Saved files will not load Premiere Elements 8

I have a Sony Vaio laptop I purchased in 2011, running Windows 7. Preinstalled on the computer was Premiere Elements 8 so I have been editing a video I recorded using this software, December 31, 2014 was the last time I edited the video until yesterday. Yesterday I booted up my computer, started Adobe Premiere Elements 8, Opened my project, watched as the loading meter went to 100%, the loading meter went off and nothing...I was looking at the Premiere Elements 8 screen with nothing, just a grey background with all my headings at the top like I had not opened a project, I have tried this many times with the same results

Thanks for the update. Sorry the solution was not found yet.
I do not see an avenue from Adobe for a fresh download since this was a pre-install from a computer manufacturer. You might be able to get the serial number for this pre-install. If this version got registered at Adobe somehow, there might be a listing for it under "My Products" after you sign into Adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com) with your Adobe ID and Password. Type in My Products in the Search field and follow it to your products. If you see Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0 listed, click on that to reveal the serial number.
But still no replacement installation files.
Let us recap
1. Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and 8.0 Folder deleted
2. You have been through my check list in post numbered 3.
3. You have done general computer maintenance.
4. Can you get into Elements Organizer 9? If so, please go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalzyer Options and disable everything under AutoAnalzyer Options.
Did that impact the issue in anyway?
5. We cannot uninstall reinstall or create a new User Account with Administrative Privileges since we do not have access to installation files and probably serial number.
Are we at a stage when System Restore to about December 31, 2014 becomes an option? Or rolling back the Windows Updates to December 32, 2014?
You have ruled out that the problem exists with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled. Is that correct?

    Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit).
    First..
    1. Have you updated from 13 to the 13.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, please do so.
    2. Do the problems exist if you disable the antivirus and firewall(s)?
    3. Are you running the program as Administrator? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer?
    4. Have you refreshed the Online Services using Premiere Elements Editor Edit Menu/Preferences/Web Sharing?
    5. Have you updated the Adobe Application Manager?
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
    6.Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    7. Lots more we could go through such as deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole
    13.0 Folder in which it exists.
    But, I think that you have enough things going on here to warrant an uninstall, free ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) and then reinstall with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

    If the problems persist after all that then we will adjust to additional troubleshooting maneuvers.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • .gif files will not load into site

    I posted a question earlier about pages not loading and the question was answered, but now my .gif files will not load. Below is the log:

    I have them loading into the images folder that is in the htdocs folder.
    I stated in my previous question that I am self taught via the adobe DW tutorial. I had a catastrophic computer crash and had to reload everything. I apparently did not tell DW which file to load into before and now that is fixed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I was never a big fan of using DW to FTP. There are several FTP programs that you might find work better than DW. For example Filezilla, free and works pretty darn well.
    http://filezilla-project.org/
    For me, being able to graphically see my local site on one half my screen and the site as it sits on the server on the other half of the screen really helps me quickly spot problems if I upload something and it doesn't display.
    Anyway... DW is not the only option for loading files to your server.

    I have purchased itunes tv series, movies and music and have transferred them onto an external hard drive and tried to play them on my tv on a media hub.  The file will not load.  Is there some form of blocking by itunes or another p[roblem and how do I fix it?

    You can't fix it.  iTunes bought content is DRM protected. so it can only be played on authorized devices.  i.e devices associated with the apple Id used to purchase the content.  Its copyright protection that the rights owners demand.
    Circumventing it, is illegal in most countries, and as such cannot be discussed here.  If you want to play the content you'll need to connect your computer directly to your TV, or use some other device you can authorize for iTunes content such as an iPad, iPhone , iPod touch or Apple Tv.

  • When I try to email a photo as an attachment the iphoto file will not load

    When I try to email a photo as an attachment the file will not load?

