Premiere Won't start up

Oh how I love non-descript start up errors...
Here's the quandry. When I attempt to open Premiere, I get:
'Premiere Pro has encountered an error. [..\..\Src\DirectoryRegistry.cpp-283]'
When I click on the 'continue' button, the program crashes...well, it just never actually starts, but you get the point.
I'm assuming that since the words "directory" and "registry" are involved that it probably requires a re-install, but problem is I'm on a gig away from the office and don't have access to the discs.
I'm on a Dell Precision, Windows XP Intel Core 2 1.9, 2.0 with 2GB Ram.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks all,
Ryan

Premiere Won't Start

Hey all,
So, I was working on a project on a faster computer, and then moved it to my laptop. I tried to open it on my laptop (same version, Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1), and whenever I try, it crashes and opens the crash report. When I try to create a new project, it gives me a message like, "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Premiere Pro to shut down." I need to work on this project and re-export it ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

My Premiere Elements 9 won´t start, it stars loading and then it stops.

After replacing two drivers (as Adobe told me to because wasn´t showing the preview of vids, just sound) my premiere elements won´t start. I replaced the files and didn´t start. Then I replaced those files with the originals that I saved just in case, but the same issue. Does anyone know how to start the program again?
Thank you.

Premiere will freeze at loading screen and won't start. Running win7 64bit

Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem here.
I just recently upgraded to CC because I had this issue with the CS 6 versions.
The problem:
Premiere Pro, inDesign, Illustrator and After Effects won't start. They will all get stuck at the loading screen. The weird thing is that Photoshop and Lightroom work without any problems.
I've tried restarting, completely wiping all Adobe Software with the cleaner tool and reinstalling. I've contacted support via chat and the couldn't find a fix. I then looked for weird processes in the task manager and found out that after a while (2-5 minutes) of letting Premiere show a blank loading screen (no "Loading ..." / "Initialising..." etc), suddenly "Loading ImporterPhotoshopProxy.prm" will appear and a process called "PhotoshopServer.exe" will show up in the task manager. If I kill this process then Premiere will start.
Has anyone had similar problems? Can't find anything on Google.
Thanks in advance.

If you had problems with CS6 upgrading to CC or CC2014 will not solve your problems. You must have basic hardware/software problems that only will get worse going to more complex versions. Do you have any third party codec pack installed? You must have rogue processes running. When you start up your system how many processes are running, look at your task manager?
What is your hardware configuration?

Premiere CS4 won't start "unexpectedly quit"

All I get is a message about the app unexpectedly quit?
Was working fine till today?
Only thing that changed is I downloaded and installed all the Adobe updates the other day.
What do I do?
Are there preferences to trash like with Photoshop?
Do I have to re-install Premiere or all of CS4???
Thanks.

Wonder if it was fonts. I removed about 10 recent fonts I installed and now Premiere seems to start. Can anyone verify this might be the cause? Is Premiere touchy on fonts?
The only thing that led me to that is the first time I restarted I had some error on the screen about "Font Table" or something not being able to terminate.

[Solved] Audition won't start with [...\Preferences.cpp-253] error on windows 7/vista x64.

Hi! You have really nice support for Audition - 3 pages of problems here and no solution. Just kidding
So i've decided to help those poor users, that encounter the following problem (it may (or may not) arise after installing Adobe CS* with Audition already installed on the system)):
Adobe Audition crashes at start with the following error:
[\premiere2.0\Backend\Src\Core\Preferences.cpp-253]
After applying the Windows XP compatibility mode error chages to:
Adobe Audition could not find a supported audio device. Please check your device settings.
Then it crashes like before.
Uninstalling Adobe Premiere won't help, by the way.
This problem is somehow related to the audition_settings.xml file in the Data folder and deleting this file solves the problem. You can aslo delete the whole folder - it will be created again on a next Adobe Audition start. Here is the path:
C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\3.0\audition_settings.xml
Some technical data on my system:
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 (don't be confused - it is in every way identical to Windows 7 x64, at least for Adobe products). I have a strong feeling that Vista x64 users may encounter that too.
Installed Adobe products:
1. Adobe Audition
2. Adobe Master Suite CS5 (without premier)
3. Adobe Acrobat X
I hope that my post will help you solve the error in the next release!

