Windows 7, OE, and PRE Crashes

To Whom It May Concern:
I uncovered what could be a problem in OE (Organizer Elements). This could be causing crashes and numerous unexplained problems in OE and PRE in Windows 7. Please see my post in the PRE forum entitled: "Aero Problems on Win 7 With PRE, PSE and OE".
It appears that Adobe engineers are not making the proper API calls to the Aero interface. If this is the case; they are going around the proper GUI and making calls directly to the drivers or other interfaces for the display.
If this is happening; "all bets could be off " in regards to proper Windows operation. It could have many unexpected consequences and crashes in Windows. (It is like many of the old game designers going around the GUI for access to the display; not a recommend approach in modern system design).
I explain how I came to this conclusion in my post to PRE the forum. I could be wrong, but I would not trust OE management of data until this is fixed in OE and PRE. Until Adobe releases these products with the proper the calls to Aero and they act like other Windows compliant programs; I would not trust them with important data.
Your thoughts on this would be welcome.

You should probably tell Adobe then - this is a user-to-user community forum.
You can contact them by following the 'Contact Adobe' link at the bottom of every forum page.

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

My Final Cut Pro X doesn't run. An Izotope window pops up and fcp crashes

Hello,
i installed a trial version of Izotope RX2 but now Final Cut does not open. A authorization window from Izotope pops up when i open FCP and it crashes. I can't press any button (Authorization or Continue) of that window and FCP crashes, i always have to force quit.
I have already cleared Izotope but the plug-ins of Izotope still appear on my Reaper (audio software).
Did this ever happened with anybody? Or just somebody knows anything that could help?
Thanks for the attention

I'm guessing you have an izotope audio unit plugin still installed on your mac that's causing problems.
Trying finding it and removing it temporarily from here:

I've just bought and installed PS elements 13 on Windows 7 x64 and it crashes as soon as it's started (1st run)

After what I thought was a legit copy of PS Elements 8 expired tonight after a month, I bought PS Elements 13 and installed it on a Windows 7 Pro x64 machine.
It installed properly, and on first load, it opened the welcome screen, then both Organise and Edit options cause an immediate crash, and everytime since.
Multiple restarts with no difference.
Elements 8 removed, no difference.
Elements 13 removed and reinstalled with no difference.
How can I find out what's wrong and get this fixed ASAP?
That, or somehow purchase a PS Elements 8 licence??

You may have a configuration problem in your network (IP conflict). Are you using DHCP?
There is also the possibility of some problem with the HP App.
You should try posting this problem on the HP printer forums. Try here: ePrint, Print Apps, Mobile Printing, and ePrintCenter

I just downloaded Firefox 4 and I run Windows 7 Ultimate and it crashes before it loads up I double click the link and it brings up the "Mozilla Crash Reporter" everytime I try to start it.

Basically I downloaded Firefox 4 when it was a beta and now after it's been released and everytime I double click the shortcut or the direct link in the start menu and it shows my mouse with the loading icon and then it pops up the "Mozilla Crash Reporter" and I've submitted multiple reports and got nothing back and I now can't revert back to pre-4.0 Firefox to even just use it while the problem is rectified.

Your best bet would be to uninstall the BETA and install the actual release, instructions as follows.
* Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0] and download a fresh installation file to the desktop. If necessary, download the file with IE8 or 9, but choose to save it to your desktop when you see the prompt.
* Hit '''CTRL+SHIFT+ESC''' to bring up '''Task Manager''', go to the '''Processes '''list and see if you can find '''firefox.exe''' running in there. If you do, right click it and choose "'''Kill Process'''".
* Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to '''Mozilla Firefox''' and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
* Then reboot and delete the folder called '''Mozilla Firefox''' at this location: ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
If you prefer to install the previous secure version which is v3.6.16, use the following link, otherwise the procedure is the same: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16]

PRE crash and now stuck at splash screen - HELP!!

I was working on a small project (5 mins) a couple of sound tracks and was moving one to different location and PRE crashed - now when I open the program up the splash screen is blurred and I can't select anything except the 8.01 update and those things - HELP - project due in 4 hours!!

With regard to the original desktop icon which targets Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe
a. if you do not have the program open via Adobe Premiere Elements.exe and you have closed the program that got opened to the Welcome Screen with Adobe Premiere Elements.exe, and if you go back to the Task Manager/Processes,
DO YOU SEE ANY INSTANCES OF "ADOBE PREMIERE ELEM,,," IN THE LIST OF PROCESSES THERE? If the answer is no, then I do not think that you have to worry unless you have a compelling need for the Welcome Screen. Just my point of view, but the only reasons for it being seem to be:
a. For Adobe to monitor (track) your activities
b. Quick access to photoshop.com
c. Be kept up to date with Adobe Ads
You should have full control of your Premiere Elements projects using Adobe Premiere Elements.exe to open the program without the Welcome Screen. I just wanted to make sure that there is no evidence that you have 2 instances of the program being open at the same time.
If you look at the processes opening using Process Explorer Sysinternals, you will note
a. if you click on the icon that targets Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe, the first process that opens is Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe, followed by Adobe Premiere Elements.exe and what looks like PhotoshopServer.exe. After Adobe Premiere Elements.exe and PhotoshopServer.exe appear, the Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe disappears from the scene leaving the other 2 processes as the running processes.
b. if you click on the icon that targets Adobe Premiere Elements.exe, Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe never appears, just direct to Adobe Premiere Elements.exe and PhotoshopServer.exe which remain as the running processes.
I am not sure what happened to your Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe file. But I do not see that you need it to move forward in your projects. I would be curious to know the whys, but is it worth it on your time schedule?

