Won't load new project or anything

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 8 and it works just fine on my desktop.  I've installed it on my laptop now and it doesn't seem to be working.  When I try to create a new project, nothing appears. When I try to load a  previous project it says "Projects created with Adobe Premiere Pro and  Adobe Premiere Elements are not compatible." (I only have ever used  Premiere elements & mind you, these "previous projects" contain  nothing, because they're just the failed attempts at creating new  projects but with nothing actually happening after I get passed the  point of naming the new project)
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
The suggestions I've found through searching & such haven't helped.
I tried deleting all previous files,  uninstalling, reinstalling, just letting it sit and see if something  eventually happens, deleted the adobe premiere prefs file, etc...
Here are my specs:
Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
Model: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II N830 Triple-Core Processor 2.10 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.74 GB usable)
System type: 64-bit Operating System
Windows 7
I was actually able to get it to load a new project ONCE-- but then I exited it because I needed it to be widescreen instead of standard. With the exception of that one time, I haven't had any luck getting it to do anything.

Is it only your desktop it has been previously installed on? I ask because I think you can only install it on a maximum of two machines. If so you may have a licensing issue requiring you to deactivate one.
More likely though it is out-of-date drivers and/or the state of your laptop. The following basics are well proven to solve many, many problems with PRE:
Install all Windows Updates.
Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.9 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
Install PRE8 v8.0.1 update. Did the patch install successfully?
Run Disk Cleanup.
Run Defragmenter.
Reboot your PC.
Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
And post back here with the necessary information about your laptop described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started

  • IDVD won't load large project file..Help!

    iDVD won't load large project file once I close the program for the first time since finishing the project.  Basically, I made a compilation DVD of numerous individual files spread across quite a few folders/sub-menus totaling about 236 minutes on a Dual Layer DVD+R.  I closed the project prior to burning but now, iDVD gets the rainbow wheel everytime you try to load that particular project.  What's the deal?
    Notes:
    -iDVD does still load if I want to load another (smaller/simple project) or start a new one.
    -I've tried to start over from scratch a make the exact same project.  When I exited out and went to load it, it did the same thing.
    -I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and iDVD 7.1.2.
    Any suggestions?

  • Premiere Pro CC won't load my project

    However I am able to load the project on another computer running Premiere Pro CC. At my home computer the program launches, and I select the project I want, but the assets and sequences don't load into the Premiere windows. However if I open another project (that I have only worked on using my home computer) I have no problems loading the project.

    Hi, I am having this exact issue. In my case, both versions of PPro are exactly the same, base version installed from Creative Cloud client with no plugins used.
    Project opens with no issues on one pc and wont open on the pc it was originally created on. It does not crash or say 'not responding' but assets and sequences wont load
    as Kristine describes. I have tried creating a new project and importing the old one; the assets appear but the program seems to freeze up as I cant interact with anything and
    hear the windows ping noise with every click. The project is very simple; a low bitrate .mp4 video with .mp3 and .wav sound effects added.

  • Adobe Elements 9 won't open new project.

    My version of Adobe Elements 9, bought in April 2011 for my PC with Windows 7, won't allow me to open a new project. All I get is a greyed out prompt that won't go anywhere. It will open a prior project. I haven't used the program in about 9 months. This is the video part of the pacage, not Photshop, which seems to function fine. (Although at the advice of a for pay tech advice forum I reinstalled it afater deleting several of it's directories.)  I have reinstalled Elements, updated the flash player and run an Elements 9 update. Ideas?

  • Safari won't load new web sites after one or two are viewed

    I open Safari, view my homepage, go to another website, then when I try to go to another site after that, Safari won't load it. The curser is still a black arrow, the new address in the address bar has the blue loading stripe on it that only fills the address 1/4 of the way and no further. I have to quit Safari and then reopen it to go to another site. Also, it won't quit. I click quit and get the spinning ball for a long time so I have to Force Quit.
    Today I updated Safari to 3.2.3 I was running 3.2.1. I am on Mac OS 10.4.11. I thought maybe the update would fix this problem. But it didn't.
    Any help for this pretty computer illiterate user would be most appreciated!!

    Hey Hawaiian Starman! Aloha!
    Thanks so much for trying to help. I looked at Joe's problem and your reply to go to OnyX. I clicked on the link. Am I supposed to download something, or just work off that site? I clicked on the icon that said maintenance. It opened a window that had the following boxes and the Xs are the ones that were preselected.
    Maintenance: (X) Repair Permissions
    Execute Maintenance Scripts
    Cleaning: (X) System Cache
    (X) Application Cache
    (X) Fonts Cache
    (X) Logs and CrashReporter
    (X) Temporary items
    Rebuild:
    (X) Launch Services
    dlyd's shared cache
    Display of folders content
    Spotlight Index
    Mail-mailboxes Index
    The Xs are the defaults I guess. But I wasn't able to deselect any and choose another?
    Hey Hawaiian Starman, I think Apple should have you on their payroll! You are sweet to help!
    Many thanks for your help and patience.

  • Suddenly my PE7 won't load a project - any project.  Why?