Adobe Media Encoder CC won't start if flash player plugin is installed

Few days ago I installed windows 8.1 pro on a brand new PC and I was having problem starting AME, clicking on icon simply doesn't sort any effect, the software didn't open. I tried starting it as administrator, deleting \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\, reinstalling any CC program and even using AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool didn't solve the problem.
At the same time, I was having problem with flash player and firefox; it was just crashing at start, for example at the beginning of a youtube video. Even reinstalling the plugin or firefox itself won't resolve the issue. I resolved by disabling protected mode on flash and after that, the plugin works perfectly in firefox.
Going back to the AME problem, after a few tries, I managed to resolve it by doing this:
- uninstall Premiere pro and relative AME
- uninstall Creative Cloud app
- uninstall flash player plugin
- run AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool and clearing ALL the stuff
- install CC app
- install PP and relative AME
- NOT INSTALLING flash player plugin for firefox
Only by doing this, AME starts without any problem. Even after a couple of reboots, it starts nicely.
After that, I tried to reinstall flash player plugin for firefox. Just after install, with firefox still closed, i disabled the protected mode to avoid any crashes. And by this point, AME won't start anymore. By just installing the flash player plugin (without even let it crash once) AME doesn't start. The only thing that worked was to uninstall everything again, use the cleaner tool, reinstall CC and leaving firefox without the flash plugin. At this point AME starts without any problem. I tried again to reinstall flash plugin and voilà, again AME simply can't start.
What should i do to fix this? It sounds so stupid that i have to choose between flash plugin or AME, why they can't live togheter on my system? Maybe i just have to wait for an update (for firefox or flash) and see if it changes anything?
Here are some specs of my system, if it helps:
winows 8.1 pro x64 updated
16gb ram
Intel i7 3820
GeForce GTX 670
latest version of flash, CC and firefox
no plugins installed for any CC software
flash on internet explorer works well

I finally find out how to fix this.
With flash plugin installed and protected mode disabled, I also disabled hardware acceleration in flash plugin options. So I re-enabled protected mode and the plugin worked fine.
After that, I uninstalled everything from adobe, used cleaner tool and than reinstalled all the stuff. Now AME works fine.
Hope this fix will help someone.

Adobe Illustrator CC won't start!

Adobe Illustrator CC won't start. It immediately crashes. Already uninstalled Wacom software, but that's not the problem, still doesn't start. I'm using the trial version of CC to see if everything works before i buy the software. I also have CS6 Design & Web premium installed, never had problems with this software. Someone knows how to fix?
Thanks in advance!

Premiere won't accept new source files in slightly different formats...

I'm using CS3 (and I installed CS4 and got the same problem). I've created a video using six different source videos that were originally encoded in XVID. I now know that was a bad idea but at the time I didn't know how to convert the video so I went ahead and used them. Now my project crashes to the desktop whenever I open it without any sort of error message.
This is a project that I started over a year ago and I set it aside because I didn't want to deal with the issue, but I really want to finish this project. Now I have a better handle on what sort of codecs work well with premiere and I use Super C to convert the videos to a friendly format and I haven't had any problems with my projects crashing since then.
So now I've revisted the project that is crashing and I have tried converting the original source videos to a more friendly format, but hte problem is, even when I get it to a format that is pretty much exactly the same settings as the original (size, fps, etc) premiere won't accept it. When I open the project and it asks me "Where is the file..." I'll point to the new file and premiere tells me "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match original file's type (audio and video)".. I try this after opening the project by right clicking on the asset and choosing "link media..." but of course I get the same error message.
What i've gotten done in the project is like 10 hours worth of work and it would be a shame to lose all of it just because Premiere is too picky about switching from one media type to another .. what are my options in getting this to work?

Welcome to the forum.
Yes, Xvid is a delivery-only format for delivery-only, but you know that too.
What I would do would be to Open that original Project, and then Offline the original Video. If you named the converted files the same, except for the extension, you should be able to then Import the replacement files and manually replace those. Make sure that when you choose to Offline the Assets, that you do a Save_As, so that the original Project is NOT overwritten - keep it safe.
You might try to Relink from the Project Panel, before you do the Import. I do not know if that will be allowed, due to the extension difference, but that would be the easiest way, if it works. Try that first. With the material Offline, Rt-click on each AV file, and choose Link Media. If you used the same file names, you should be able to find the converted versions. Let us know if this works, or if you get rejected.
Good luck,
Hunt

Lightroom Won't Start!!!

I downloaded and installed lightroom 1.0 on my laptop. Works great. However, when installed on my desktop, it won't start at all. I've searched this forum and don't see anything so I'm looking for suggestion.
My system is a intel e6600 with 2gb ram. I'm running a raid 0 for my OS and wondering if this is the problem. I know cs2 had problems with holding activation setting in a raid 0 environment but I can't even get to a splash screen to enter my license number.
Thanks in advance for any help . . .

