Premiere elements 12 does not launch, nothing happens

I've been using Premiere Elements 12 a few weeks ago and it used to work fine but since yesterday I'm not able to launch it. I don't get any error message, just nothing happens.
I tried to reinstall it, disable the firewall too, but nothing works I don't know what to do.
I own a Dell Inspiron 15R, Windows 8 64bit, intel core i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHz 2.30GHz.
Any suggestions ?

After chloroform started this thread, soon afterward BillMMBill introduced similar issues. It gets confusing when more than one exchange of information is going on at the same time and user specific Q&A from more than one user is interwoven. Consequently, good idea to monitor the results in this thread, but it would probably be to your advantage to start your own new thread if you do not see answers in the thread we are in now going in your direction.
I have been trying to weave in and out of chloroform and BillMMBill specifics.
For now I would offer this
a. Are you working with Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements?
b. Have you read all the information in the links provided in this thread?
c. Have you attempted to uninstall/ccleaner/reinstall the Adobe Reader if you suspect that its update is at the core of your problems?
If you are dealing with version 12 (the latest version) and if problems defy resolution, you may want to contact Adobe via Adobe Chat to discuss the topic "Downloading, Installing, and Setting Up". Other choices might bounce you back to the forums.
Contact Customer Care
After the link opens, click on "Still Need Help. Contact Us." to bring up the Adobe Chat to discuss Premiere Elements Downloading, Installing, and Setting Up.
If this is really a Photoshop Elements 12 based issue, then please check out the SLStore and SLCache Folder fix in

That worked for me with for Photoshop Elements 12 Editor that would not open.

I have consolidate my folders related to the video I am in the progress of working on. Premiere elements does not follow their new location. How do I syn them back up all at once so premiere doesn't ask me for their location when I open the project

This is the Photoshop Elements forum, not the Premiere Elements forum, located here:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
When you open the project, it should ask you where the first file is located. After you tell it where it is, it should be able to find the rest of them if they are located near the first one. Then save the file. If you move the files again, you will have to relink them again.

Adobe Premiere Elements does not open after installation

Hello,
I have written before last week. I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11.
I had a trial version of Photoshop Elements 11 and with the code I could access the full version.
However Premiere Elements did not open after installation. I did not had a trial version so I first downloaded the full program. I went through the whole installation process and everything seemed ok, no error messages. But when I tried to open Adobe Premiere Elements after restarting the computer it did not open at all. Nothing happened.
I have de-installed and re-installed the program for a couple of times over and over again but with not result. Also tried to download the trial version first and also this didn't work. I checked my Quicktime and updated to the latest version.
I use a Windows laptop: Asus Intel Core i5-2430M, 2,4 GHz
I hope you can help me out!
Thanks!
Inge

Yes I saw it but PSE (refers to Photo Shop Elements??) and I have trouble with Premiere Elements..(so the video program)
The Photoshop Elements worked.
I am not sure what to do here also the link at your reply "working with your operation system tools" didn't work..(got the "broken link error")
thanks

Photoshop + Premiere Elements 11 not launching/registering/opening?

Dear Community,
I have researched the above topic in many forums but could not find any solution?
Bought the elements PSE & PRE on CD, have the serial numbers. I am running Windows 8 (64bit) and have installed both PSE and PRE on Program Files (x86).
Followed the instructions, entered the serial numbers for both and did a system restart.
When launching both programs from desktop nothing happens after "Adobe Software License Agreement Screen".
Have tried to run with administrator and progressed beyond "Adobe Software License Agreement Screen", but was promted to enter serial numbers again and after that nothing happened still.
I have tried other solutuions, uninstall/re-install, disable anti-virus, registering products on Adobe site etc.
Please help because I might have to return the software.
I have been using Photoshop in different versions over a number of years.
Tiaan Viljoen

Problem found!
After receiving support from Adobe I was instructed to delete the "cache" file in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache
That worked.
Thank you,

Adobe premiere Elements does not find my Sony HDR-CX160

When I try to use my Hi-DEF Sony HDR-CX160 video camera, Adobe premiere Elements 10 does not "find" the camera. Why not?
Dan Eller

When you do use Windows Explorer (or Mac Finder, I think... I don't have a Mac... and you did not say) to copy the files from the camera to your hard drive, do as it says in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1015001?tstart=0 so you don't lose the metadata

Premiere Elements 11 not launching on MacBook Pro

Is there any tips or trick to get PE 11 to launch on my Macbook Pro? It shuts down or I get the spinning beach ball everytime I open it. I have tried uninstall/reinstall. This doesn't work either.
HELP!!
Ainsley

Ainsley
Are you working with Premiere Elements 11 Mac (purchased from Adobe), Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Editor (Mac Only) from the Mac App Store, or Premiere Elements 11 Quick Editor (Mac) from the Mac App Store?
Is this a "worked before but not now" or "it never worked before" issue?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 11? Have you checked your permissions?
More later.