    Open iPhoto, and then go to Preferences (under iPhoto in the menu bar).  Check these two things:
    1.  Under the "General" tab, make sure you have set "Email photos using" to "iPhoto".
    2.  Under the "Accounts" tab, be sure your email account information is set correctly.

  • My Nikon 7100 RAW files will not load into Iphoto.

    My Nikon 7100 RAW files will not load into IPhoto.  The computer will recognize the files once the download is complete, but fails to finalize.  My version of IPhoto is 7.1.5 and my computer is a Mid 2007 Mac Mini Model.  I have Light Room 5, but my wife and I are prefer IPhoto for basic download and sharing.  Is there a possibility  of getting the RAW files to download ?

    what version of the OS?
    You need Mt Lion and iPhoto '09 for your camera RAW support - OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats -
    If your computer will support tMavericks do the free upgrade to it and purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x in the App store

    I have loaded directly into Lightroom using import and via Nikon Capture NX2. RAW files display fine in Capture.
    In Lightroom, blank previews are created for each available image, with the message "Preview unavailable for this file."

  • Some projects not loading, Premiere Elements 4

    In the beginning, my projects were working fine. I was in the middle of working on a particular project before I decided, "hey, let's upgrade the computer!"
    Now, some projects simply will not load. I click the project, and all I get is a blacked out window with the text "initializing user interface" in the bottom left. It never initializes.
    That's when I'm lucky. Sometimes, the whole thing just crashes with some "Premiere has encountered a serious error." It doesn't freeze, cause the program is able to create a backup save before it closes, so I'm thinking there's some kind of conflict. But for the life of me, I can't figure it out.
    The only thing that's changed from then to now is I now have 64 bit version of windows instead of 32 bit. Graphics card is the same, memory is the same, everything is the same. It's just simply a fresh install of windows.
    It can't be just a general incompatibility, because some of the projects load up just fine. It's completely random which ones too, although they tend to be small. (some small projects wouldn't load either)
    I did have to reinstall Premiere but that usually solves problems not create them.
    Some things I've tried:
    Deleting the cache
    Deleting preferences
    Reinstalling
    Disable hardware acceleration
    turn off my anti virus programs (AVG and Spybot 2.0)
    Compatibility mode for Windows XP service pack 2 AND 3
    Give it Administrative privileges
    It's the only application open
    asked politely
    This software has been my companion editing software for years. I need to figure out what's gotten it so wierd since the 64bit update.
    Computer specs:
    Radeon 6670
    8gb memory
    Windows 7 64bit
    Intel i5 3401 processor
    Asus Micro ATX Motherboard
    All my drivers are up to date. Quick time is up to date. Flash is up to date. The program screams open when the project actualy loads, and works like a charm. So what gives?

    Red Truck inc.
    I have Premiere Elements 4 in Window 7, 8, and 8.1 64 bit. No problems. In Properties/Compatibility Tab, I leave "run this program in compatibility mode for" unchecked. I do right click the Premiere Elements 4, select Run As Administrator even if I am working from a User Account with Administrative Privileges. So, look into the permissions angle a bit more.
    With the thought of possible leftovers from incomplete installs or reinstall, have you done any uninstall, ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts of cleaner), reinstall?
    Is that Radeon 6670 video card the only video card that the computer has? Are you on any network? Do you run a single or dual monitor system on your Windows 7 64 bit?
    Just some thoughts for now.
    More later.

  • Thumbnails will not load in elements 12 organizer, using windows 8.1

    The thumbnails will not load (hourglass icon appears on each photo) on Elements 12 using Windows 8.1.  I have updated the Elements to Core Version 12.1.  Any ideas how to fix this?

    I'm sure that when I close the browser in either OS before switching to the other, the following two conditions are true in the Advanced tab of the Firefox Preferences menu:
    1) "Use autoscrolling" is enabled (with a check mark)
    2) "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup" is disabled (no check mark)
    The autoscrolling feature allows you to scroll by holding down the middle mouse button and moving the mouse up and down. The extension you linked to, ScrollyFox, enables scrolling by clicking a button in the Firefox UI, which is quite a different feature. So unfortunately the problems still remain.

