Reinstalling PSE 10 after Windows crash and saving old projects

Hi!
My windows installation has crashed - no chance to get it alive again. I have an important not finished film project on 3 harddisks and diverse partitions (as it is recommended: Media, the raw captured video and so on). On C is only windows XP and the programm and its folder. The project itself and the prel file is on D with all the rest of the Data of the other programms. All Harddisks are ok.
When I reinstall Windows in the same way as  it was before, and on C also PSE again. And then click on the prel file. Will it work to continue then?
Will there be any loss? Will it work as before? What should I take care of?
Are all the informations of the project where the parts of the project is stored in the prel file? Are they / some  (also?) in the programm folder of PSE on C?
(As there are the 3 Harddrives and more partitions it could be that during the installation xp does not assign  the drive letters and partition letters absolutely the same way it was before though....)
Shall I after having reinstalled windows and PSE copy the old programm folder to C again? (After the installation the programm in the new proper XP is registered of course and would be looking the same exept of the installation dates.)
I could save and copy the old PSE folder in programms on C with a linux live CD and put it on D before reinstalling XP and erasing all that was on C before. (The rest will not be touched, as it is on the other partitions / drives).
Thanks for the answers and help!

Re: Barbara: What my main question is, is will Adobe provide me a replacement PSE7 product/download for my computer? I understand that a code wouldn't work that way.
And to answer another question, yeah. its the same computer, and I have sucessfully reinstalled one other product via disk and code.

    Windows crashed and I had to reinstall it. Then when I tried to dl creative suite it's telling me I can't and to contact support. I need this for my school!

    Hi latifledoux,
    Try the steps mentioned in the KB : Error "Invalid serial number" | Acrobat 9 | CS4
    You might also want to run the Acrofix patch from : Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite  and check.

  • Why did ps touch does not show saved project and my old project disappear?

    Why did ps touch (ipad 4) does not show saved project and my old project disappear?

    OldGhias,
    Have you found a solution yet? I don’t know if I will be of any help but I was curious and no one else has chimed in yet.
    I don’t quite understand all of your statement.
    To clarify, you were making SimpleSave backups from Win95 and cannot see them all on the Win7 laptop?
    Or
    You were copying files over (SimpleSave utility not used) and you cannot see those files on Win7 but you can on the Win95 machine?
    Do you have another Win7 machine you could connect the external to, to see if the files are still not showing (one that is not locked for work)?
    On the drive that shows full, can you see it in Disk Management showing the correct size of the drive and also another CD drive? Not your real CD/DVD drive, it’s actually a CD emulator that is attached to the HDD for encrypting the backups and all SimpleSave’s have them.
    Lastly, did you reformat the SimpleSave drive to Fat32 first?
    My understanding is that USB support was quite limited on Win95 machines. Since Win95 is Fat32 and the SimpleSave drive is by default NTFS, I would think it would not work.

  • IMovie crashed and lost all projects

    I just got the new MacBook Air for Christmas and am running Mavericks and iMovie 10.0.1.  I have been working on a 20 minute long video for school for the last few weeks until today when my iMovie suddenly crashed and now my projects are no where to be found.  I have tried deleting the com.apple.iMovieApp.plist file (but i don't even have that file, mine is something like 'com.apple.imovieapp.shared ... plist)in the preferences folder but that did not do anything.  I have also deleted and reinstalled iMovie but still nothing. When I open up iMovie my libraries are there and I can see the video names under the libraries, but there are empty.  I can also see some of my events when I click on "All Events".  I have done everything I can think of to try to get my movies back. Also, when I go to my iMovie projects folder from my user name in the HD, it is there as .rcproject but it is in a data format. Unfortunately, since it is a new computer, I do not have a time machine backup to recover from.  If anyone had any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated! I'm desperate!
    Thanks for your help!

    If you have  iMovie Projects and imovie Events folders in <user name> / Movies, these are from iMovie 9, so I infer that you have transferred them from an old machine and upgraded them to imovie 10.   
    If this is correct you should still have your projects and events.  iMovie 10 stores everything in packages with the extension .imovielibrary.  If this has become corrupt you should be able to upgrade them again (they will automatically go into a new library).  You  will find an empty file with a name something like "updated to iMovie 10" in the events and projects folders.  These need to be trashed in order to allow them to be upgraded afreash.