Premiere Elements does not recognize my blu ray burner LG WH10LS30

I am not able to burn to my LG Bluray Burner (model WH10LS30).
I am able to burn to another standard DVD drive, but I am trying to burn a HD Bluray now.
My drive does have the latest firmware as of 12/2013 and works fine in my Win7 64bit environment
When I try to burn the DVD I get a "No Burners Detected" see attached image
Here is my drive in Device Manager

Thanks for the follow up.
1. Did you overcome the Shared Technologies error on reinstall? That is a troublesome issue that is independant of Premiere Elements version and computer operating systems. There are many suggested remedies. The one that has been working for me lately is renaming the OOBE Folder to OLDOOBE before reinstall.
Local Disk C
Program Files (x86)
Common Files
Adobe
and in the Adobe Folder is the OOBE Folder that you rename if this Shared Technologies error is blocking an install or reinstall.
As for
The setup has detected that ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe dynamiclinkmanager (dynamiclinkmanager.exe)
Opening to Task Manager/Processes, finding those .exe files, and doing an End Process typically takes care of those problems.
Since you have reinstalled the program, you must have succeeded in the above. Great job.
Have you done an inspection, seeking pile ups of preview files, conformed audio, and conformed video files? Is the computer defragmented? These days the defragmentation is done automatically, but worth checking.
You indicated that the video card driver is up to date. Was the latest update done after Premiere Elements 11 was working well? If so, you could look at roll back of the video card driver version. If it does not improve the situation, you could always revert to the one that you know to be current.
A remote possibility that an antivirus update might be involved in the recent events. Have you looked at your present situation with and without the antivirus enabled?

Premiere elements does not recognize Blu-Ray disc, says media not present. Under 12 I was able to record 3 blu-ray dvds using the same burner and discs I'm trying with 13. What is the problem?

I installed PE13 and cannot burn blu-ray DVDs. I was able to burn 3 blu-ray DVDs using PE12. When I select DVD from the menu it recogniazes that it is not a stadard DVD as I get an 'incorrect media' error message. It will burn standard DVDs of the same video using standard DVD mefia.
What is going on here?
When I loaded PE 12 back on the computer I cannot load a file created with PE13. Looks like a format change? Can I convert file back to PE12?

Terrible news. Sorry about that.
The following is an excerpt from my Premiere Elements 13 blog post, the section on Publish+Share/Disc
The ISO Image choice is only in Premiere Elements 13.
DISC. Major Changes Include Burn to offering ISO Image for DVD, Blu-ray, and AVCHD plus 2 new 1080p @ 23.976 presets for Blu-ray.
The major categories of Publish+Share/Disc/ are DVD, Blu-ray, and Blu-ray. DVD and AVCHD offer burn to disc, folder, and new ISO image. Blu-ray offers burn to disc and new ISO image.Like 12, the new version's DVD, Blu-ray, and AVCHD presets do not have an Advanced Button under which to customize the preset and do not have a "Share Work Area Bar Only" option for selective sharing of the Timeline content Sketch of DVD, Blu-ray, AVCHD includes

Look to Burn To: in the Burn Dialog, and scroll down there to the option that you want.
Please let me know if this ISO Image choice is going to work for you. But I will keeping searching for the answer to these no media present situations.

PhotoShop Elements does not launch

I purchased PhotoShop Elements; did not download the trail version. It worked nice; I liked it. I then had to do a system restore unrelated to Photoshop. Afterwards, I re-installed PhotoShop. When I launch PhotoShop I have the option to select the Organizer or Photo Editor. I can't launch either; a message appears that says my trial has expired. I have spent 3 hours with Adobe tech support and they could not get it to work. I was told if I still had the issue, call tech support again...this isn't exactly tech support. They also told me that re-installing this software will cause it to NOT launch. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe someone out there has and found a solution that will work for me. Thanks!

Good day!

Updated Windows to 8.1 and now Premiere Elements does not see my Panasonic video camera as source

Is anyone else having issues due to the updated Windows 8.1? I have a panasonic digital video mini casset camera that worked fine using a USB cable to upload video. Now the program will not see the camera as a source. Using a firewire is not an option and was not an issue in the past.

