Trouble opening project files with Windows 7 computer - Elements 8

I recently purchased a new Dell computer running Windows 7 platform and installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8 software.  This is the same software version that I ran on an older computer running Windows XP.  I have transferred all files to the new computer, but when I try to open slide show project files created on old computer, I get the followning error message:  "The file(s) listed will not be imported as it is not a supported file type."  This is the same software version, but running on a Windows 7 instead of XP platform.  What can I do to open these files?  I would not rather start over on these files on new computer.
Thanks,  Art

  • Cannot open project file with write access...

    I have seen that this problem has been reported before but have yet to find a solution.
    I have my project file in an external hard drive.  When I plug the hard drive to another computer and want to save it I get this message:
    "Cannot open project file with write access.  The file may be locked or you don't have permission to write to this location.  Select Save As..."
    I don't want to Save As because other projects make reference to this file and also my Encore file will be messed up.
    FYI both computers use Windows 7.
    Any solutions?

    Right click on the folder in Question and select properties. Then select the security tab. Make sure you add everyone to the user list. You do that by selecting edit and then add. Type in everyone in the object section and hit ok. Then select the everyone user and checkmark the Full control. Hit Apply and it will adjust the permissions for the folder and subfolders and files.

  • Trouble opening acrobate files with reader 10.1.7.

    I have trouble opening acrobate files with reader 10.1.7. When I click  on the file to open it with adobe reader x, nothing happens. If I click  on Adobe Reader X icon, a message comes up: preparing to install. After  that, I can open a PDF, but only until the next reboot.

    Something went amiss during the install. Windows keeps trying to finish the incomplete install every time Reader opens.
    Use the Adobe Cleaner to completely remove Reader.
    Download the offline installer and reinstall without a download manager

  • FCP 7.0.3 won't open project files with OSX Lion.

    If you like, you could send me a project file that won't open.  I'll check it on my system and we can eliminate the possibility that the project files have been corrupted.  Me email is in my profile.  Be sure and compress project file before attaching to email (control click on file and choose "compress."  this will create a zipped version of the file that's suitable for attachment.).

  • Download/Open .pdf files with Windows 8.1 - Help needed urgently!

    Hi, all. I hope this is not a stupid question, but can someone please help with downloading/opening .pdf files?
    I am running Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, latest version (no updates available) on a Windows 8.1 platform. When I attempt to download a .pdf file (ANY .pdf file!), my system gives me this error message -
    "Adobe Acrobat does not support Internet Explorer's 64-bit mode. Either install the latest version of Adobe Reader, or disable 64-bit mode in Internet Explorer"
    I find this baffling. If I could find a later version of Reader than what I have, I would like to try it - but, Adobe updates tells me I have the latest version of Reader. Also, as above, I have the latest version of Acrobat - if Reader could support 64-bit, surely Acrobat XI Pro could?
    Can some kind person please help?

    Hi Peter,
    (I updated your title, so now help is indeed, "needed," and not "nedded." Been there myself plenty of times.)
    In any case, is it possible that you're running Reader X, and have the latest updates of that? If so, please consider downloading Reader XI, and make sure you're running version 11.0.07. And, this document offers instructions for setting up your browser to display PDFs when you're using Acrobat XI or Reader XI: Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • IMac G5 sharing files with windows computer

    Hi,
    I have an iMac g5 which is wireless, I want to be able to access my other windows based computers to share files.
    I have a Netgear wireless router and my iMac g5 is connected to the network (i.e. the internet works). From a windows computer I can access my iMac g5 through using "run" and typing in my ip and username, for my imac g5.
    Apple help tells me that if I open a finder window and click on the network tab my workgroup will be there and all my computers will be there and i can connect to them. However the network appears but none of my computers do?
    p.s. I have windows file sharing and apple talk activated.
    How can i fix this?

  • Premiere Elements 4 - Cannot open project file with write access

    I have most of my video files on a network share drive.
    However, I am unable to create the "native" files on the share (and also cannot save to them.
    I must generate the new files (.prel) on a local drive (and therefore save new renditions to this location).
    Is this a problem with Premiere Elements 4.0?
    Should it just be run locally or can it be used on a network share?
    Thanks

    I do not believe you can use Premiere Elements on a network, Wayne. Especially if network is something other than an XP network.

  • Opening a file with FILE_SHARE_DELETE mode (Only on Windows)

    Hi,
    We have an application that imports logs from several 3rd party vendor's applications. Basically what we do is import the logs in real time, i.e we do have a live FileInputstream connection to the log file. Now, when the 3rd party applications that rotate these logs (many of them do when they grow big or scheduled periodically), all unix flavors dont see to have any problem, while the windows does complain that the device or resource is busy and the original application is not allowed to rotate it. When i dug into the native code of windows jvm, i found that the file is not opened in the FILE_SHARE_DELETE mode and only with FILE_SHARE_READ and FILE_SHARE_WRITE modes. When we wrote a separate C++ application the opens a file with FILE_SHARE_DELETE mode, we found that the logs are rotatable.
    Now, how can we instruct the JVM to open a file with FILE_SHARE_DELETE mode? Is there any such implementation already or do i have to come up with another class extending the FileInputStream and use a totally different open method where the file is opened with this mode in the native code?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    I think you can write :
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start.exe " + MyFileDialog.getDirectory() + MyFileDialog.getFile());
    So, "start.exe" choose the application (not valid for NT machine), ".getDirectory()" return the PATH and ".getFile()" return the NAME.

    You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
    I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
    You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
    Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

  • I can't open pps files with FF4. I have Powerpoint Viewer installedAny suggestions?

    I can open Powerpoint (pps) files with Google Chrome but not Firefox 4. How do I get FF4 to associate pps files with the Powerpoint Viewer that is installed on my computer?

    For the D600 NEF's you have two alternatives: (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)  Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3  Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3  You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click.

  • "Unable to Open Project File" - error

    Does anyone know how to resolve an "Unable to Open Project File" - error. I accidentally shut down my computer wrong, although Final Cut wasn't open.

    Welcome to the forums.
    The project file might have gotten corrupted. Look for the AUTOSAVE VAULT (typically in the DOCUMENTS>FINAL CUT PRO DOCUMENTS folder) and open the most recent version. Copy it to your main project folder if it works.
    If not, then try trashing your prefs with FCP Rescue.