  • Reinstalling Audition after Windows 7 crash/corruption

    My Audition CS5.5 went down after a Windows 7 blue screen crash and won't run now.  I understand that I'm entitled to reinstall it from Adobe's web site but would like to know how to do that.  I hope reisntalling will fix the problem, which is the latest of many that I've had with Adobe CS5.5.  Should I uninstall current corrupted version?  Will I have any trouble with the web site allowing me to download it again?
    I'm posting this to the forum because I have had NO LUCK with Adobe's help site or customer service personnel on ANY of my problems with Adobe CS5.5.  Also, this is the first time I've ever been able to find my way into the forum posting area and I wanted to try it, since I'm not sure I'll be able to find my way back here.  The site is so confusing that Adobe's own representative had trouble with it.  I'm holding on to the hope that there is a user out there who can help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and then download your software using this method:
    Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
    Also clean out the prefs. In fact that should be the first thing to try - if they got corrupted, they can easily cause crashes. Check your C:\Users\You\AppData\roaming\Adobe folder. And also check your system audio configuration and driver. Obviously flakey config there might be relevant for an audio processing program...

  • PSE 9 still crashing when saving after removing preferences

    When I try to save my work in PSE 9 it crashes every time.  I've removed preferences by pressing shift, control, option after launching the program.  The window came up if I wanted to remove preference I clicked yes.  Restarted my computer and relaunched PSE9 still crashes.
    I've also removed the twain plug in this way:
    Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
    I dragged it twice to my desktop but the file still seemed to remain in place (even though I had 2 new copies on my desk top), so the third time I did it, I clicked it and moved it to trash.  Again, I restarted my computer and relaunched PSE9 and it still crashes when trying to save.
    Please help, I'm in the middle of a project that I need to finish and I can't do anything til I get this sorted out.
    Thanks in advance for the help, it's much appreciated.

    I found same question on another post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4862150 . The issue is addressed on that post . Please refer that.

  • I pulled the bookmarks html file off of my computer after it crashed, and am trying to get my old bookmarks into firefox. How does one do that?

    When my computer crashed, we managed to recover a bunch of the files and information from it. One of the files we pulled was the bookmarks.html from the firefox folder. The computer was running on Vista when it crashed, and I now have it running 7 Professional. The file is recorded as a Chrome html file on the new computer, and when I click on it, it pulls up a basic html page within Chrome or firefox that has links to the firefox website (kind of like a webpage version of the bookmarks folder from the toolbar, but without any of the bookmark adding capabilities). I'd like to get my old bookmarks loaded into firefox. Help?

    Firefox hasn't used the '''bookmarks.html''' file for storing bookmarks since the Firefox 2 versions, in 2008. Later versions use '''places.sqlite''' for bookmarks and history. What you have is the default file that Firefox uses on new installations and new Profiles, which has like 6 bookmarks.
    If you still have access to that old hard drive, see this for help: <br />

  • Windows crash and itunes reinstall. Please help

    My windows crashed, so i had to reinstall itunes from scratch, without being able to keep a backup because i had to format my C: . However now if i sync my iphone i will lose everything. Is there any solution for me not to reinstall every single app from scratch?!
    Thank you in advance.

    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You should always maintain a backup on an external source for this very reason.

    My computer crashed and has recently been reformatted and unfortunately itunes has been deleted.  I don't have my itunes backed up anywhere but i did manage to retrieve it when a similar thing happened a couple of years ago.  Unfortunately the link is now outdated so i wonder if someone can send me information or instructions on how to reload my itunes library from my ipod.

