Premiere Elements won't start

Hey all:
I have Premiere Elements 3.0, which is true, I don't use it too often. But today I wanted to use it, and after the splash screen, I get the following error message:
MS Virtual C++ Runtime Library
R6025
-Pure Virtual Function Call
I suppose the answer is to re-install, but was hoping there was a better answer!
TIA,
Denton

This is most likely a problem with the MS Windows RunTime.dll. There have been several updates to that, and they are version specific, so make sure to only download and install the one for your version of Windows. IIRC, these are available on the MS site. I'll also look for some links to other RunTime problems with Adobe software, but as the fora have been redone, might not be able to find those.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] Here's one, but not the one with links to MS articles, that I am looking for.
Here's another.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements Won't Start A New Project?

    When I open up Premiere Elements and try to start a new project, all it shows is a black and purple line, then it just stops. I have already tried updating QuickTime, Windows 7, Nvidia Drivers, and Uninstalling and then Reinstalling Premiere elements. I am running it on a PC that has an AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six Core Proccessor, 8 GB of RAM, a Nvidia G-Force GTX 650, and i installed the program on a secondary hard drive with 761 GB of free space.

    What is this "secondary hard drive" on which you originally installed Premiere Elements 12? Internal or external and how formatted NTSC or FAT32?
    I do not see where anyone has asked about "Scratch Disks" as they relate to your issues?
    Please refer to Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks...
    a. Where are the scratch disks directed and how much free hard drive space is at that location?
    b. Do you have all the scratch disks categories directed to the same place? If not, do so and make sure there is lots of free hard drive space where you are pointing them to.
    Please look for pile ups of preview files in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder and pile ups of conformed audio in the Media Cache Folder. Both these folders by default are in Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/12.0.
    Please go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and hit the Clean button in the Media Cache Database in that area.
    As for the matter of where Premiere Elements program should be installed. Interesting question and some interesting answers. Back in a 2010 thread here on this type of subject, Akshat B (Adobe Staff) wrote
    Yes you can install Premiere Elements on any other drive. For that you need to follow these steps:
    1. Uninstall current copy of Premiere Elements.
    2. Start the installer of Premiere ELements.
    3. Choose a location on d:\ drive after choosing the default TV format.
    Please keep in mind, even if you select d: drive as the install location some amount of data will get copied to C: drive.

    Is your Local Disc C, a SSD drive? Why is there so little free space on your Local Disc C?

  • Premiere Elements Won't Start for a Particular User

    If I try to start a new project or use an existing project then I get the message "Sorry, a serious error has occurred etc" and Elements closes.
    This happens only with my main working user account (Windows XP) but not any other user accounts.
    I have tried all the usual tips such as deleting the temp folder and deleting the preferences file in Docs and Settings.
    I have checked the preferences folder security settings and they are the same for all users.
    Any thoughts on what else I can do? I will try to write the next bit in as small a text size as I can .... I am using Elements 1.0
    thanks in advance

I suggest right-clicking the setup file and selecting 'Run as Administrator' - that's the Vista / W7 option - if I recall in XP you select 'Run as ...' and then select administrator.

    When ever I start up Premiere it opens up with a message that says:

    xpcm
    Thanks for the reply. We may have our answer in your Premiere Elements 10 running on a computer that uses a NVIDIA GeForce card. There is a known issue relating
    to Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce with the solution being roll back of the driver version to about May 2013. But, I have not seen it reported before in association
    with the particular error message
    [..\..\Src\EMS\WSEMUtil.cpp-715]
    But because of the history on this matter in
    the Announcement at the top of this forum
    and

    Juul18 have you removed and reinstalled the software?  If so did you receive any installation errors?  Please see Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-install-using-logs-elements.html for information on how to locate and interpret your installation log files.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you locate to this discussion.

  • I have a used iMac, HD wiped, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." previous owner's name still there preventing initialing?

