PSE 8.0 Slideshow crashes when I attempt to add music

I'm running windows 7, PSE 8 works fine right up until you add music then it crashes everytime. Any ideas? Conflict with other programs?

I have a similar problem. I've just got PSE 8 to go with my new Win7 machine and all goes well except the slide show function. I already owned PSE 6 and now both versions crash (when loaded separately) when I launch slide show. My workaround is to open a previous slide show (created under XP) and edit that. However the slide show is still unstable and crashes regularly, especially when I add music (both my own files and those that came with PSE8). Even when I can add music I can't hear it in the slide show preview function. I know it's there because I can see it in the audio bar and hear it in the properties section. However, when I try to preview a slide show, there is no sound (at this point it regularly crashes). I've attempted to apply some suggestions from the Adobe knowledegbase but there is obviously an incompatibility somewhere (and my bet is with WIn7), I've tried to report it to Adobe but because I mentioned both PSE 8 and PSE 6 (which they no longer support) they don't seem interested.

  • PSE 11 crashes when I attempt to add a new catalog

    PSE 11 crashes when I attempt to add a new catalog to those that already exist. No programs are running that might conflict with Organizer, and I can run other functions such as downloading photos from my camera. As soon as I attempt to add a new sub-catalog to an existing major catalog, the program crashes. I'm using Windows 7, and have tried various compatibilities, but none solves the problem. Any ideas?

    How do you attempt to 'add a new catalog' or a new 'sub-catalog' ?
    There are no such things as 'sub-catalogs' or catalogs included in catalog.
    Catalogs are totally independent storing systems, they ignore what is managed in other catalogs.That's why it is recommended to have only one catalog, unless you have a good reason to create several ones because they are totally independent by nature (home vs professional for instance).
    You can create several levels of albums, of tags categories, but not with catalogs.

  • ITunes crashes when I attempt to sync music to iPhone

    This has been an ongoing problem for about a month or so. When I connect my iPhone to my computer it shows in iTunes that it's connected, however, when I hit "sync" iTunes crashes. iTunes updates all of my applications and even allowed me to update my 3GS to iOS4 but it just crashes when it attempts to sync all of my music in iTunes. I've reinstalled iTunes using the step by step article like Apple tech support told me but after that they said it has to be a hardware problem.
    Any suggestions? This is driving me nuts.
    BTW I am running Vista Home Premium.

    Okay ... I've got no +a priori+ reason to suspect the nVidia's at this stage. (There has been a bit of an uptick in unorthodox Radeon issues over the past couple of weeks, but nothing related to nVidia's that I'm aware of.)
    More experimentation, if you're still game J.
    There have been a few more preference file issues cropping up in recent months than I like. Although I'd usually associate them with something like an iTunes.dll faulting module than a QuickTime component, I've seen them mimic QuickTime component troubles down through the years.
    If it's a pref file issue, it should produce a user-account-specific crash. (There's different sets of iTunes pref files in each different Windows user account.) So it's probably worth checking to see if this is user account specific or not.
    Create a new user account with full administrative rights on the PC. Log out of your usual account and log into the new account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
    Launch iTunes in the new account. The iTunes Setup Assistant will run. When prompted, don't let iTunes add files to the new account. Just let it launch to an empty library.
    In iTunes, go "Edit > Preferences". In the "Devices" tab, check the "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically" checkbox. Click OK.
    Plug in the iPhone. *(Do not associate the iPhone with the empty library.)*
    Do we get another "iTunes has stopped working"? Or does iTunes stay open this time around?

  • Imovie 9.0.9 crashes when I attempt to send it to i-dvd message is exc_crash(sigabrt) ?

    I Movie crashes when I attempt to send it to i DVD. Shuts down and send message exc_crash(sigbrt). This is new and I have already made more then 20 i-movies and burned DVDs. Is this a corrupt file in the pictures, videos, music or themes or a problem  with the i-movie program?  There is plenty of space on the drives. Geek squad could not figure it out?
    Thank you
    Richard

    I would first delete the app and reinstall it. Then try your move again. If still having issues, I would try to isolate the cause by making a quick video and then try to send it to your DVD. If that doesn't crash, then I would suspect the other movie or something embedded in it. If you've used some of the stock music, themes or other stock files in the video that crashes, you can try adding the music, themes or other files to your new short video that didn't crash one at a time to try and isolate a particular file that may be causing the issue. I know this is a lot of work but from your post it looks like you use this app often so I think it's worth it to try this unless someone else has a better idea.

  • TS1717 iTunes crashes when I attempt to play a movie

    After installing the new iTunes update, the program crashes when I attempt to play a movie or TV episode. Any ideas anyone?
    Many thanks.

    Sounds like Quicktime is causing the problem.
    Try to start Quicktime and see if it works.
    If it works then try to run Apple Software Update, to see if Quicktime needs an update.
    Else try to install ITunes and Quicktime again (As it is already installed, it will give you the option to do a repair)

  • ITunes crashes when I attempt to open my iPhone within iTunes

    any solution?

    Hi All,
    If AI CC 2014 is crashing on launch, then please send me the crash logs at [email protected] including the link of the Forum Thread where your post is listed.
    For WIN please create a DMP file using the Task Manager (Right Click on the Adobe Illustrator CC and select the option Create Dump File) when AI displays the crash dialog.

    Crashes when I attempt to clear browser history;temp fix:I use IObit Security to clean browsing history,cannot clean it all,cleans most,I am then able to clear the rest of my history thru Firefox;I thought this info would help solve the problem

    Crap thought that text was all the characters I was allotted, not just the title.
    Anyway I wouldn't have even posted this if you guys would have allowed me to reply to the already existing thread I found through google. Said about 20 or so people had the same problem and no one found the contributor's answer useful, including myself.
    Anyway, I use Firefox, because it is one of two (other being internet explorer) that Trend Micro's security package includes protection with. Same with spyware blaster which I also use but Trend Micro is the deal breaker. Also I like Firefox 4 and your ad blocker is better than google chrome's. However if I continue to have problems with clearing my browser history it is back to Opera and Google Chrome for me. IObit Security supports both of them, it also seems to be the best security system I have ever come across, I will just pay for their subscription and stop using Trend Micro.
    This is a very big problem I hope it is being addressed. Only addon I have is your ad blocker. Also this is completely on your end, not ours. I am the perfect test, my computer is brand new, and by brand new I mean I just started using it the other day, the same day my firefox browser kept crashing as I attempted to clear my browsing history.
    Windows 7, 8GBs RAM, AMD athlon II quad core 2.90 GHz
    Can't even clear an hours worth of browsing history without firefox crashing.

  • Acrobat X Crashes when I attempt to place digital signature

    Program starts up fine. I can effect most edits needed. I am an Engineer and produce a lot of PDF documents for new construction. When I attempt to add digital signature ... I get the blue screen of death. Not sure what to do? Program was working fine a week ago. Any suggestions most appreciated.

    Another improperly upgraded OS by the sound of it. The MPEG-2 module from the older version of QT is probably still there and still appearing in the application. Why it works on one and not on the other I don't know. It shouldn't appear in either.
    Compressor should come with DVDSP, unless you have a really old version. You can only get Compressor by upgrading to Final Cut Studio. You could get Bit Vice instead. Does your version of DVDSP not do MPEG-2 encoding? For quite some time DVDSP has had that capability built into it.
    iDVD menus can be customized to some extent. All the images can be replaced. Some of the elaborate ones have built-in motion menus, but if you're really ambitious and know what you're doing you can hack the application package to the resources folder and change even those.