  • 754 Ultra MS-6561 Windows crash and now sometimes doesn't POST

    Bought a new MSI motherboard and installed everything that's in my signature.  Everything is used except for the memory and the mobo.  The computer was running fine for a few weeks. No problems. Only recent installation is an old game: Independence War 2, where it would freeze or crash to desktop.  Didn't think much of it, as I hadn't patched it yet.  Then yesterday during lunch I tried to turn on the computer and got the following error before it got into windows:
    "While Initializing device IOS:
    Windows protection error. Please restart your computer."
    So I restart and the computer wouldn't POST. After a few tries, it POSTs but I got the following error:
    "Invalid VxD dynamic link call to device 3, service B. Please run windows set-up to fix."
    So I have to restart again, and it wouldn't POST. It's the same thing over and over, it would start up and hang before POST, the display doesn't even turn on. Waiting a while and trying again will result in it POSTING. I check the tempurature of the processor and it's a cool 43-50 degrees celsius, never going higher than 65 degrees celsius on a normal day.
    It will let me into windows sometimes without errors, but it will crash and then won't POST for a while. One time I was able to get to the command prompt and while trying to see a directory, it froze and bunch of symbols were all over the screen. And then at restart it wouldnt POST. But if I let it sit, it will start up no problem. But it will crash after a while.
    I get home from work yesterday and decide to do the following: run scandisk, update the BIOS to 1.7, update my video drivers, and reinstall Windows 98SE.
    Mind you, the day before I could barely keep the computer on, let alone try to do anything on it. But when I turned it on last night, it seemed like it was back to normal. I was on it for like 2 hours doing everything to it. I ran the scan disk and it worked fine.
    The bios update went without a hitch. When I reinstalled windows, I didn't format the harddrive and only installed it over the existing 98. Why? Because I have no idea how to format a harddrive and I don't have the Win 98 cd (my bro in law, when installing it the first time on my old 450, put all the CAB files and whatnot in a directory and I installed it through there).  
    I do everything else and leave my computer running for a little while. No problems. It seemed like it was running as new. I was even getting better resource management by 1% (no big deal I guess). I start up and shut down a few times to make sure I'm not crazy and it really did seem like it was normal again.
    Then I shut down and go watch tv for a little while. I come back to it later, and BOOM. Same crap as before: Windows protection error, please restart. If not, it's the dynamic link VxD crap that tells me to run windows set-up.
    It doesn't even let me into Windows thru safe mode. Going step-by-step start up, it seems to crash and shut down at loading windows GUI. Then it won't let me post for a while, like before.
    I download memtest as I saw in one post here and as it's doing it's test I get the same thing I get when I'm in DOS:  Freezing and funny symbols on the screen.
    D-Bracket, when it hangs either is at:  Full Red (processor info), or will jump from the memory test to the early chipset initialization, then back to the memory test lights.
    I'm at my wits end.  Please help?

    Thanks, Wonkanoby.  I had seen that already (one of the first things I did when I saw those errors was to go online from the work computer and look for what those errors meant in windows support).  When I was able to get into my computer, I used msconfig and saw that my system.ini was fine.
    I haven't tested different ram yet, though.  Which one do you all suggest?  What I have is kingston, but it seems that some of the MSI boards don't like them.
    And although it wasn't suggested, I changed the power supply as I saw that many of the problems on here were associated with it.  I got an Antec True 430.  Sure enough, it wasn't the problem :(  Still debating if I should keep it over my 330 watt (also Antec) or return it and get dinged with the 15% restocking fee.  I may be upgrading to a 2600 soon I may keep it.
    I'll try the new memory this weekend.  Meanwhile, any other suggestions would be appreciated.

  • After windows crashes with firefox open profile always needs to be recreated

    Anytime windows crashes or my computer unexpectedly restarts and Firefox is open, the "restore session" screen comes up, then no matter what (if anything) is clicked, Firefox promptly locks up.
    I have to create a new profile and copy over the profile folder contents every single time. It is very annoying and frustrating.
    I have tried deleting the entire profile folder after the crash, no change.
    I have uninstalled and reinstall Firefox (with and without thunderbird), no change.
    I have even go through the registry and manually deleted any mozilla and firefox key.
    It has been going on in releases 4.x, 6, and now 7.0.1

    Why not back up your profile (back to the Firefox parent directory), so that you can put it back easily? That way, you save the profiles.ini file as well as the profile.

  • After Effects crashed and wont open

    Ok so a few days ago I was working on After Effects CS5 and it crashed while rendering. I've to open it many times but always gives me the same message. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it but the problem remains. And also downloading all adobe updates and it still doesn't work. If anyone could please help, if anyone actually knows the problem.
    This is the window that keeps appearing. Stressing me out!

    To clear all preferences, delete the entire 10.0 folder. After Effects will recreate a fresh copy when it starts.
    (Mac OS) <drive>/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/10.0
    (Windows) <drive>\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\10.0