Firefox freezes trying to download or save files, Import/Export bookmarks, clicking (Tools) Options (was: Fire Fox crashes in Windows safe mode and in Firefox Safe mode)

Hi
XP sp3 4gb ram
Firefox 6.0.2
Firefox crashes every time I do any of the following. Then I have to force quit Fire fox.
If i click a download link on a web page, Firefox freezes the instant I click the link
...but Firefox does not freeze if I click a web link on a web page or page navigation link.
If i go to the Menu bar > Tools > Options, Firefox freezes the instant I select Options from the Tools menu.
...but Firefox does not freeze if select any other item from the Tools menu.
If I go to the Menu bar > File, Firefox instantly freezes the instant I select either "Save Page as..." or "Open file..."
...but Firefox does not freeze if I select any other option from the File menu such as: New Tab, New Window, Send Link, page Setup, Print, Exit etc
If I go the Menu Bar > Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks > Import and Backup, Firefox instantly freezes the second I select "Import" or "Export"
... but Firefox does not freeze if I select any other command in the Bookmarks sub menus, nor does it freeze if I back out of the menu entirely.
Same as above for History if I select "Import" or "Export"
...so I have isolated the problem to a limited number of commands in Firefox that cause Firefox to freeze... described above. Everything else in Firefox works fine.
HERE IS A SUMMARY OF WHAT CAUSES THE FREEZING:
• Clicking a download link on a webpage
• Going to the Menu Bar > File and selecting "save as" or "Open File"
• Going to the Menu bar > Tools and selecting Options.
• Going to Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks > Import and Backup and selecting either "Import" or "Export"
• Same as above for History if I select "Import" or "Export"
Everything else in Firefox works fine. I went through every menu command and checked for freezes. Only the commands I mentioned above cause the freezing.
I tried the following to try to fix it:
• Reset my modem and router (Problem still exists)
• Uninstalled FF. Deleted folders, profiles (Downloads.sqlite), Registry entries. Reinstalled. (Problem still exists)
• Restarted FF in Firefox safe mode. (Problem still exists)
• Restarted in Windows Safe mode and then started FF in Firefox safe mode (Problem still exists)
• Disabled Window firewall. Disabled ZoneAlarm firewall, Shutdown ZoneAlarm firewall. Set Internel Options to default settings. (Problem still exists)
• I reset the config option: browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone to false
What does work?
• Firefox does not crash when I click a link an go a website, navigate a page, use a menu item command.
• Firefox works fine on my other computer.
• Internet Explorer works fine on the computer that Firefox is having a problem on.
• My other applications work fine on the computer that Firefox is having a problem on.
I want to add that, I just overcame the XP Recovery Virus by following a post that suggested running the following software to fix the virus. Everything seems back to normal except Firefox.
The software I ran to fix the problem are listed below:
• malwarebytes
• superantispyware
• ccleaner
• combofix.
• smart defrag
• then load a good anti-virus. (I ran Zone Alarm virus scan)

Hi.
This is about a question you posted to the Firefox Support forum three months ago (I'm sorry you never got an answer).
Did you ever fix the problem where Firefox freezes or hangs, when clicking a download link or using (File menu) "save as" or "open file"? Or when going to the Firefox (Tools) menu and clicking Options ? Or trying to Import or Export bookmarks?
I found this thread searching for a solution for someone on MozillaZine's support forum who's having a similar issue. See this thread: (maybe something he's tried that didn't work for him will work for you?)

I just installed Illustrator CC for the first time (Windows 8) and it crashed at launch every time

I just recently installed Illustrator on an Windows 8 machine and when I try to launch it 32 or 64bit it crashes right after the splash screen.

Your info is too vague. you have to provide detailed system info and otehr details liek the crash logs. On a hunch you may need to look at this:

Ps and Ai crash Windows 8.1

Both Photoshop and Illustrator crashed after start.
Ai - when starts it said "Not enough Memory" then it said Missing PDFFORMAT.aip plugin.
After I press and hold "Alt+Ctrl+Shift" it started normally but crashed after launch.
Another one I tried to Run as System Admin and it started normally but crashes after launch.
Photoshop - Just crash after launch no matter what I do.
I have Walcom tablet and I did uninstall the driver. There isn't any problem loading Pr and Ae. Only Ps and Ai affected.
My system:
Lenovo laptop i7 - 4700HQ, 16GB Ram, Windows 8.1, GTX860M and Intel 4700HD GPU.

