Visual Studio quits responding and restarts when trying ot open any project

After upgrading to VS 2013 Ultimate I can no longer open solutions. I begin to see the solution open, but I then get a message saying Visual Studio has stopped responding and it restarts. I can run fine if I run visual studio is SafeMode.
When I look up the log message in the Windows Event Viewer I see this from the .NET runtime:

Tried doing repair, uninstall/reinstall.

Hi,
According to your description, I recommend you can follow up these steps below to handle the issue：
First, try to disable the windows process which is running.
Second, you say you can run VS in the safeMode. It seems there is something wrong with VSCommands extension or other plugin. You can try to disable all extensions, restart visual studio and re-enable them; sometimes it resolves such issue.
Third, you can try to reset your Vs by devenv.exe:

Please update the result after you already try methods above.
Best Wishes!

it says: You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT admin or Adobe customer support for help.
Well it seems I am only able to install this on a maximum of 3 computers so if I uninstall and reinstall I may have used up all three. What caused this in the first place?

And most licenses extend to 2 machines; not 3. Your computer's clock probably reset when you changed batteries. Is your computer's clock set to the correct date and time now?

Premiere Pro crashing when trying to open a project

I get this message when trying to open any of my projects:
Here are my specs for my computer:
I do not have a graphics card at this time, I am running on the onboard graphics on my motherboard which is the Gigabyte Z87X-HD3 ...
I am fully updated with latest drivers, adobe cloud, and program updates.
N.B. I did not have this problem until installing Premiere Pro CC 2014, prior versions worked absolutely fine on the same machine which is puzzling to me.

GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1150 - GA-Z87X-HD3 (rev. 1.1) indicates an Intel graphics chip
Since Windows update is not always accurate, have you checked Gigabyte and/or Intel for a newer driver?

Crashing when trying to open a project / forgetting where media files are

I spent all day manually locating hundreds of missing 'offline media' in a project, saving as I went. Premier Elements crashed when this was complete, now I try to open the project after rebooting and it either cannot find them again or crashes when trying to open the project. Anyone got any clues as to how I can fix this?

alex peatfield
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
How long has this issue existed?
Are you moving, deleting, renaming files and folders that go into a project after the project has been saved closed?
If you have source media stored on an external hard drive, determine if the external hard drive is malfunctioning, including if its drive letter
changing.
Lots of drill questions...
a. Running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
b. Latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer?
c. What are your computer resources and is your computer optimized?
d. What are the properties of your source media that are involved in this issue?
e. Where are the Scratch Disks directed and how much free hard drive space is at those locations?
f. Do the problems exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Let us start here and then we can decide what next.
Thanks.

Visual Studio 2012 Express and 2013 Professional won't open

I have downloaded both Visual Studio 2012 Express and 2013 Profession and both stop working when I open them. I have been using the developers command prompt from 2013 to run some c++ code. I need the program for my c++ class so please
help as soon as possible.

Hi,
Is there any specific error message occur when you open VS?
Because of there is not enough information for troubleshoot, I will give you some advice:
First, reboot the machine into safe mode. This can isolate some third part application.
Second, you can use Devenv.exe Command Line to start the VS and collect logs for troubleshooting:
You could type ‘Devenv.exe /SafeMode’, which starts Visual Studio in safe mode, loading only the default environment and services.
You could create a log file (‘Devenv.exe /log’ ) on your drive. If this issue exists still, you could invest your log file to narrow down the issue.
More information about Devenv.exe Command Line, you could refer the following link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms241273(v=VS.80)
Third, you should make sure you can successfully install the VS. Please use collect.exe utility to collect VS install logs to see whether the VS installation is success:
http://aka.ms/vscollect
And make sure you already followed up these steps to install your VS:
1. Re-download the Visual studio from Microsoft official site here:
http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
After download you should use File Checksum Integrity Verifier tool to verify the integrity of your download. If the values don't match, your download may be corrupted and you should download the file again:
Refer to the below page to know checksum detailed number:
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs.aspx
Refer to Download the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier to know how to check the checksum hash value.
2. Disable your Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software and be sure that your OS has been "patched" up - Update your computer (Windows) before install the VS.
3. Clean your %temp% folder and run the installer with Administrator permission.
Look the links to get more information:

When trying to open any of the 4 apps in Adobe Creative Suite Design Standard I own outright, , I am unable to use the software and instead am being prompted to "Renew your Subscription to Creative Cloud". Please help me

