Why won't Premiere Elements 8 launch on windows 7?

I have installed photoshop and premiere elements 8 onto my new computer from the original disks that I purchased a few years ago. Photoshop launches fine. Element, however, goes into the welcome screen and all looks well...that is until I try to launch 'New Project' or even 'Organize' or 'Open Project'..I click the icon, it seems busy for about 20 seconds, then simply goes back to the welcome screen. The program will not open..period!.. I have made sure the video driver is up to date, that Quick Time is up to date, I installed the update from the Adobe website to 8.1, even tried reinstalling the program..still nothing.. My kids rock band is coming out tonight to start their music video, and I am not ready to rock n roll over here...HELP!!! ANY SUGGESTIONS?........

Welcome to the forum.
This ARTICLE offers a checklist of things to do, to get PrE to run most smoothly, then goes into several links on tuning up one's computer and their OS, and finally has links on troubleshooting, which rather work up in "degree of difficulty."
Also, you state that your audio and video drivers are up to date. Did you check on the mfgr's. Web sites, and compare their latest drivers with those that you have installed? If not, that would be my very first step. If one relies on Windows, or any utility to tell if they have the latest drivers, they will likely be at least 6 mos. out of date. Same with a new computer - the drivers will likely be 6 mos, or more, out of date. One needs to go to each mfgr's. Web site and check.
Also, if there are Audio editing programs on the computer, see this ARTICLE for some possibilities.
Good luck, and if nothing is helpful, then please list the full specs. of your computer.

Why won't Premiere Elements 11 install

Why doesn't Adobe Premiere 11 install on my Mac Book Pro?

Can you provide more information about what happens when you try to install the software? Can you describe the actions you've tried and the results you're getting? Are you getting error messages? Are you installing from a download or from a disk?
In the meantime, here are instructions you can follow:

Why won't photoshop elements work on windows 7?

The editor will act like it's opening but when it does it ends up becoming unresponsive. I've tried repairing, I've tried re-installing.. nothing works. HELP!

I have Elements 12 and it just keeps freezing. It stats the catalog is currently locked or busy. I can't get at my folders.

Premiere Elements 8/9 Windows 7 64bit

History....
I was running Premiere Elements 8 on Windows 7 32 bit with little to no problems.
I recently Upgraded my system primarily for more RAM to use with video editing and upgraded to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
I re-installed elements 8 and the same format of video that was fine on the 32 bit now showed up as a red screen in playback through elements with audio.
This wasn't the only problem. Sometimes when starting up elements the home screen was just blank and would not show the timeline or any other boxes for that matter.
I decided to purchase elements 9.0 and so didn't try too hard to iron out the above details.
However I'm now experiencing the very same problems with version 9.
When the program starts up (no error messages) the screen just shows me the shell and no other boxes show including the timeline!!!
Everything is greyed out other than starting new project again which throws up the same scenario.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!
PS I have also tried changing the project settings but to no avail

Hey Bill and thanks for your answer.
Without changing a thing (to my knowledge) Prem 9 is now starting up properly.
Well 5 out of 6 start ups have been successful!!
Not sure why this is, but project editing and manipulation all seem to working fine and have even exported an end product!!
I guess I'll just have to see how things go.
Thanks again for your suggestions and Happy New Year!!!!

Why won't Photoshop Elements 12 open?

After being away for 3 months, I attempted to open and use PSE 12 and it does not open. Today I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking that would help, but it doesn't. It appears as though it's going to open, but the little "streaming" just stops. Your assistance in resolving this problem is greatly appreciated.

I am not a technician so I can't go too deep in the analysis... I did all I could imagine to do, I would like that somebody from Adobe would take care of this issue finding solution to the problem.

>Hoping that you get a break through in your troubleshooting. Do not give up. I kept searching and searching for an answer to my Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor not opening while the Elements Organizer 12 would. I have reams of data from October 2013 to April 2014 troubleshooting of the issue. Everything pointed to an activation issue but I could never target the place to fix until my break through came unexpectedly. And, as I found out, the SLStore Folder and SLCache Folder have "something" to do with activation according to the Adobe person who put forth what turned out to be the solution for me. Based on my encounter with this problem, I would say Windows No, Photoshop Elements activation Yes.