    I have a used iMac, HD wiped clean, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements was installed but won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." is previous owner's name somehow still there preventing initialing?  How do I remove and install my own?  I don't understand as HD was completely wiped with no OS when I got it.

    I think Adobe allows their software to be installed on 2 computers only. However, if say you buy another computer and wish to install PSE on the new computer ( effectively a 3rd computer as far as Adobe is concerned ) PSE needs to be properly uninstalled ie not simply by uninstalling using the operating system's uninstall process. It needs to be uninstalled using the Adobe uninstall process that is contained within the software.
    You should then be given a prompt as to whether you will be reinstalling on the same computer or if you wish to remove altogether. If the latter, then all traces are removed and the software can be (re) installed on the new computer.
    If, unknown to yourself, the software had been installed on 2 computers and although you or the previous may have wiped the hard drive clean, as far as Adobe is concerned the software is still ' registered / assigned ' to 2 computers.
    If the previous owner bought a new computer and installed their PSE on it, wiped the hard drive clean without properly uninstalling/removing PSE thentherein probably lies the prblem.
    As Allan Jones said, it 's probably worth your while to purchase your own copy.
    Hope this helps.

  • Photoshop elements won´t start

    Hallo Adobe Photoshop elements 12 won´t start. The editor does not start, the organizer has no problmes. I have reinstall the programm (sorry is english is not so good) because i had installed new hardware. (Mainboard, CPU, RAM). After restarting the systems the programm worked fine. After some days elements was only in trial-mode. First I irgnired it but then i deinstalled it an  reinstalled it on a new ssd. Installing and entering the CD-Key was no problem. Organizer launched without any problems but the photoeditor does not start. Log-Files are okay, no errors while install-progress. I did everything, reinstalling, using ccleaner and i tried to delete manuelly everything with "photshop elements" in the regestry (with new installation after that....).
    Running the setup und the exe as admin did´nt help.
    has anybody a solution for me or  a direkt link to contact adobe?

    try uninstalling, cleaning (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then installing.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements could not start.  Please uninstall and reinstall.

    Worked with support quite a bit over the past few months.  I am getting the subject named error after selecting the Country after my silent install.
    I was provided application.overide XMLS and using the setup.exe to install the application.  It installs successfully, but does not launch.
    This is on Windows XP.  Not sure what else to do.  We have been attempting to get this to install silently since September.
    Setup.exe /S /v/qn. - is what i am running.  If you reply please don't tell me to use OEM.exe, we have confirmed with Adobe Support that this does not work in my situation.

    newbie9999
    The answers are in the details and they are lacking in the information needed to solve this issue.
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements?
    Are you running the program as Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    And, as John T. Smith has asked, is your video card driver up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card?
    All basic Q&A background essentials.
    Uninstall, reinstall is often suggested as part of the no start issue. You could have a bad install. Factors need to be ruled in and out. No guarantees. I would suggest the following scheme for this uninstall, reinstall...I am assuming that you have never gotten into the Premiere Elements workspace with the current (first?) install.
    1. Control Panel, usual uninstall
    2. Run the ccleaner (regular and registry)
    3. Reinstall (with antivirus and firewalls disabled in Action Center).
    What do your computer resources look like? I saw no description of them?
    Let us start with the above and then plan the troubleshooting strategy based on your answers.
    Thank you.

  • Why does Premiere Elements 8 not start correctly?

    I have a problem with Premiere Elements 8, using PC, Windows 8.1. Starting the program I can start a new project and save it. After this the menue appears but the working area is grey. There is no option to use any point of the menue beside starting a new project but this doesn´t help. New start of the pc did not chance anything. I uninstalled the program and installed it again. The problem is still there. In the past I used the program without any problem. Mc Afee is new installed, this is the only chance beside updates of Windows, they are automatically installed. Can anybody help me?