I have purchased and used Adobe Products for 25+ years and I own CS6 Design Standard outright.
I had previously subscribed to Adobe Creative Cloud but did not renew the annual subscription.
The CS6 Design Standard serial number is listed in my Adobe user account. I have run the the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaning tool, uninstalled the Adobe Creative Cloud App and all other CC apps from my iMac. I reinstalled fresh copies of the CS6 software two different times, first from my CS6 DVD disk and then from the Adobe Download page. During each installation of CS6, all seemed to run normally and I was prompted to enter the license number and it was accepted. However, when trying to open the software after completing the installation, I am being prevented from doing so without renewing the Creative Cloud subscription.
Who knows of a solution to this problem?
Contacting Adobe’s Chat support and Customer Support portal has not resulted in a solution, even though they have confirmed the license number as being accurate and linked to my account. After weeks of waiting on their responses, yesterday I was told to go to the Forums to find a solution….Please Help Me….Thanks

I am not familiar with the process involved with the link I am providing so please accept my apology if it is a repeat of something you have already tried...
How do I prevent Creative Cloud from taking over my CS6 perpetual license?

Mountain Lion Crashes and Restarts When Trying to Sleep

Ever since I installed Mountain Lion, when I try to put my early 2011 MacBook Pro to sleep it crashes and then auto restarts. I can't find anything in the log files to indicate what is causing this crash. This seems different than the reported bugs of the sleep function under the Apple menu not working. It tries to sleep, then "bong" it reboots and tells me it restared because there was a problem.

Actually it hangs at almost every program launched.
It crashes during archiving process using winrar, when I tried to copy a file larger than 4GB, when launching windows internet update, avast antivirus internet update, when configuring local network, when trying to launch Prince of Persia: two thrones, when playing Dark messiah of might & magic (those were the only games I installed).
At the moment I'm quite determined to report everything to the thoshiba service and ask to use the guarantee or sumething like that.
When I reported the errors as Windows proposed, it showed that it is a graphic card problem, it said to install new drivers or decerase the speed of the display device (though it never had beed incerased by me). Either reinstalling the new derivers or decereasing power of the graphic card didn't help.
The new, never seen by me blue screen showed me this: IRQ_NOT_LOWER_THAN_EQUAL (or somthing simmilar).
As I wrote at the begining it crashes almost at every opportunity...

Why do I have to quit itunes and restart when I want to watch movies on my Apple TV?

Every day I come home and put on a movie or TV show from my iTunes library but every day when I go into the Apple TV to the computers, it says "loading Mac" but times out and goes back to themain screen. Only after I quit itunes on my computer and restart it will it find the itunes and show the contents of my itunes library.
It is getting frustrating. This began about 2 software updates ago. I even bought the new Apple TV

Lion may have replaced files that partially made up your printer drivers. Either way, HP saw fit to make a new set of drivers specifically for 10.7 so you may want to use it simply to avoid any bugs tehy found.

How To: Use Visual Studio, IIS Express, and Adobe Edge Inspect to view local projects

