Premiere Elements 9 Trial Ver, We have detected an incompatible display driver. Help

When I downloaded the Premiere Elements 9 30 Day Trial Version and installed it. Started the program, proceeded to load, then a message pops up saying:
We have detected an incompatible display driver. To get a better and
faster playback performance, please update your display driver.
Display driver details: Microsoft Corporation - GDI Generic 1.1.0
It happens everytime it's loading PlayerMediaCore.prm, I have the latest ATI drivers when I go into Control Panel> System and Security> Device Manager under Display adapters tab. It's an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650, clicked update driver and says its already has the latest drivers. I have never of heard of a display driver from Microsoft, I know it means graphics device interface. How would update this?
Any info or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it, Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
Take a look at this FAQ Entry.
Hope that this helps, and good luck,

Premiere Elements 10 Error on load - "we have detected an incompatible display driver"

Greetings! I was happily using this software for several weeks without problems when one day for no apparent reason (no new hardware or significant software changes) I now get this error constantly when trying to run the software - "we have detected an incompatible display driver. to get better and faster playback performance, please update your display driver. display driver details : intel - intel bear lake B 1.4.0 - Build 7.15.10.5218"
I then updated the intel graphics drivers to the latest version but to no avail. I have tried four different driver versions from oldest to newest and still no success. I have un-installed the software, drivers, started from fresh with all imaginable combinations, CCleaner-ed the hard drive, virus scanned, defragmented, updated windows, etc. I am now at a loss for what to do next, beyond insisting for a refund and going to another software company for my video editing needs.
My machine is a 2Ghz Dual-Core, 4GB RAM, 80GB available HDD space, running windows XP pro SP3, updated everything drivers and OS.
I find this problem even more confusing given the fact that is was working, then decided not to work any more. Perhaps something updated in the background without my knowledge?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS - I have tried all the things on this list relating to Premiere Elements version 9, but none have helped - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/875/cpsid_87588.html

If none of the troubleshooting for the display adaptor (graphics card driver update, BadDrivres.txt etc.) do not work, we have to understand that the display could actually not be supported. By display, I mean the card-driver-driver version combination. So,
1. It could be a bad card - None of the available drivers work for the application. Here, ditch the card and get a newer one that works.
2. It could be a bad driver - For e.g. Only DirectX drivers work, OpenGL ones could be pathetic (Many games detect this and if this is bad, I have seen Photoshop struggle with this). Or some display configurations would be badly supported (multiple monitors, some funny resolutions, some of the ports, crossfire etc.). Older drivers/cards/some OEM drivers etc. have these issues in my experience.
3. It could be a bad driver version - Here upgrade or a downgrade works.
Because of a Video editor, the (lack of) capabilities of the card is highlighted. Video Playback alone doesn't nearly exercise the capabilities the cards usually have to offer. Editing really does. That is why it matters if the Video Editor actually says that it supports Graphics acceleration (Or GPU acceleration) for any of the workflows.
What I am saying here is that when we blame the application for any of the issues, we have to be certain that the issues are NOT due to one of the mentioned three causes. I have seen this all too often in the gaming forums, Nero forums (some years back), in PPro forum, and here. If the application menufacturer is really to blame, the mistake would be all too obvious and too many of us would have complained about it. I do not think this is the case with Premiere Elements 10.
Introspection works.

Error message: "We have detected an incompatible display driver..."

I have loaded PE12 on my Sony Vaio laptop running Windows 8.0 and keep getting this error message...
"We have detected an incompatible display driver. To get a better and faster playback performance, please update your display driver."
I have an Intel (R) HD Graphis 4000 video card. I have updated to the most current driver available... Driver Version 8.982.6.0 but the PE12 will not open and keeps giving this error. I have tried uninstal and install to no avail.
Any ideas?

The following is an excerpt of the details that I wrote in another thread regarding the path to the BadDrivers.txt path in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
For Premiere Elements 12 on those new computer operating systems the route to the BadDrivers.txt file is as follows
Local Disc C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
and then in the Premiere Elements Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. You should find it there as a file. NOT in a folder named 12.0 inside the Premiere Elements Folder.
Be sure to be working with Folder Options Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path.
We will be watching for your results.
Thank you.

