Why won't the program fully open?

I bought Adobe Premiere Elements 8 a while ago but have lacked a computer that could handle it properly. I recently bought a powerful laptop so I installed Premiere Elements 8 right away, hoping to edit some videos. Unfortunately for some reason it can't open fully. I will choose a name and destination to save the project but when I try to actually work with the program it freezes on me, not telling me what is wrong.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling to the same result. What can I try?

How much free, clean, freshly defragmented space is on your C drive? Brand new computers can be a mess of fragmentation and temp files. First, ensure you have at least 20-30 gigs of free space. Then run this free program to clean things off:

Then defragment your drive.
Also, manually go to Windows Update and ensure you have even the non-critical updates. And go to Apple.com and ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime per the program's requirements.
If it still won't open, please provide us more information about your computer including your operating system, your processor speed and your RAM load.

  • Why won't the responses file open when I receive a submitted form

    Hi all,  We have recently started to use Acrobat Pro X for editable pdfs.  When training was done (all work contained was created on our server) the responses file opened as it should when a submitted form was received.  Now trying to use these forms "live" the response file doesn't open.  The wording to double click the file and select the response file is in the body of the email of the submitted form but instead of the response file opening the form opens.  Anyone have any ideas??

    It does seem to be happening to all forms received.  We are using Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create the editable pdfs.
    When you ask "being used to save the forms?"  do you mean from the person submitting the form back to me?   If that is the case then Acrobat X also.

  • Why won't the App Store open?

    I have a 2 month old iPad "3". Updated last weekend to OS6. At first everything worked fine. Then 4 days ago began having problems with Safari not opening pages unless I did reload. Then App Store won't open. Then iTunes wouldn't open either. Just white screen with spinner. Then message, Cannot connect to iTunes Store (which it says for both iTunes store & the App store). Yesterday App Store worked for about an hour, then was gone again. Today, completely gone. I can access it just fine on my iPod touch! Checked all settings. Time setting on automatic only gives me the spinner thing. Don't know if that's relevant. But all others Okay. Network okay, internet connection okay. Did restart, synced to my computer, still no iTunes or App store. Using Opera mini browser instead of Safari. I can't get the in-app purchase I made yesterday on my iPod - it won't open in iPad - still gives me the demo version. How am I going to use the app on the iPad? Very disappointed & worried.
    Anybody know anything about this?? HELP!!!

    Yes I am = I am having the very same problem.
    I synced the mini with computer. Now I can search App Store but can't download. I tried to sign out of my account, which worked, and sign in to another account (read about this somewhere that it had helped), but now it won't sign into any account. Just say "cannot connect with iTunes Store".

    Try this first - 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.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Why won't the new preview open single images?

    I have been using preview to investigate screen shots I've been taking. The problem is preview is opening every single file I've viewed with it when I open it. I take a lot of screenshots.
    How do I get image preview to open JUST the image I told it to open? How do I make it stop opening multiple images at once when I don't ask it to?

    Have you been quitting (CMD + Q) the application when you're done looking at the images without closing each window?  I noticed this same behaviour and made it go away by closing windows prior to quitting Preview. Same goes for other applications such as Quicktime or Safari.
    If you want to prevent this from happening in every app you can change it in the General Preferences in your System Preferences.

    Remove all apps listed there.
    And check /Library/StartupItems
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder

  • I won Lightroom 1.0 a few years ago at an Adobe clinic in Fremont. I have since misplaced the original disk and cannot get the program to open. It wants a serial number and I don't have one. How can I get the serial number so I can use the software?

    I won Lightroom 1.0 as a door prize a few years ago at an Adobe clinic in Fremont. I have since misplaced the original disk and cannot get the program to open. It wants a serial number and I don't have one. How can I get the serial number so I can use the software?

    Thanks for replying, Jim. I wasn't planning to use it for raw images. I shoot film, black and white, and have many negatives I want to print. I am unfamiliar with the upgrades in Lightroom. I wasn't unhappy with the version I have. It was useful for my purposes.
    Because it was a few years ago, I don't remember if I registered the product. I was able to login to my account. But could not find a path to communicate with Adobe. I will keep trying.

  • Why won't my Adobe Bridge open?

    Why won't my Adobe Bridge Open? I keep getting an error message. I first installed the free trial of Illustrator CS 6, but a few days ago joined the creative cloud. I would just uninstall & reinstall Bridge, but its not in the list of apps to install. Since joining the cloud I have also installed photoshop & indesign. Doesn't Adobe have chat support? I used in when first signing up for Cloud. Now I can't find it.
    Thanks!

    Hi Trisher83,
    Bridge gets installed along with other programs (like Illustrator or Photohop) so it might require uninstalling all CS6 products to be able to reinstall it.
    I would uninstall all CS6 products and then reinstall one which includes Bridge from a new user account and test to see if you still get the error.

  • Why won't some pdf-files open on tablet/phone?

    I simply get the error saying: The document cannot be opened because it's not a valid pdf-document.
    However I have no problems opening the file with my laptop, only my phone and tablet (Jellybean 4.2.2) won't open it.
    My friends also have managed to open the file on their tablets (android/windows).
    Have reinstalled and checked updates and tried other programs but none has worked for me.
    I simply have no clue and would appreciate help.

    Hey,
    Seems like the problem was in the web browser I was using, as the file just
    didn't download correctly.
    Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated.

    Hey,
    spent some time discussing this with some friends of mine and found out
    that the document can be opened by downloading it to the computer and
    transferring then to the tablet or phone. The difference is that when
    downloading with tablet/phone I get a .pdf file, which only has some html
    code. So I guess the problem has something to do with the encryption of the
    file. Here are the 2 different files I get as attachments. After all this
    might not have anything to do with adobe, but some other stuff I don't
    really understand.

  • 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.

    And there we have the answer, the device was dropped.  A hardware issue exists... nothing that we can do to fix it but suggest you replace the device with a newer model or seek an Out of Warranty exchange at the Apple store.