Look, I appreciate the help (sarcastic or not) but reading the compatibility issues, I don't read anything here that helps me to get Lightroom to start. When I double click on an icon or the application file, nothing happens.
Windows Vista Compatibility.
Windows Vista is a brand new operating system from Microsoft and has not been available in its final form long enough for Adobe to fully certify Lightroom for use on Vista. Adobe is working hard to finalize support or Vista as quickly as possible and will deliver appropriate software updates over the launch period.
Lightroom 1.0 will install and run on Windows Vista but Adobe cannot guarantee the quality of the software experience until final testing is completed.
Known issues for using Lightroom 1.0 on the Vista operating system are listed below:
1.
Lightroom CD and DVD burning tools will not currently function
2.
Importing files directly from a Camera or Card Reader may not function properly. Please copy files to a local hard drive via the operating system before importing the files into Lightroom.
Working with Lightroom 1.0 and Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw
Lightroom and Photoshop Camera Raw share the same image processing technology to ensure consistent and compatible results across applications that support raw processing. These applications include:
Photoshop CS2, Photoshop Elements 4.0, Photoshop Elements 5.0 and Premiere Elements 3.0.
Photoshop Camera Raw 3.7
Adobe applications must be updated with the Camera Raw 3.7 plug-in in order to ensure compatibility with Lightroom 1.0 develop module settings. Photoshop CS2 users can update the Camera Raw plug-in automatically using the Update tool listed under the Help menu. The Camera Raw 3.7 plug-in can also be downloaded and installed manually by visiting the Adobe web site: www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
Please follow the installation instructions carefully.
Sharing Lightroom Settings with Camera Raw 3.7
By default, Lightrooms develop module settings are stored in Lightrooms database. In order to ensure that Lightroom develop settings can be viewed by Camera Raw 3.7 the settings must be written to the XMP metadata block for that file. This metadata is stored in an XMP sidecar file (Imagename.xmp) in the current image directory of proprietary raw files or stored directly within DNG files. To update images with the latest develop settings, choose the library module and select the group of target images. Choose the Export XMP Metadata to File option in the Metadata:XMP file menu.
Note: This menu option is only available in the Lightroom Library.
Viewing Lightroom settings in Camera Raw 3.7
Before working in conjunction with Lightroom and Camera Raw please set the Camera Raw preference to: Save image settings in: Sidecar ".xmp" files. By default Camera Raw will display the image adjustments exactly as performed in Lightrooms develop module.
However, at this time Camera Raw 3.7 is unable to support further adjustments to the following settings or tools:
1.
Recovery
2.
Fill Light
3.
Vibrance
4.
HSL
5.
Grayscale
6.
Red Eye Reduction
7.
Clone/Heal
The controls currently available in Camera Raw 3.7 will continue to function normally and provide incremental edits beyond those performed in Lightroom.
The Lightroom adjustments that are not available in Camera Raw 3.7 can be cleared by choosing the Clear Imported Settings option in the Camera Raw settings menu.
Viewing Camera Raw settings in Lightroom
Raw files edited by previous versions of Camera Raw files will maintain their previous appearance when imported into Lightroom. Note: Those files must have been edited with the preference set to Save image settings in: Sidecar .xmp files in order for Lightroom to respect the previous edit. Files edited in Camera Raw after importation into Lightroom can be updated in Lightroom by choosing the Import XMP Metadata from File from the Metadata:XMP file menu.
Note: This menu option is only available in the Lightroom Library.
Additional Notes on Camera Raw and Lightroom:
1.
Camera Raw will only read the current settings for the primary image in the Lightroom Library.
2.
Virtual Copy adjustments and Snapshot adjustments will not be displayed or available in Camera Raw 3.7
3.
Camera Raw 3.7 continues to provide support for only raw file formats.
4.
Lightroom is able to perform non-destructive editing on JPEG, TIFF and PSD file formats.
Flash Card Downloading and Vista
If you are using Vista.
Right click on the " Lightroom Icon" find your way to the compatibility Tab and click on run as WinXP Service Pack 2.
This seems to allow you to import in any format i.e. Raw or DNG.
NAS units and Network drives
NAS units are a high priority with the Lightroom team further information will be provided at a later date.
At present Lightroom does not directly support network drives.
Unconfirmed at present - NVidia's NView Desktop Manager may cause problems with Lightroom.
Workaround - If you have this manager (and are having problems) please disable the NVidia's NView Desktop Manager on your computer.
The option to change NView should be found by going to control panel and opening the NVidia NView icon.
Lightroom does not recognize Photoshop CS2 - Windows
Perform this at your own risk.
Here's how to fix it:
1) Run regedit.exe from start menu->run
2) Look for this folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\photoshop.exe
In that folder, there should be a key "Path" and its value should be the folder where Photoshop CS2 (or any other Photoshop version) is installed."
If your registry does not have that folder, created it and add a "Path" key with the value being the path to Photoshop CS2:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\
You cannot create a library in a Windows Compressed Folder
And it certainly is a good thing. You don't want to suffer the decrease in speed if you install a database into a compressed folder.

Illustrator CS4 won't start, even after reïnstalling.

I reïnstalled the whole Suite but Illustrator still won't start. When I try to open Illustrator the orange windows pops up and you see that parts are being loaded but then it shuts down and is gone. I'm on Windows8.

it can't hurt to try downloaded installation files.
again, uninstall and clean before installing.
