PREMIERE CS4 won't open my recent projetcts!! 3rd time ...

It's the third time now that I cannot open a saved file... I save incremently the different versions of our 26 minutes animated project.
I have no idea when/why it started - around once a month (the past 3 months) I open PREMIERE, open my latest file, and the progress bar hangs ...
I click cancel - ... then need to force quit PREMIERE... each time if I try to open an auto saved version with the same name I get the same result... lets's say I want to open #78 ... and it won't open ... then I try with #78-1, -2, -3 , -4 and -5 .. same thing ...
I try version #77 ... and the saved versions .. same problem ... version 76 opened...
I lost 2 days ...
last time Iost 2 days of work and tried 1 day to understand what happened ... used XML wrench ... did everything that is possible to try and make sense ... but here I am ... with a project that has 1600 to 1700 medias...
I regret I did not listen to people who proposed their FCP station ...
... we started the production 3 years ago (animation is a long process) with CS3 and it seemed to work well...
last year we upraded to CS4 .. and here I am really frustrated - I am even ready to pay to go back to CS3... or pay even more to go to FCP...
.. it is possible that something I did made this happen ... I work on 2 different setups: one is XP32 pro - 3.5 g ram - on a XW 8400 dual XEON 3ghz, the other setup is a DELL workstation - 8 g ram - same dual cpu 3ghz (5160) - and XP64.
WE use AE, PSD and PREMIERE. everything works fine ( never managed to have the open GL quadro 3500 cards work properly in AEthou on both machines) but PREMIERE... I am tired and feel tarpped as I will need to keep using premiere knowing that I may lose some more days of work...
sigh ...

Hi Dennis,
Throw
away your preference files - user folder/my documents/Adobe/Premiere
Pro/ Take the 4.0 folder and drag it to your desktop. Or just throw
it away. When PRemiere Pro launches again, it will create a new one.
Just tried it ... same behaviour ... progress bar stalls .. .
yeasterday evening I installed the PPro trial on my macbook - under OSX ... and the progress bar goes a bit further ... for a moment I believed I recovered my file.. but now - still waited for over one hour, as the machine was not frozen ... but nothing more happened and I needed to force quit the app...
I saw something about big projects - the biggest thing I can recommend (STRONGLY!)
is to have a 64bit OS and lots of memory. This has made a big
difference for many customers. 64-bit goodness is the future and CS4
makes use of greater memory addressing to allow it to see more than 4GB
of memory on a 64bit Os.
Yes ... this is my only real hope ... Both the computer I work on are now 64 bits/8 gig of ram - one is W7 (was xp64 before) , the other is XP64 (was xppro 32)
... it is possible that the 32 bit machine is (was) the culprit...
... and maybe the anounced 4.2 PPro upgrade may resolve whatever problem I have ...?
I'll try to read more later and get back with any other suggestions.
Thanks a lot ! any help is gtreatly apreciated !
regards !
luc the Luke!
Regards,
Dennis (Denis in French)

CS4 won't open now

Can anyone help me understand why PPro CS4 won't open all of a sudden?
I've tried rebooting, not sure what happened in the last 12 hours.
I assume i'll have to reinstall the software, but does anyone know why this happens?

Do you have SoundFlower installed?
Do you have a lot of VST's installed?
Those are two things that can affect the launch of a couple of Adobe programs. This ARTICLE (though written for the PC), might offer some things to ponder.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - there are some similar threads, where Mac users have had to do something with their log-in. They did not have to really modify things, IIRC, but just open up the control console for it. Wish I could give you more details, but I'm a PC-guy. There are maybe three threads recently.

My Premiere Pro won't open and keeps coming up with a 0xc000007b error message!! I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but it will still not open.

It worked for me, any way we have to do following things now, I have seen this happens becasue of the corrupt dll for Visual C++ packages. if the following thing will not work, I am affraid we have to reinstall the windows 7

There will be a "Recent File List" you can delete all the files inside of it.

Why eliminate it? It doesn't require any extra clicks.
The Startup page can be handy to return to documents you have
been working
on, creating new documents and many other features. If you
don't need it
just click on what you do need; .
If you insist, you can put a checkmark in "Don't show again"

My Mozilla 3.6.10 won't open no matter how many times I click it

My Mozilla 3.6.10 won't open no matter how many times I click it.. Its soo frustrating!!!It always states this ;
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

What's wrong with my Mozillla? Help!!!!
I've tried re-installing and installing it back, but failed =(

You should still have the older version of Firefox (the beta installs alongside the older version). Check under add/remove programs. If you do, just locate the .exe in program files under Mozilla, and create a shortcut.

