested the card at all. For all practical purposes, this card should work "fine" with CS4, so the likelihood increases that there is some sort of physical defect with the card or cooling. Other folks here have a better grasp of the hardware and how to get the most from it (I'm more of a plug-it-in-and-hope-it-works kind of guy), so they might be able to tell you some ways to test the card and check its operating temperatures.

If you have Apple Care, call them and get a case number. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Do you have any capture cards in the computer? For example, Blackmagic, Aja, Matrox, CineForm, etc.
If so, it's software might be causing the problem. Go to "Programs And Features" in the Vista Control Panel to remove the software for the capture card. Restart the computer and then try again.
Did you install any plug-ins for Premiere?
If so, remove them and see if the problem goes away.
Also, where are you saving your projects? Try saving one to your Desktop and see if you still have the problem. If you don't, then it could be a problem with your save location.

Photoshop elements 12 freezing on 'initializing'. Please help!

I bought of DVD copy of Elements 12 in june and has been working perfectly until very recently. I use a wacom intuos pro (small) graphics tablet and have been using it perfectly with Elements 12 (and CS5) for the last 2 months, until I updated the driver for my tablet (both cord and wireless). Since updating the driver for the tablet, neither Elements 12 or CS5 will open. They launch and freeze on the startup image when it reached 'Initializing', everytime for the last week without fail.
I've done everything I can think of to fix this problem, from changing the permissions of the SLS Store and Adobe PCD folders, uninstalling and re-installing both soft-wares (which resulted in Elements 12 telling me it was only a trial version worth 30 days, and asking me to lisence the software when ever it successfully launched) and restoring the computer to an earlier date.
I've only been able to open the programmes when I didnt have my tablet plugged in, and then it would crash after a few minutes (or immediately when I plugged the tablet in). I've rebooted the tablet multiple times and have finally got it working properly, but Elements 12 and CS5 still refuse to launch.
I'm running on a 64 bit version of Windows 7, with 8 GB RAM and up to 3.1 GHz.
Please help!

ITunes 9.2 Freezes using Windows 7 - Please Help!!

Hi, i'm currently using iTunes 9.0.0.70 on a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ430E laptop with Windows 7. I tried to upgrade my version of iTunes to 9.2 and everything seems to run through and install fine until i actually try and open the 9.2 version. What happens then, is when i double click the iTunes program shortcut, absolutely everything on my computer comes to a complete and utter halt. And by that i mean i cannot move my the cursor controlled by my mouse, pressing ctrl alt & del does nothing and i basically have to switch the laptop off by pressing the button until the whole thing switches off. I've tried running iTunes again once the restart has taken place but the same thing happens - complete freeze of everything on my computer. The little hard disk light stops flickering and nothing happens at all. So i uninstalled iTunes 9.2 and have now gone back to using 9.0.0.70.
Now, i've also got an iPhone 3GS with which i used the computer (PC tower) downstairs to install the OS4. As you can probably imagine, i am now in a position whereby i cannot connect my iPhone to iTunes 9.0.0.70 because it says it needs iTunes 9.2 to be able to do anything. There is where my problem truly lies. I do not mind using iTunes 9.0.0.70 but becasue all of my music, media etc is on my laptop, it now means my iPhone is rendered pretty much useless because iTunes does not and will not recognise it because it has OS4 and needs iTunes 9.2 to be able to sync to my phone.
I need to be able to install iTunes 9.2 but every bloody time i do so, it freezes up when i try to open the program and i cannot sync my iPhone cos the only iTunes i can use is 9.0.0.70!!
Can anyone please help me with this!?????