You CAN view a Visual Studio project with Adobe Inspect. The work around takes a little bit of time.
This involves using IIS Express to run your Visual Studio project, which is mainly a setting in Visual Studio, a Firewall change, a few command line and IIS Express config change. It isn't actually all that bad, but will make your life A LOT easier.
Here are the steps. (Note these are steps I used for Visual Studio 2012 and your project is part of a solution project. Windows 7 or Windows 8)
1. If IIS in not turned on, turn it on.How to: Enable Internet Information Services (IIS) - this should install IIS Express as well.
2. In Visual Studio, find the port that Visual Studio will be using for your project by Running your web project (Debug), and note/write down/save the port number that shows up in the browser when the project launches. (ex. http://localhost:12345)
3. Add a NetShare Reservation (process for this will be different for Windows XP)
Go to your Command Line (CMD) in Windows and in c:\Windows\system32> type in
netsh http add urlacl url=http://yourIPaddress:yourPortNumber user=everyone
(ex. netsh add urlacl url=http://12.34.56.78:12345 user=everyone)
Hit Enter key. You should be a successful add reservation message
3. Go to your Windows Explorer (File system) and go to c:/Users/YourName/MyDocuments (or Documents)/IISExpress/config/ and open 'applicationhost.config'
In the 'applicationhost.config' file find your site in the <sites> section.
Example:
<sites>
<site name="WebSite1" id="1" serverAutoStart="true">
                <application path="/">
                    <virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="C:\MyProjects\TestSite" />
                </application>
                <bindings>
                    <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation=":12345:localhost" />
                </bindings>
            </site>
</sites>
In this section ADD 2 new lines to the <bindings> section. Note add your own IP address and your own Computer Name
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:12345:12.34.56.78" />
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation=":12345:MyComputerName" />
Save the config file.
4. Open up your Windows Firewall and go to 'Advanced Settings'. Here you want to create an Inbound Rule.
Right click on Inbound Rule and select New Rule
- Rule Type select 'Custom'
- Program leave this
- Protocol and Ports > Protocol Type select 'TCP' then Local Port select 'Specific Port' and fill in the port number you got from VS. Leave Remote Port alone.
- Scope
There are a few ways of doing this. Typically you would go the the Remote IP address and select 'These IP addresses: and select ADD > select 'Predefined set of computers' and choose Local Subnet. IF this does not work leave Remote IP addresses > Any IP address option selected instead.
- Action leave this
- Profile select Domain and Private
- Name put IISExpressWeb for the name
Select 'Finish'
5. Go to Visual Studio. (Note if you have multiple projects in your solution, choose your start up project. Right click on your project in Solution Explorer in VS and select 'Set as Start Up Project' )
Right click on your start up project again and you should see an option to 'Use IISExpress'
In the DEBUG dropdown (from the main menu bar at the top) select 'YourProjectName Properties'. Mine was the last one in the list with a wrench icon next to it.
This should open an new tab in your project, You should see a left hand list of option and a right hand column of options.
In the left column select 'Web' and in this tab select Use Local IIS Web server and select 'Use IIS Express' and type in your IP Address and port number (same as before) in the Project Url text box.
Save.
NOW, you should be able to run your project in Visual Studio and use Adobe Edge Inspect on your device and view new results in Chrome. You can develop from there.
If you still can not see it working, please be sure your device is on the same SubNet or Wireless network as your computer. If you are in a large network but the domains can still see each other, the Firewall Setting detailed above to allow Any IP Address in your Scope section.

Slow perfomarnce and freezes when trying to open Microsoft Publisher after refresh/reboot

Hi,
I just bought my HP laptop 2 months ago. Everything was okay, fast and really convenient until few days ago, upon turning on, it prompted a message saying I needed to refresh it. So I did, and afterwards, all my installed applications like skype, internet browsers, etc., were gone. I tried installing the apps again and everything went smoothly though a little slower. I thought I needed to update some applications for better performance, so I checked for some and tried installing them.
Then yesterday, when I tried to open Microsoft Publisher, my laptop just suddenly froze. The mouse and keyboard didn't work so I had to turn it off using the main power switch. And everytime, I turned it on, everything was just slow.
Can you help me fix the problem? Also, can you help me speed up its performance?
Thanks a lot in advance.
This question was solved.

Hi @blissss ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I will do my best to assist you. I have read about your HP 14-r024tx Notebook and having slow speeds. Thank you for all the information about what is happening.
Something is slowing the Notebook down. Did you install some virus protection or a firewall? If you disable this are your speeds better. I had a DVD in my Notebook that slowed the startup process a lot. You might want to check that.
Here is a document on improving your system.
Make sure all updates have been completed in the control panel or click the Windows key and start typing PC settings, then go to update.
Please let me know how this goes.

Photoshop cs3 crashes when trying to open any file

When I purchased CS3 Web Premium it took several months of tooling around to get it to install on Vista HP. Photoshop cs3 worked fine for a few months after installation. It now refuses to open any files - just goes to an eternal spinning icon. When I try to shut it down, it just says not responding. I reinstalled once (takes hours) and it worked for an afternoon. Next morning back to not opening files.
Macine is dell xps M1210, 2Gb Ram, Core 2 T5600 processor, NVIDIA Go 7400 64Mb card.
Help.

Problem (hopefully) solved!
file>open has always been available, but when i select a file and open it is when it hangs. Hitting esc then has no effect.
Tried the reset preferences - still no change.
A friend suggested delete all network printers and voila - it worked! Still keeping fingers and toes crossed every time I use pshop, a little annoying that I have to send files to another machine to print (fortunately I rarely need to print files), and input devices hard to use with everything crossed.
Thanks for suggestions Dave.

InDesign CS5.5 crashes when trying to open ANY CS5.5 document

I am using InDesign CS5.5 and can't open any of my InDesign CS5.5 documents. The message "InDesign has stopped working" appears.
Even when trying to create a new document, again the message "Adobe InDesign CS5.5 has stopped working" - close programme.
InDesign was working perfectly on Friday. Saved and exported a file to pdf, all okay.
Are you able to help.