Firefox won't open when prompted the first time. Says "Not Responding". I have to hit cntrl/alt/del then try starting again. Sometimes multiple times.

Sounds like a "hang at exit" problem. There are several possible causes for that error. See:
* How to stop the running Firefox process
** In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?
** See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
* What may cause Firefox to hang at exit
** http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs (see "Hang at exit" section)

** https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
* You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode
** You may need to use '''Safe Mode''' to locate the problem: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
**Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
** If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Premiere Pro CC won't open any recent projects.

I recently installed Premiere Pro on Creative Cloud. When I started on my project, it was all working just fine. I closed my project and tried opening it again and the Premiere icon appears on the bottom of my screen and then nothing happens. After a few seconds my cursor turns into a watch and then the app closes. How do I fix this?

I was able to start up Premiere, but I was unable to open anything, recent or new without the app shutting off. It's fine, I restarted my computer and it was working fine again. Thanks for replying!

Indesign CS4 won't open or create new files. Why???

I'm using Indesign CS4 and all of a sudden it won't open old files or creat new ones. I've restarted
my machine and program and it still won't do anything. Any ideas?

What sort of recent changes have you made on the system?
What happens when you try to open files or create new ones? What OS? IS ID patched to 6.0.6?
Have you tried trashing the prefs? See Replace Your Preferences

CS4 won't open TIFF with IBM PC Byte order

When our team tries to open images saved as TIFFs with a Byte order for IBM PC with Photoshop CS4, we get an error message that we do not have enough RAM to open the image.
We then opened the image on a machine running Photoshop CS2 with no problem, resaved the TIFF with a Macintosh Byte order and that seemed to fix the problem.
Is this a glitch that Adobe is aware of and will it be fixed in any upcoming updates?

I know of one bug like that, reading PackBits compressed images (the bug is very rare).
But if you could send me a copy of the file that won't open, I'll take a look and see if it might be a problem we don't know about.

Shared Content InDesign Plugin for InDesign CS4 won't open file

Yesterday I discontinued using Adobe CC and went back to using my Adobe InDesign CS4. CS4 is working OK but there is ONE file that won't open. I get the message "Shared Content InDesign Plugin is currently not available on your system". The file will not open. Is there a workaround or how do I get the required plugin?

You get that error when the file was saved in CS5 or later. You can find out the version using the script at Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File.
You'll need to export the file to .idml from the newer version to be able to open it in CS4. This is something I normally offer to do, but I'm not available for at least a week, so perhaps one of our other regulars can step up and volunteer.

CS4 won't open Fuji FinePix S5Pro RAW

I should have all the Adobe updates as I have it set to automatically get updates including the RAW editors. I don't know how to check what is currently installed.
CS4 won't recognize RAW files from the Fuji S5Pro. Other posters have recommended closing Adobe Bridge on similar discussion threads, but how do I see if Bridge is open? It isn't in my task bar or my task manager.
This is a Windows PC, not a Mac. I am running Windows 7.
Thank you for your assistance.

You should be able to open those files, even with the camera raw plugin that shipped with photoshop cs4.
(camera raw 5.7 is the newest camera raw plugin for photoshop cs4)
If in photoshop cs4, you go to Help>About Plug-ins and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
Is your windows 7 an 32 or 64 bit system?

Illustrator CS4 won't open any files since installing CS6

Every since I installed CS6, whenever I try to open files in Illustrator (all files, not just the new downsaved from CS6 files), the program goes into "Not Responding" and I can't do anything until I crash out. It also will not let me create new files.
I've tried deleting my Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder as I saw suggested in another discussion, but it did not help.
Since my CS6 trial is ending soon and I'm not sure about upgrading yet, I really need my CS4 to be functional.
I'm running WIndows Vista 64 bit. Never had any problems with Illustrator before this.
Any suggestions?

Ok, so I uninstalled Illustrator CS4, ran the CS Cleaner Tool, which messed up all my other CS4 programs, reinstalled the whole CS4 Suite, and Illustrator CS4 STILL won't open files (or allow me to create new ones). I only have two days left on my CS6 trial and I'm not sure if I'm upgrading right away, so I really need to figure out a way to make my AI CS4 work soon!

Site won't open after recent update

I am working using an OLD version of iweb (1.1.2 I think) and after the most recent software update it will not open my existing pages any longer. All I get is the option to build new pages. I can find the files for the old ones, but they won't open. It used to ask me which domain I wanted to open, but now it just goes straight to opening the app and asking me to create a new one. Am I the only one with this problem??? If not, does anyone have any ideas? Help!! I really don't want to have to re-build the site from scratch again. Thanks.