Again, do not forget to set Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives to be active so that you can see the complete path.
Please let us know the outcome.

Did you realize that you posted in a 2 year old thread?
What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system is it running?
Are you having a problem with the following error message?
We have detected an incompatible display driver--please update
If so, you might want to start your own new thread on your specific issue in your specific computer environment, including
details.
Have not seen the above error message respond to your suggestion
Try to make your monitor screen resolution higher

Premiere Elements 12 does not start after error message: display driver is incompatible

After successful installation and starting Premiere Elements the following error message appears: "Uncompatible display driver identified. Update the display driver for a better and faster playback performance!" Hopefully my translation from German is helpful enough. I confirmed with OK but unfortunately Premiere Elements does not start. I checked the display driver: it is the most actual one: AMD Radeon HD 7610M. Furthermore the hardware should be OK as well: ASUStek with an Intel Core i5-2450M CPU @2.5 GHz; 6 GB RAM; 64 Bit Windows 7 Service Pack 1. What can I do?

Moonkeys25
Recap...please confirm that as of this date, the problem exists with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
Moving forward...
If you issue was specific to the display card error that you have been getting then probable conclusions
a. the ADM Radeon H7610M driver version is not up to date
or
b. the ADM Radeon H7610 M video card/graphics card installed as is is not compatible with Premiere Elements 12 on your Windows 7 SP1 64 bit
The updated driver version and the BadDrivers.txt file deletion should have corrected the problem unless there is a gross mismatch between Premiere Elements 12 and ADM Radeon H7610M.
Did you use the link that John posted to get the auto detection of the latest driver version for the ADM card?
If we have gone as far as we can with the card and its driver version angle on this, then we can try the generalized troubleshooting drills with no guarantees, just hopes
1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. You just need to make sure to have the computer's Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
2. If "1" has no effect on the issue...uninstall, ccleaner run through time, reinstall with antivirus and firewalls turned off.
a. Control Panel/Program, select Adobe Premiere Elements 12, right click the entry and click on the Uninstall pop up. Then follow the instructions for the uninstall.
b. Download and install the free ccleaner for a computer run through to get rid of leftovers from incomplete uninstalls and installs.
https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
When you are ready for this step, I will give you a step by step through the ccleaner (regular cleaning part and registry cleaning part).
c. Reinstall from your installation files or installation disc, with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
Please review above and then let me know if I have interpreted correctly where we are in the troubleshooting. Do not start the above plan until we are in agreement on the details and hoped for results.
Thanks.

Incompatible display driver - premiere elements 12 & 13

I've been trying to get adobe premiere elements working on some Lenovo T520 laptops. These are an advanced model laptop so shouldn't have issues with display drivers. When attempting to run Adobe premier elements 12 or 13 I get the error message 'we have detected an incompatible display driver. To get a better and faster performance, please update your display driver'
I have read through every available forum and website to fix this and have done the following to no avail;
Upgraded Intel HD Grapics 3000 driver to latest version
Disabled second graphics card (NVIDIA NVS 4200M) in device manager
Changed BIOS settings to run graphics from onboard Intel HD graphics (this removed the NVIDIA graphics card from device manager
Installed latest version of Quicktime
Searched for badddrivers.txt file on C drive and specifically in c:\programdata\adobe\premiereelements
Removed the adobe user profile data folders
Can you advise if there is any other possible fix for this issue? I've run out of options and have spent way too much time on this.

