"Sorry - serious error requires PrE3 to shut down" - every time?

Hi - I've been using Adobe PrE3 for years to digitally enhance and transfer old home movie film (8mm-16mm) to DVD without any dramas. Always worked fine in a computer used specifically for that task.
A few weeks ago, while trying to open an existing file, up popped the message: "Sorry - a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premier Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
Not once, not twice, but every time I try to open any file in the programme. Have tried removing and reloading (authentic software) and still the problem persists.
I'm using Windows XP in this computer and have no idea how to fix the problem.
Even tried removing and installed PrE9 which I use in second computer but it wouldn't work at all.
Can anyone help please?

Pleasant dreams, ATR
Windows XP (professional) is installed in the computer with PrE3 I use almost exclusively for film transfers.
My main computer has Windows 7 and PrE9 installed in that for fancier editing I do with videos, slides - that kind of stuff.
When I was having the initial troubles with PrE3 computer I thought I'd load 9 to see how that performed. Well, it didn't. Wouldn't work. So uninstalled it immediately and have been persevering with 3 ever since.
I also installed PrE3 in the Windows 7 computer but it would not open up the "capture" window - just sat quietly in the corner, brooding. Mind you, PrE9 works fine in this same Windows 7 computer.
Problem first started 7 days ago.
Tomorrow will take the Windows XP computer to a local computer business that has been quite helpful in the past and see what he makes of it.
Thanks anyway.
regards
David

    Aperture 3 shuts down every time I try to use it after only using it for one minute. Aperture closes then a pop up screen asks if I want to reopen Aperture. If somrone at Aperture didn't keep pushing a stop button for it to close,Apple wouldn't need to ask the stupid question"Do you want to reopen Aperture?" to begin with. Anyone out there having the same annoying problem?? I like Aperture or used to anyway,but if this nonsense continues, I will be forced to buy some other editor besides "No hanging fruit - Adobe photoshop CS5" or "I don't like you so I'm shutting down - Aperture".

    Hello,
    sorry to hear about your troubles, but we will need to have more technical information about your problem to be able to help you:
    There may be several reasons that can cause Aperture to crash on start up:
    You may have imported an image (or video) in an encoding that Aperture does not support, or that is larger than 2 GB, or that is corrupted and Aperture cannot process it
    Your Aperture Library or Preferences may have been corrupted
    Or you are having a system wide problem with your machine.
    Or you may simple be running out of disk space.
    It would help, if you could post the crash log from your last crash. Also, more details on your Aperture Library: Is it managed or references? how large is it? Is it on your system drive or on an external drive?
    What have you done, shortly before the trouble started? Have you imported new images or videos? Did you install any plug-ins or any new software, lile Final Cut?
    Try, if you can get Aperture to launch, if you defer the generation of Previews: Hold down the SHIFT-key immediately after you start Aperture to prevent preview generation for that session. If a damaged image in your library is preventing normal opening, this may allow you to start Aperture. If this succeeds, try to identify the broken image or video among the images you recently imported and remove it from the library.

  • Safari crashes and shuts down every time I visit Grays Online. Anyone else with this problem?

    Safari crashes and shuts down every time I visit Grays Online. Site usually flicks off in under a minute. Anyone else with this problem?

    The website may need more memory than you have available if you are running iOS 5.1.1 on the original iPad. Try some basic troubleshooting steps. Maybe quitting all apps might be the best thing to try.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit ALL apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Itunes shuts down every time i try to sync with my iPhone

    itunes shuts down every time i try to sync with my iPhone

    Well reading some other discussions i have found to try deauthirizing and reauthorizing, that didn't work. I guess i could remove iTunes and reinstall, but i hate to do that. Maybe I should take all the music off and sync and then try putting  it back on? Worked before i put music on there, but then there wasn't much to sync at that time. Anyone know of other possible causes that would make iTunes stop working?

    Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone. 
    My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac.  As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is. 
    Any thoughts on this?

  • Error Message: Sorry...serious error PRE 7 must shut down

    PRE 7 was running well. In fact I edited four movies successfully.
    But now whenever I attempt to Open Project or New Project I get the message:
    "Sorry...serious error encountered...must shut down.
    It is really frustrating to pay for a product and then not have it work.
    Any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated.

    I am running Windows XP. (latest version).
    The properties window for my drives says:

    I use camcorder: Sony VX2000.
    I have deleted all previously made (4) movies, hoping for a clean start and hoping that would help. It did not.
    So now I don't even get a chance to load from the camecorder because when I click on New Project, I get the message: "Sorry..."
    Since PRE 7 has worked in the past, I can only assume that somewhere in there I did something wrong to cause this problem.
    Side note: I down loaded a tril version of PRE 8 to see if that would work. Same thing. I have since removed PRE 8.
    I will most sincerely appreciate any help because I am a total computer dummie.
    Note that I did update to the latest version of Quick  Time. Did not help.
    I am so frustrated over this. I recently videoed a Puppet Show and gal is really on my case for the finished product.

  • Premiere CC 2014 - "serious error and needs to shut down" - fix?

    After a few days of successful editing, I am now constantly encountering this error message: "a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down."
    I am using a 2013 MacBook Pro. I have seen this concern raised on other threads, but they seem to be addressed to Windows users.
    Please help!

    A little more info:
    This seems particularly likely to happen when I open a sequence on the timeline that has more than 5 audio tracks.
    I'm using OS Mavericks 10.9.5. Video footage is .R3D. I have the crash report if that helps.

  • I receive an error and iTunes shuts down every time I try to sync my iPhone

    Every time I try to sync my iPhone, I receive an error and iTunes shuts down. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes at least 3 different times and still no luck. Any suggestions please.

    Thanks for the answer. The sync process goes well until the last step,(5th) when iTunes try to syncing pictures. At that point I got an error message telling me that iTunes doesen’t work properly. “Windows tries to find a solution to the problem” ...and then the program shuts down. I remember that I tried to include videos in the Photo tab just before it all happend, so I think that is the issue here.
    The problem is that i dont know how to uncheck include videos option since the program stops working. Is it something i can do without having my iPhone connected? I Saw that some have installed older versions of iTunes to go around the problem and if that solves it all, at least for now... where can I download it?
    Thanx in advance. M

  • Premiere Pro shutting down every time I add clip into sequence.

    "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
    I've tried over 15 times, different clips, new projects. Every time I drag a clip into a sequence or even create a sequence from a clip Premiere is shutting down.
    How can I resolve this?