  • Some Canon CR2 RAW Files Will Not Open In Elements 8

    I use a Canon 7D DSLR.  Up until 30 minutes ago I never had a problem opening Canon CR2 RAW files in Photoshop Elements 8.
    Some files still open others do not.  I can think of only one thing.  I was shooting a large number of frames and reduced the RAW Image size down from RAW Large Only to RAW Medium with Small Jpeg to give me more room on the Compact Flash Card.
    The Large RAW only CR2 files open fine in PSE 8, the Jpegs open fine, but the smaller sized CR2 files will not open and I get a wrong file type message in PSE8.
    Any ideas why this would happen?  I suspect it is a function of the camera setting, but all RAW files download as CR2 files.
    I appreciate any guidance in this matter.  Needless to say I am resetting my camera back to Large RAW files only.
    Alex

    ACR 5.x only supported full-sized 7D RAWs, but ACR 6.x supports 7D mRAW and sRAW, so just update to the latest version of the plugin, following the PSE-specific instructions:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    sRAW and mRAW files are not RAWs because the camera has already demosaicked them to RGB and encoded them as lossless JPG.
    Here is technical information on the reduce-sized RAWs:

  • .prel files will not open in Elements 10

    When i try to open a .prel file i get "this type of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed" , i have opened/edited/saved these files many time before without issue. How do i fix this?

    LionkillerArt
    Did you say that you were working on Windows or Mac? For now, assuming Windows,
    1. Go to the Adobe Folder in Documents (should be there unless you changed the default).
    2. Locate the project.prel file of interest in Adobe Folder/Documents Folder/Premiere Elements Folder/11.0 Folder. Inside the 11.0 Folder, among some folders and other files, are the project.prel files if you did not do any special organization. Right click the project.prel of interest and select Open With, followed by Premiere Elements 10. Does the project now open?
    Do you have any versions of Premiere Elements on your computer except this Premiere Elements 10?
    Have you deleted or moved any of the source media that went into your project after you saved/closed any of these projects? Where are your source media stored? If on an external hard drive, is the drive letter of that drive changing on its own?
    What happens if you rename one of the problem project.prel files in the Adobe Folder and then try to open it from there?
    Just some thoughts for now.
    We will be watching for further developments.
    Thanks.

  • PSE 9 Preferences:Saving Files will not stick

    MacOSX 10.6, Photoshop Elements 9 - I have tried (lots of times) to set the Append File Extension: preference to Always and to check Use Lower Case. It will not stick. The next time I go into Preferences it is back to Never and the check box is unchecked. My other preference changes all seem to be saved correctly. Why does this one not save?

    Let me start this with....in OS 9.2.2 I am able to delete files that are not needed from the system folder. For some odd reason when I try this in 10.3.9 it murders my system...needless to say I have printer extensions, scanner estensions,modem stuff and other not needed things living in there.
    Recently I did nothing like that but also had to forcequit a program to only find that everything I opened ...might open once then it would tell me that there was an error---spit the number out---and the program would not open.
    I had to do an install/archive then update to 10.3.9 again in order to gain the use of my computer and programs.
    You may need to do the same thing...it is llike the cleam install of OS 9, where it replaces the system folder and stores your things into a "safe folder" to return when done. Some items may need to be manually moved and lke my printer/scanner, it needed to be reinstalled.
    Insert the install cd and boot to it. Use the disk utility to repair the hd (go under the file menu I think), then choose the install and archive option (click the option button to find it). See if that helps.

  • Newest ACR 5.5 Update will not load into Elements 7.0 - what gives?