A 652?
Some digging at Microsoft answers indicated that this can sometimes be associated with trouble with the Windows Installer. Does the following technique help?
+I followed the following steps (found on a goggle search) and tehn installed the updates+
+1 - Navigate to "Services and Applications" in Computer Management. (right click on Computer and click Manage) DO THIS UNDER LOGIN WITH ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS.+
+2 - Expand the Services and Applications+
+3 - Click on Services+
+4 - In the right side of window sort by Name and go down to Windows Installer. By default the start up type will be set to Manual. (You will notice that the status will read 'Started' even though you know that it is not really running)+
+5 - Right click on it and select properties+
+6 - In the middle of the popup box you will see Startup Type. Use the drop down arrow and select 'Disabled' and click apply.+
+7 - Close out and reboot. The service is now set to disabled so on reboot it will not still think it has been started. Now follow the above steps again and select 'Manual' and click apply and close out the Computer Management screen.+

MacBook Pro won't Startup! Please Help!!

I installed 2 softwares this morning, "USB Screen Lock" and " Logonkey". Both allow u to unlock your mac with a usb drive. After installing USB screen lock i tested it out, put my computer to sleep and then came back a few hours later to test out Logonkey. After downloading the free version on their website and installing it, it requierd a restart. When my mac was turning on, it got stuck after showing the Apple logo. All i see is a gray screen with a spinning circle that comes and goes after a couple of seconds. This same thing keeps repeating for hours. I dont know if it's related to one of the softwares or not. I tried to Safe Boot it but it didnt make any difference. Also reseted the NVRAM/PRAM thingy but it didnt make any difference either.
Please help!! :(

You need to reinstall Lion. If that doesn't help, then there's a deeper problem that could or could not be related to the software you installed.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Ipod shuffle randomly freezes....please help!!!!

My Ipod shuffle seems to randomly freeze after certain songs, or spots on the shuffle. I dont recall exactly when this first started, but it seems like ive tried everything. I have tried scandisk, defrag, resetting the ipod, updating it to latest firmware, and still nothing. The problem occurs whether or not I am in shuffle mode, or straight play. I would appreciate any help what so ever. I am at my wits end. I dont understand it at all. Scandisk detected no errors. Should I attempt to format it? Please help!!!!

Hello, Chris.
If the problem is corrupt files, there are a couple of things you can try.
Remove the songs from the shuffle's playlist, then refill the shuffle - but don't let the offending song(s) reload; we're trying to overwrite the memory. Then you can let these songs back on. If the problem continues:
If the songs weren't purchased from iTMS, try re-reripping/re-encoding them. Then reload them.
(These steps have worked with all but one song for me. I've never figured out why, probably just coincidence, but I have one song that would only play a couple of times before this started happening again. It's off the shuffle's playlist for good.)
If the songs were purchased from iTMS (and in another post I think you'd indicated they were) you can try to get them replaced or you can go the route of making an audio CD from them and reimporting the songs.
(I've never tried this, and one poster in this forum has indicated it will cause an unacceptable loss of quality.)
Good luck

Adobe Premiere CC Trial Version "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down." PLEASE HELP!

Every time I open any project in Adobe Premiere CC Trial Version, I get the message "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will try to save your project." I can't edit at all and am totally stuck. Please help!
It's terrible that this is happening on the trial version as it's making me want to go straight back to FCP! Also - I've tried switching external hard drive and that also doesn't work.
Thank you!

So, opening a new project works?

hi ironmax,
As a last resort, you can:

Backup important before doing a factory reset

Itouch stuck on startup screen-please help!

My itouch has been stuck on the startup screen since last night; first I tried letting it charge, and after 30 minutes with no results I unplugged it, let the battery drain completely and started again. After another hour of charging with no results I tried restarting it, again with no results-upon restarting it returned to being stuck on the startup screen. This morning I tried letting it drain again and it became extremely hot until it turned off again. A while ago I plugged it into my computer, hoping to reset and restore it, but it is now, once again, stuck on the startup screen. It's not even being recognized by iTunes or my computer. My ipod is NOT jailbroken btw. Please help!! I don't think I can go on much longer without my music lol

What do you mean by startup screen?
Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is likely in order since the hotness tends to indicate as hardware problem.