    I've been using PE7 for two years.  This morning I left the project on which I was working on the desktop while I ran some errands with my wife.  Upon return several hours later the project was no longer on the desktop, and when I tried to load it, it would not load.  Instead, it put a minimized logo onto the task bar ( that bar at the bottom) and when I put my cursor on that logo, I see a single frame of the project I wanted to load.  Then if I try to load another project, I can see a frame of that project.  Can anybody help?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Am I correct that you have been Saving the Project (the PREL file) to the Desktop? That is not a good idea, as the Desktop folder has certain attributes, that are unlike other common folders.
    The ideal location is in a folder (I use the Project's name for my Project's root folder) on a separate physical HDD, than the OS and programs. If one only has one physical HDD, then there are fewer choices, but I would still use a regular folder, with the Project's name.
    When you navigate to the Desktop folder in Windows Explorer, do you see a file, with the Project's name, and the extension, /PREL? Note: depending on how you have your OS's Folder Options and File Display options set, you might not see the file's extension. I always set that Display to Show File Extensions, and also to Show System and Hidden Files, so that I can see everything.
    If you DO have that Project's .PREL file, I would Copy it to a new folder, with the Project's name in that folder's name.
    Now, can you launch PrE at all? If you can, at the Welcome Screen, choose Open Project (you will not want to try from the Project list), and then navigate to where you Copied that Project's .PREL file. Does that work?
    If you cannot launch PrE, then see this ARTICLE, which starts with a checklist of things to do, to get PrE to run, and run well. Note that some of the first tips are to upgrade the video and audio drivers, from the mfgr's. Web site. Do not trust Windows, or any utility to tell you, if you have the latest version - check on the mfgr's. Web site, or the mfgr. of your computer, if it's Dell, HP, Lenovo, Gateway, etc.
    Good luck, and please let us know how thing go.

  • Adobe Premiere elements 8 won't start new project; crash reports

    I just bought Premiere elements 8 and downloaded it, twice, because every time i try to start a new project a crash report comes up and the program closes. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Hi Alondra,
    there is a separate forum for Premiere Elements at
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premiere_elements
    I suggest that you look over there. They have a Premiere Elements FAQs section posted over on the right hand side of the thread listing. So I suggest that you look at those FAQs and if you don't find your answer there, then post in the main section of the Premiere Elements forum.
    Also if your computer has a Nvidia video card there is a banner at the top of the forum with specific info.
    Good luck.

  • My Skype won't load new messages

    Whenever I open Skype, my group conversations take a very long time to load new messages or they do not load new messages at all. This is particularly annoying when I am trying to communicate with people at work or family members. I am using the latest Skype update and would really like a solution to my problem. 

    It is ridiculous. Takes 10 to 15 tries to get it to load. The chat msgs is a big issue.

  • Can't send email; Safari won't load new pages

    Mountain Lion has broken mail (smtp) and Safari is so bad, I've had to install Chrome. Is anyone else getting the same kind of bad experience with 10.8? I have spoken to my ISP and my settings are ok according to them (O2), but I can't send emails from the Mail app. As for Safari, even half of Apple's own pages won't load. I'll be reverting to Lion from a cloned disc if I can't get this fixed.

    Exactly the same is happening to me and I'm with O2,all the settings are correct as well.I spoke to one of the tech people at o2 and they said they'd received about 30 calls about the same thing,thank God I've got Gmail and the iPhone works perfectly.This is rather serious,please Apple do something about it urgently

  • Garageband won't open new project

    My Garageband fails to open up a new project, keeps coming up with a message saying 'file not found'
    any ideas?
    I'm using Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4 on 13inch Macbook Pro
    Cheers,

    up with a message saying 'file not found'
    What exactly is the full error message? And when exactly does it occur? What is your GarageBAnd version - are you using the current GarageBand '11 or an earlier version?
    If the error message is occuring when you are using the opening panel and selected a template - Piano, Electric Guitar, etc., then the problem might be that the templates are not properly installed- Check your System Library:
    Are all templates installed and readable in in the folder
         /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Templates/Projects
    or are they missing?

  • After Effects won't load a project previously saved and working okay

    I am using CS5 10.0.2 on Windows 7 and have a project which I've been working on for a while. All okay so far.
    Today, I have added some media (Royalty Free video files) and it worked / saved okay. However, when I try to re-open it, AE hangs.
    I rename the folder with the new media in it and AE opens (and of course it tells me some files are missing). I try to replace the footage with the video in the new (renamed location) and boom, the programme hangs again.
    I have used AE for 5 or 6 years and never seen anything like this.
    Any ideas?

    I went to that GSpot site, and frankly, I don't trust it.  I think it might have mucked up your OS.  I'd uninstall it.
    Which brings me to another toxic-to-AE item you may have installed: the K-Lite codec pack.  If you did, you're not going to like the rest of this:
    K-Lite has always given AE fits: AE works fine one day, crashes the next.  But because K-Lite weasels its way into all sorts of nooks & crannies of the OS, you can't just uninstall it.  That's not good enough.  You won't get rid of it totally.  You have to to a total operating system reinstall.  It's not for the faint of heart, but that's what has to be done if you inadvertantly installed this evil-acting piece of software.
    Obviously you'll want to plan out the procedure before you take any steps like this.

  • IMovie won't create new project? (Yosemite)

    Hello! I recently got a MacBook Pro. It came with Mavericks, but I quickly upgraded to Yosemite.  I never opened iMovie in Mavericks, I upgraded to Yosemite I imported any videos to work with.
    I'm trying to open a project in iMovie and it won't work. I've never been able to get a new movie or trailer to open. Here's what I get when I try:
    "The operation could not be completed.
    No other information is available about the problem."
    I've read around and it appears to be something with the preferences. So I looked where they suggested and couldn't find the file. I'm guessing it was moved for Yosemite?
    Either way, I need help. I've been messing with it for a week and nothing has worked.
    Any feedback is appreciated, thank you!