Hi Peter
I uninstalled the whole CS5.5, downloaded and ran the cleaning thing, reinstalled the whole suite but it came up with the message that the install had errors … every other module worked except Indesign which still did the same thing .. it would open, but not an existing or new doc … below is the error log
Did everything again.. same result
did it again but this time also deleted every folder with reference to 5.5 and cleaned the registry .. same result
finally, I did it all again, but this time did NOT install Fireworks (because of the error log below), 32bit Photoshop, Flash or the Apple support thingy .. and it now works !!
so it seems there is a problem with one or more of the above … was there an update around 24-26 May ??
Interestingly there's no icon against the Indesign program menu listing (but it still works) but the icon is still shown against all the 'indd' files
We rang support about 4 hours ago, they couldn't help but were going to look into it and get back to us 'within the hour' … needless to say they didn’t .. hope this 'work around' goes onto the blog and helps others
regards

Help - PPro hangs when trying to open a project

The project was working fine earlier today. I haven't changed the drive letters involved, and the autosave files also hang it. I've tried importing the project into a new project, as well as copying the proj file somewhere else, renaming the folder with all the footage in it, and opening that. What happens in all cases is Prem loads and gives me the "recent projects" panel. (My project was in this, but then I did a system restore in case that would fix it, and it hasn't - all that seems to have happens is that Prem has lost its recent history.) I open the project. The progress bar gets to about 75% of the way within a second or two, then hangs. The amount of memory Prem is using doesn't increase in the task manager, CPU usage is nowhere near 100%, etc. I've defragged the disks (they didn't really need it anyway) and the registry (which did need it) and that doesn't seem to have done anything.
I've also tried opening the prproj file in XML Wrench and fixing it for valid XML, but it found no errors. The file itself is only about 4Mb, and not particularly complex - just AVI files and images with scale, position etc keyframes on them.
I just tried importing the project into a new one, but instead of importing all sequences I chose "selected sequences". I got the message "An Adobe Dynamic Link error occurred".
Finally I've just managed to open the project in AE, with no fussing, although all the footage items are missing and when I use Replace Footage, this doesn't seem to do anything!!!!! Ctrl-H, locate the file, click on it - at this point AE would usually find the other 200 or whatever missing items - but it doesn't even find the one I've just clicked on! They're there on the disk, I can preview them from windows explorer.
AAARGH! Anyone got any ideas about anything else I could try, or is this "just one of those things"? Obviously, this has a deadline of, er, tomorrow morning. If I lose it and hurl the whole thing through a window I might post pics, I think they'd be therapeutic.....
Thanks in advance

Connected the external drive to it, tried to load the project (the ext drive it's on comes up as the M drive, not H, as there's a CD drive on H already which I can't figure out how to get rid of - disabling all CD drives in Device Manager doesn't seem to do it). Predictably this didn't work; it froze as before.I
n the OS of this other machine:
To assign, change, or remove a drive letter
Using the Windows interface
Open Computer Management (Local).
In the console tree, click Disk Management.Where?
Computer Management (Local)
Storage
Disk Management
Right-click a partition, logical drive, or volume, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
Do one of the following:
To assign a drive letter, click Add, click the drive letter you want to use, and then click OK.
To modify a drive letter, click it, click Change, click the drive letter you want to use, and then click OK.
To remove a drive letter, click it, and then click Remove.
Important
Be careful when making drive-letter assignments because many MS-DOS and Windows programs make references to a specific drive letter. For example, the path environment variable shows specific drive letters in conjunction with program names.
Notes
To open Computer Management, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this procedure.
A computer can use up to 26 drive letters. Drive letters A and B are reserved for floppy disk drives, but you can assign these letters to removable drives if the computer does not have a floppy disk drive. Hard disk drives in the computer receive letters C through Z, while mapped network drives are assigned drive letters in reverse order (Z through B).
You cannot change the drive letter of the system volume or boot volume.
An error message may appear when you attempt to assign a letter to a volume, CD-ROM drive, or other removable media device, possibly because it is in use by a program in the system. If this happens, close the program accessing the volume or drive, and then click the Change Drive Letter and Paths command again.
Windows 2000 and Windows XP allow the static assignment of drive letters on volumes, partitions, and CD-ROM drives. This means that you permanently assign a drive letter to a specific partition, volume, or CD-ROM drive. When you add a new hard disk to an existing computer system, it will not affect statically assigned drive letters.
You can also mount a local drive at an empty folder on an NTFS volume using a drive path instead of a drive letter. For more information, click Related Topics.
You can re-assign the drive letter for the DVD burners and then assign the appropriate drive letter to match what your Project expects.
I swap machines a lot with Projects, and have each external's drive letter assignment the same on all computers.
Good luck,