    maria
    If you have not already, please consider...just in case message, you need not reply
    Before you make any decisions on the fate of Premiere Elements 8, please evaluate it as the 8.0.1 Update which can be obtained from Adobe using the following link
    Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.1 update
    For reasons unknown to users, Adobe does not place a "8.0.1" in the description of the program once the 8.0.1 update is installed.
    I guess we get our OK immediately after installation with a update installed successfully message. And that is that.
    Two possible signs
    1. If the automatic Background Rendering in preferences was enabled before 8.0.1, it is disabled after 8.0.1.
    2. There is one file in the program files on the hard drive that, as I recall, may be new or renamed.
    For me, that update (plus shutting off the AutoAnalzyer feature in Elements Organizer) made the difference between usable versus
    unusable version 8 program.
    Best wishes

    Message was edited by: Bill Hunt

    One common cause of PrE hanging on launch is the video driver. While not the only possible cause, I would check this out first.
    What OS and version are you running?
    What video card do you have, both make and model?
    What is the date and version of your installed video driver?
    If you go to the mfgr's. Web site, say nVidia, or AMD/ATI, is that the latest version of the driver?
    If not, download and install the latest, reboot and test.
    Good luck,

    By any chance are you working from a dual monitor setup?
    Are you on a network? Are you using non default locations for program installation and/or program associated folders and files.
    Have you looked at deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file? In Windows 7 or 8 or 8.1 64 bit, the path is:
    Local Disc C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    and in the 11.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. Check Folder Option mentioned below so that you can see whole path.
    If you do have the latest version of the video card driver installed, consider deleting the BadDrivers.txt file. I am assuming that you have Windows 7 or 8 or 8.1 64 bit Windows and not XP. So, the path to the BadDrivers.txt file should be
    Local Disc C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    and in the 11.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. Be sure to be working with Folder Options Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path.
    Looking forward to your results.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Elements crashing upon start up

    I have transferred my application of Premiere Elements 11 to my new iMac OS 10.9.2 but it will not open up.  It starts the process but then it crashes every time.  What can I try?

    islantweet
    Lots of just in case questions...
    a. When your older iMac fried, did it trap your Premiere Elements 11 in it so that you could not deactivate it and uninstall it? Adobe allows for the same purchased serial number to be on no more of two of your computers. If this is the case, Adobe should be able to help you clear your account so that you do not have an activated program trapped on an unusable computer. If this applies to you, contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat on the topic of "Serial Numbers Issues or Activating My Product". Click on the following link and, when it opens, click on "Still Need Help? Contact Us." to bring up the Adobe Chat to work on the topic.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=premiere-elements&topic=serial-number-issues-o r-activating-my-product
    b. Why are do describing these transfer paths for the Premiere Elements 11 Mac installation on the new computer? Did you purchase Premiere Elements 11 in boxed packaging so that you have a Mac installation disc or did you purchase Mac installation files from a download from Amazon? If you have a purchased serial number for Premiere Elements 11 Mac, you can install from tryout files from the following web site and then insert your purchased serial number in them.
    The key to success for this route is to read very carefully the "Note: Very Important Instructions" on that web page so that you do not receive an Access Denied message.

  • Premiere Elements won't recognize files

    Hello, I am using Premiere Elements 8 and I am so frustrated with it.  All of a sudden when I go to add media, it does not recognize files.  I tried to open 2 mp4 files and it said it was the wrong file type or I didn't have the necessary codec.  Last week it had no problem adding MP4 files.  So, I converted the MP4 files into AVI files and guess what?  It didn't recognize them either.  I could scream.  So I tried to add an mp3 file, no luck.  Converted it to a WAV file, same thing.  So, anybody have an idea of what is going on? 
    Would someone like to convince me that this software isn't a piece of trash?
    Two weeks ago I was adding titles to a movie I was putting together and it crashed every time I added a title.  But at least the title was added before it crashed.  I had 12 titles and it crashed 11 times, so I had eleven titles added. I finally gave up adding the last title when it crashed before I could add the title.  I tried to add the title about 10 times before I gave up.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    If you are not able to open files that did open before, something has changed... or maybe become corrupted