Adobe Photoshop en Premiere Elements 13 - Nederlands/ Windows

Kan de DVD met het programma 'Adobe Photoshop en Premiere Elements 13 - Nederlands/ Windows' zowel voor een 32 bits als voor 64 bits PC gebruikt worden aub?
Ik ben zinnens om volgend jaar een PC 64 bits aan te kopen
Nu werk ik op nog op 32 bits.
M.v.g.
Photoshop Elements

Well, the English version comes with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit installer. I don't know why the Nederlands installer would be different, but if you can, I would download it as a trial first.

Trying to install Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 7 but keep getting error message 'A reduced set of content has been installed' - help!

We bought Premiere Elements 10/Photoshop Element 10 a while ago and it worked brilliantly on our Window XP machine, but since we moved to Windows 7 last year we can't get Premiere Elements 10 to work properly and always get the error message 'A reduced set of content (Instant Movie Themes, Title and Menu templates, etc) has been installed. You can install the full content by inserting your Content DVD or downloading it. Do you want to install now?'. So I've tried reinserting the DVDs and installing them. I've uninstalled all the software and started again, but each time I get the same message at the end of the process. I've spoken to the computer shop I bought the computer from and they say Windows 7 is incompatible, but that doesn't seem to be what the Adobe web site says. Please, any advice welcome as I've got a year's worth of videos I need to edit.
Thank you!

Are you working with Windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit? What video card/graphics card does your computer use? NVIDIA GeForce? And, are you doing your download and installing with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Premiere Elements 12 is compatible with Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
If you have tried to obtain the Premiere Elements 10 Content from the installation disc labelled for Content for your version and operating system and that is not working, then can try downloading and installing the Content from the following Adobe link if you do not decide to click on the message to initiate the content download from within the program.

Why won't my printer print with Windows 8?

Why won’t my printer print with Windows 8?
Have you just upgraded, or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can’t get your printer to work? If so, this may help you. A lot of people have questions about installing their printer on a new OS. This will help you answer those questions and make sure that you get everything installed.
Before You Start
Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8 computer, you should check to make sure the printer is compatible with the new OS. The link below will give you a list of the printers that will work in Windows 8.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03168175&lc=en&cc=us&destPage=document&dlc=en
If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 form another version of Windows, make sure to completely uninstall all of the software for your printer. It should still print, but to use all the functions you will need to reinstall the software, if it’s available.
Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.
USB. You should make sure that you have a USB cable that is no longer than 6 ft. (roughly 2m). Make sure to connect the printer directly to the computer. Do not use a USB hub.
Ethernet cable. Make sure you have the network setup, that you have a free cable port on the router, and that you have an Ethernet cable available.
Wireless. You should make sure that you have the wireless network setup, and that you have the password for the wireless network.
1.     Installing Via USB
Installing via USB in Windows 8 has become much simpler for HP printer users. In other versions of the Windows OS you had to start the installation and wait for it to ask you for the USB connection. If you didn’t, you would have to uninstall the printer from the Printers/Devices folder, and then start the install. In Windows 8, that will not be a problem. If you plug the printer’s USB cable in and then install the printer’s software, it will still work. Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via USB click the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460670&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
2.     Installing Via an Ethernet Network Connection
For an Ethernet network connected printer the install is amazingly simple. All you have to do is connect the printer to the network. Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you. Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available. It’s really that easy.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
3.     Installing Via a Wireless Network Connection.
For a wireless network connected printer the install is amazingly simple as well. All you have to do is connect the printer to the network. Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you. Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available. It’s pretty much the same as an Ethernet install, just wireless.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
Alternate Install Methods
With Windows 8, many printers’ drivers are installed with the OS. These are known as InOS drivers, since they come built into the operating system. If you have one of those printers, all you should have to do is connect it to the computer via USB, or connect it to the network via Ethernet or wireless. Once you have that done Windows will handle the rest. There are alternate methods of installing your printer if the normal methods are not working for some reason. You can install the printer either using the Printer Install Wizard, or through Windows Updates.
Printer Install Wizard:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02681060&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Windows Update:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460648&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Note: The Laserjet drivers for the Asia-Pacific and Japan won’t be released until a later date. Check the support site linked below for driver availability. I will update this post once they become available.