Premiere elements does not accept a serial number

Hello,
I installed Premiere Elements 11 on a computer one month ago with a serial number.
Yesterday I bought a new computer, and threw the old one away.
Now I want to install Premiere Elements 11 on my new computer, but the serial number is rejected.
How can I manage this problem?

Downloading installer works, but installation does not. Nothing happens. New laptop with Win 7 (no earlier Firefox version) & Norton Anti-virus. 3rd Firefox

When I click button to install now, it only restarts the EZ download installer again. I've gone through the process at least 15 times now. I installed FireFox twice before on Windows XP with no issue. I've tried by turning off Norton, computer shut down & restarts, searched Internet Explorer settings for a setting to change, and still no success. I see no one else having this problem in the troubleshooting files, so it must be me.
New laptop with plenty of harddrive space. Internet Explorer version 9.0.8112.16421. Bing search - yech

finitarry,
Thank you for contributing.
I have downloaded the 607 KB "Firefox_Setup_19.0.2.exe" file four times now from at least three different Mozilla websites via EZDownload. I was very careful about that because one time I did it with Norton Anti-virus temporarily disabled. I double-click on the above file and it opens a new window with various "extra" software options and finally arrives at "Install Now" or "Later" buttons. Clicking"Install Now" brings up a Windows Open File - Security Warning box with "Run" or "Cancel" buttons. Clicking "Run" starts the setup file all over. I'm in an endless do-loop. It never installs Firefox and no new Firefox files show up on my PC.
AliceWyman,
Thank you for contributing.
Before beginning this post, I scoured the Support files and especially the "Download, Install and Migration" help files. Most topics close to mine deal with the Norton toolbar, which seems to have been resolved.
Doing some more looking, I found that my setup file was always 607KB, yet the website says it is 19.6MB. When I download it to my Windows 7 laptop, I have gotten a 607 KB size file four times, even though the process did not seem to be interrupted. However, using my Windows XP PC, I get 19.6MB. That could be the problem. I'll transfer the 19.6MB file from the XP to Win7 and see if that works. Thanks. I'll get back to you.
3/24/2013: It worked. Hallelujah!
Someone might want to verify this only happens to me. Maybe it is one of my settings or a fluke or maybe I'm paranoid, but a brand-new laptop with Windows 7 factory-installed stops the Firefox download at 607KB four times in a row (on different days) with no error message. I have to transfer the file from an old Windows XP PC. That sounds to me like Microsoft is trying to prevent the use of Firefox. It could have been something in Windows 7 Home Premium (service pack 1), Internet Explorer (version 9.0.8112.16421 64-bit), Bing, or less likely, Norton Anti-Virus (because I ran it disabled one time - even though Norton labelled the file as medium risk). Just a thought . . .
Right now, I am happily setting up the rest of my system around the quicker, more efficient, more user-friendly, less restricting, Firefox browser. Thank you. =)

Capturing from Sony DCR in Premiere Elements 13 not possible?

Premiere Elements does not find the device (SONY DCR-TRV120E PAL), although it is recognized in "Devices and Printers" as "AV/C Subunit / Sony DV Camcorder" (WIN 7) and the device is also recognized and capturing correctly under MS Movie Maker.
Thanks for any helpful advice!

Thanks for the reply.
Hope you can use the workarounds suggested in the Adobe document.
Are you within 30 days of purchase from Adobe direct on this one? If so, you can seek a refund/money back from Adobe.
If you purchased from an authorized reseller, then you have to deal with the seller according to the sellers return/refund policy.
If an Adobe online purchase, then Adobe Chat Orders should be able to take care of the refund details.

Premier Elements 11 installed but does not launch

I installed premier elements 11, the installation did not have any problems, but when I click on the icon nothing happens. It does not give an error message, is does not try to do anything, it simply does not launch. I uninstall, turn off the norton software, did a clean boot to prevent other services to load, re-installed the software and the problem continues.
I have window 7 64 bits 8 gb memory, more than enough disk space. What else can be wrong that is preventing the application from launching?

Hi,
Could you please try the following solutions and see if any of these work:
1. Navigate to 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe' located inside:
    Win x64: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
    Win x32: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
     Right click on 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe' and select 'Run as Admin'
2. Just after this keep on pressing 'Ctrl+Alt+Shift' on Windows (or Command+Option+Shift on Mac). You will get a popup asking to delete Elements settings file. Click Yes.
If the above does not work, please try the following:
3. Please rename SLCache folder present at location "<root drive:>\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache"
Also please rename opm.db on your machine to resolve this issue @ <root drive>\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Now re-launch the application.
4. In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
5. Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
If none of these work, please let me know.

vaishali