    Hello All:
    This situation is now becoming ridiculous (well, for me that is).  I just tried to install the new ACR 5.5 update and it is "unable to install" into Elements 7.0.  I downloaded the update several times, unzipped the install file, but when trying to install, it just gives me a message that it is unable to install and to hit the "quit" button.
    I have a Vista 64 Bit system with 12 Gigs of RAM.  I've installed Elements 7.0 and the newest Lightroom 2.5 update on my system - all with no problems.  As an aside, for some reason, I could never get Photoshop CS-4 to install at all and I've been through the mill trying to install Photoshop - but nothing worked and had to eventually give up.  Trying to get Adobe support for CS-4 installation on my 64 Bit system has been ridiculous in this regard as each and every time I called, I was connected with some techrep located in India who all they did was "parrot" back what I told them - how frustrating.  But as I mentioned, Elements 7.0 and Lightroom installed just fine.
    The previous ACR 5.4 installed just fine into Elements 7.0, but now...ACR 5.5 will not install.  It tells me that I do NOT have CS-4 installed so it cannot install.  What's up with that? Has Adobe stopped supporting the latest ACR upgrades for Elements?  What gives?
    Does anybody just have just the newest ACR 5.5 plug-in by itself that they can send me so I can just put it in my plug-ins folder (or a place where I can download it)?  Adobe used to just have the plug-in that you could unzip and copy and paste and put it into your plug-in folders - but not anymore.  Now they make it an 82 Meg install program and thus some of my problems.
    Can anybody help here?  Why does the install program look for CS-4, yet overlook Elements 7.0 completely.  Helpppppppppp.
    Ben

    First off, did you download the right Camera Raw 5.5?  If you go to the Camera Raw 5.5 updates page, I think the downloadable there is for Photoshop.  There should be a line that has a link to a Photoshop Elements download page.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4582
    If you installed ACR before then you know the procedure.  Just in case you don't, try this:
    Here's what I do for ACR installs:
    I navigate to the PSE/Plugins/file formats folder.
    I rename the existing Camera Raw.8bi to Camera Raw.8bi.old
    I download the ACR 5.5
    Right-click on the zipped folder and select Extract All...
    I right-click on and select copy for the Camera Raw.8bi file
    I then right-click in an open area of the File Formats folder and select Paste.
    I open PSE6 and drag a couple of NEF's to it.  ACR opens and shows the NEFs ready for editing.
    That's it.  My understanding has always been that installing ACR updates is not your normal 'install' like with other programs.  It's a copy/paste of one file.
    Hope that works for you....
    Regards,
    dale

  • Quicktime video (.mov file) will not load and play in Firefox 3.6.16

    I have a computer with Firefox 3.6.16 installed that will not play Quicktime videos (.mov files) in the browser. This is a desktop computer.
    Another computer (laptop) with exactly the same version of Firefox installed will load and play them perfectly in the Quicktime player.
    Both computers have Quicktime addin 7.6.9.0 installed and designated as the default application for Quicktime movies.
    Both computers play the videos correctly in IE 8.
    When attempting to play the video in Firefox, the player window opens and attempts to load the video, but soon seems to freeze leaving a black window open where the player should be.
    From what I have observed, this seems to be a problem related specifically to this computer, and since the video plays in IE I have ruled out the firewall blocking loading from the site.

    Hi, I've exactly the same problem, 'cept I've XP Pro. When I say exactly, I mean the format used is HDV 1080i60, along with everything else there.
    And I'm right there with you. Why Quicktime can't play a natively encoded HDV Quicktime file (using Final Cut Pro), is beyond me, but basically, I've used K-Lite Codec Pack, and Quicktime. Neither work, although Quicktime does ask for internet connectivity to download resources or something similar (I don't have Internet Access at home). I've used VLC on a friend's PC, and, while it works, there is a very strange, and irritating flicker where there's heavy movement
    Where can I get the resource needed, as another party needs to view the clip, and they already have it. So if they can update their codec library or similar, then that would be much better (as I wouldn't need to upload a FullHD Video again)
    thanks