Itunes keeps crashing with Windows 8.1 and doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad to syn. Frustrated!!!

After new Itunes update ... it keeps crashing with Windows 8.1 and doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad to syn. Frustrated!!! I have unninstalled it .. installed it, but nothing happens. I even loaded an earlier itunes version, it worked without crashing, but it still did not recognize iphone or ipad.

Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Windows 8.1 sharing and skydrive crashes

Hello. Thanks for the great forum.
I have 3 new win 8 pcs, all auto-updated to 8.1. All used exclusively by me, all set for sharing.
One of them keeps crashing when right clicking any Skydrive related file or shortcut.
It does not show up on my Skydrive online folder with the others.
It frequently refuses accessibility from the other 2 pcs on the same network.
When one of its folders is opened on another pc to add something or modify it, it does a "you need permission" loop.
Refreshing Windows is out of the question.
I have used troubleshooting tools in Network and Internet. I have compared Skydrive permissions with the other 2 pcs.
I have used SkyDriveBlueSelfHelp.diagcab to get Skydrive to behave. Have spent 2 days reading threads with no success.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks so much.

Hi. Really appreciate your reply. I did the reg key fix, and checked that it was done, but I'm afraid I'm not fixed.
Unlike many others with skydrive trouble, the win+X menu works on this pc. And the pc is keeping in sync. Also Skydrive isn't making random duplicate folders.
I've make desktop shortcuts to essential skydrive folders on the desktop on all pcs. If I click on them on the buggy pc, they open the file. But if I right click the shortcuts, they struggle for a long time, and then crash explorer. The others pcs have no
problem. The buggy pc doesn't show up with the others on skydrive.com. And tends to need file sharing fixes all the times.
So my symptoms are a bit off the ones I'm seeing described out there.
I was hoping I could squeak under the wire with your good suggestion, but I must have some other bug.
A big thanks in any case.

IAccessible on Windows 8.1 and uiautomation reference leaks causing crashes in our applications.

We have started crashing on Windows 8.1 and I have traced the problem to uiautomation.dll and combase.dll. The root cause of the problem is reference counting. It appears that on Windows 8.1 uiautomation is using keyboard hooks and other means to constantly
query for interfaces leading to reference leaks on UI objects. We use MFC and have code that has relied on reference couting to to lead to calls to DestroyWindow. However on Windows 8.1, in cases where we expect, and historically have had, the window get destroyed,
we have windows now hanging around due to elevated reference counts. I can set breaks in the MFC oleunk.cpp and monitor the reference count going up in CCmdTarget::ExternalAddRef for say, a command bar (menu) and after constantly clicking the menu, the reference
count just keeps increasing and increasing. I can quite quickly cause the reference count to zoom into the hundreds. We started getting reports of crashes on Windows 8.1 from customers and at first I didn't duplicate the issue. Then my Windows 8.1 box rebooted
on me (that's another issue as it did so on its own even though I said to defer the restart and I lost data thanks to that nasty Win 8 feature) and after updates installed, I could easily duplicate the crash.
The version now installed for uiautomation is "7.2.9600.17415 (winblue_r4.141028-1500)" and "6.3.9600.17415 (winblue_r4.141028-1500)" as seen from the Visual Studio debugger's modules window. I do see some release calls coming from
a function named "AccessibleObjectFromWindowTimeOut" and wonder what the "TimeOut" implies. That is because the easiest way for a user to crash our app on Windows 8.1 is to use GoToMeeting on Windows 8.1 and invite a participant to take
control of the application. I can also crash on Windows 8.1 simply by setting various break points and trace points to print messages as I track what is going on. That is, the crashes appear to be dependent on some sort of race condition and the debugger interferes
with the proper functioning of whatever is occurring inside uiautomation and combase. I have never seen the debugger "interfere" with a process in this way. I can run the same app and perform the same tasks on Windows 7 and these calls that cause
the ref count to constantly increase simply are not made (and combase.dll doesn't get injected into our process on Windows 7). I think Microsoft needs to look into what they are doing on Windows 8 and start releasing interfaces they are leaking when obtaining
the IAccessible interface from windows that implement it.
R.D. Holland

A dump file doesn't show the cause of the crash - an ever increasing reference count. I changed an implementation of OnGetObject (MFC API) and and didn't return the IAccessible interface and the reference count remained the same on Windows 8.1 as it does
on Windows 7. I did that after tracing the ever increasing reference count to calls to get IAccessible coming from those MS DLLs. Eventually I made sure we destroy the window when we think it should be destroyed instead of relying on the MFC reference counting
mechanism. We have testing code that relies on UI automation so just refusing to give out IAccessible isn't an option as I don't know the context of the request.

Hey robr72339266,
With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.
Regards,
Anubha