Transferring Premiere Elements 11 from Windows 7 to Windows 8 computer question

Do i have to use my backups to reinstall Premiere Elements correctly, or can i simply add the internal drive i used in Windows 7 strictly for Premiere, move it to the new Windows 8 computer, reinstall the Elements program, and direct it to the proper hard drive? I have current incremental backups on a NAS drive, but it seems like i should just be able to use the internal drive that already has everything on it.
Thanks,

awgriffey2013
What do you have - purchased installation files/serial number from an online purchase from Adobe direct or installation disc with serial number purchased in boxed packaging from an authorized reseller.
If you do not plan on using 11 on Windows 7 thereafter,
Deactivate 11 on 7, Help Menu/Deactivate - close out of there
Uninstall Control Panel Route
Deactivate and uninstall are not the same thing. Depending on your plans, you may not want to uninstall, just deactivate.
You are simply going to install Premiere Elements 11 to Windows 8 computer, using installation files or installation disc.
Do you have Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 projects that you want to salvage? If so, how many? I would archive them
File Menu/Project Archiver/Copy Project and transfer the Copied Folder via USB to the Windows 8 computer.
For Elements Organizer considerations, please review the following
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
At this time I have no comments on your backups on NAS and how it might relate to your end goal.
Please review the above and then let us know if any of the above works for you.
Thanks.

Add On...Just in case note, Adobe allows you to install/activate the purchase serial number for a given product on no more than
2 of your computers. Then use these same products with the same activated serial number one at a time.

Premiere Elements 4 on Windows 7 shuts down when I try to create disk folder

Loaded Premiere Elements 4 on a new computer running on Windows 7. Previously used this software on Windows XP with no issues other than slow. After creating a project and going to Share/Burn Disc I receive a message that Adobe Premiere Elements.exe has stopped working.

Dolly Jeane
Are you getting any message about MPEG2 Activation?
What are you trying to do....burn to folder Folder (4.7 GB) or burn to disc? There seems to be a conflict between your thread title "create disk folder" and body of reply "going to Share/Burn Disc".
I have Premiere Elements 4 on Windows 7 64 bit, and it has been running OK for Share/Disc/DVD disc with the standard or widescreen presets.
Are you having problems with the burn to folder as well as burn to disc? If you have not tried burn to folder, please try that and let us know how that works.
Also, please tell us what the burn dialog shows in its Quality area for Space Required and Bitrate (with check mark next to Fit Contents to Available Space.
Thanks.

Premiere Elements 13, on Windows 7 64 bit, Problem fading to black at end of video.

With Premiere Elements 13, on Windows 7 64 bit, I am attempting to end a video with a fade to black transition. For whatever reason, it is fading to black then returning. Yes, I have tried it all three ways right, left and in between, but the it keeps fading out then in. And yes the transition is at the very end of the clip.

morrisst
I have Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 64 bit.
When I apply the Dip to Black video transition to the last Timeline clip, the Alignment is Left Clip. You have been there and done that.
Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing when the Dip to Black transitions stops on your Timeline?
When I do as you have suggested I see this
Have you expanded the Timeline with the -+ slider above the Timeline and inspect the end of the clip as well as
other track content above or below, do you detect an fragments that might be a factor in what you are seeing?
If you start a new project, do you get the same result?
Could you post a screenshot displaying what you are seeing with the Dip to Black video transition placed at the end
of the last clip on your Timeline (Alignment: Left Clip)?
Thank you.

Add On..I posted this reply earlier today but somehow the last part was not included in the thread. So I am adding that now to the original content.