You wrote
Searched for badddrivers.txt file on C drive and specifically in c:\programdata\adobe\premiereelements
So what did you do after the search? Did you find the BadDrivers.txt file for Premiere Elements 12 and 13 and delete it?
If you have not already, delete the BadDrivers.txt file for version 12 and 13.
Assuming that you are using Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit....
If just have 12 installed...
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
Depending on how many versions of Premiere Elements you have installed on that same computer, there will be folders in the Premiere Elements Folder.
You do not want anything that is in those folders in the Premiere Elements Folder. You just want to delete that lone BadDrivers.txt file which is for Premiere Elements 12 and is found outside the 12.0 Folder there.
Versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 12.0 have their BadDrivers.txt file inside their folder in the Premiere Elements Folder.
Now if you have Premiere Elements 13 installed along with 12 on the same computer, they will share this same BadDrivers.txt file. However, the baggage that 13 will bring to this area is a file named "Current Display Driver.txt". Do not bother with it.
After the BadDrivers.txt file is deleted, you close out of there, and reopen the program, the program generates a new BadDrivers.txt file but hopefully the display card error message(s) are gone. For more details, see item 0005 of my Premiere Elements 13 Daily Discoveries blog post
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: Premiere Elements 13 Daily Discoveries
Important: Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the path cited.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

Incompatible display driver message prevents start up of premiere Elements

I have downloaded and installed Premiere elements 12 on a PC running Windows 8.1 64 bit with two display drivers and 2 monitors. When I start Premiere Elements and select the Video editor/New Project I get an error message "We have detected an incompatible display driver. To get a better and faster playback performance, please update your display driver". If I click OK the error message comes up a second time and then I get the bar for about 30 seconds and then nothing happens. I am using an Intel on board display driver for my second monitor and an AMD r2 700 series card for my primary display.

PrE 12. How to deal with black screen "Created with Adobe Premiere Elements trial version"?

I'm really considering purchasing PrE 12 and would like to try it out. (I have another video editing software and would like to try this one.)
When I add video, I get a black screen "Created with Adobe Premiere Elements trial version". When I hit play, I can hear audio, but I don't get any video (just the black screen). Is there a work around, a setting that I can change, or is the trial version supposed to show the black screen?
Thanks,

I bought at Media Market the CD for installing Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 but I have no disc drive. Is it possible to install and register it online?

I was in the same boat as you, so I went to Best Buy and purchased the box (on sale, by the way). I then downloaded the trials separately for Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements from the Adobe product site.
In the box you should have been given 2 discs (one for Photoshop Elements (PS) and one for Premiere Elements (PE)) and something called a "redemption code" on a square of colorful cardboard with instructions on how to get your serial keys for installation. The single redemption code is NOT the serial/product key you use to install your purchase. Once you follow the instructions on this card you will be shown two serial/product codes, one each for PE and PS. Write them down, print them, whatever, you will need them during installation.
Now go to the downloaded trial file(s) and run the installer, either for PE first or PS, it makes no difference. During the installation you will be asked if you want to start a trial or use a serial/product code. Choose "I have a code". Enter the product key and you will be golden. Repeat for the other program.
Hope this helps!

Adobe premiere elements trial version

in my adobe premiere elements the text 'premiere elements trial version' stays in the videodisplay, how can I remove this?

marrithoekstra
Just in case notes that may sometimes get overlooked.....
1. After purchase of the Premiere Elements, you can remove the Adobe watermark from a project file (project.prel) that you created during the tryout. But, you cannot remove the Adobe watermark that exists in one of the exports from the tryout project.prel file (even after you get a purchased serial number and are working from the purchased program).
a. The classical answer to getting rid of the Adobe watermark from your tryout project.prel files after you purchase the product is to delete the rendered files of the trial project.prel which is opened in the purchased program.
b. However, I and others have found the often just opening the trial project.prel into the purchased program removes the Adobe watermark automatically with no need to delete any rendered files.
See what works for you. Please let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

Are you importing the 1080 60i into the project using (Expert workspace) Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets?
If so, are you getting an error message inside of the video appearing in Project Assets?
Are you setting the project preset manually or letting the program do that task automatically?

BNN, even though I understand what KT is saying, your thought resonates with mine. When it comes to building and maintaining my website, I see myself more as a photographer than as a web designer. Hence, even though Apple may not be actively developing (and we are guessing on this one, arent we) iWeb, the existing functionality should do plenty of good to me for next couple years at least.
That said, they released a point update a few days back and with the whole cloud thing building momentum and mobile me going for free, why would Apple want to pull the plug on such a fantastic product?
