cs4 wont work….uninstalled 1.5 and cant open cs4
Posted by Tyler Smith on September 29, 2009 at 1:28 pmso it was working fine until i uninstalled version since i wasnt using it….and now i cant open cs4. i tried uninstalling and re-installing but it doesnt want to work. The project files have a readme document as default instead of the prem pro. Icon. Any help would be appreciated, im up against a deadline.. Thanks

September 29, 2009 at 1:31 pmfirst sentence i meant to say “uninstalled version 1.5” anyway, i think doing this took out some core components of the program and screwed up cs4. What do you think?

September 29, 2009 at 3:42 pmYou probably uninstalled shared component, and Premiere somehow won’t replace those even with the new installation.
This is the sure way to reinstall Premiere:
Uninstall ALL Adobe software, including flash, Acrobat, etc.
Delete all Adobe folders afterwards. First you will have to go to Control panel > Folder options > View and show hidden files and folders.
Delete the following folders
C:Users{yourname}/AppData/Roaming/Adobe
C:Users/{yourname}/AppData/Local/Adobe
C:Program Files/Adobe
C:Program Files/Common Files/Adobe
C:Program Files (x86)/Adobe
C:Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Adobe
C:ProgramData/Adobe
Then install again.

September 30, 2009 at 2:13 amhi, thanks for the walk through. i did all of that, now when i try to open up my project and it asks me where is this file, that file etc. I click on the video file that it is looking for to link up with and i get an error message “unsupported or damaged file”

Does it only happen with one file?Vince Becquiot

September 30, 2009 at 2:32 amhey, i just re-installed and there is no hdv support. when starting a new project there is no option for capture settings besides the DV setting. i just installed it 2 weeks ago and everything was gravy. now there is stuff missing for hdv….it’s driving me crazy

September 30, 2009 at 2:34 amSounds like you are up for the next step, clean OS install.
I’d back up format and start over. Be sure to keep 1.5 out of it, or create a dual boot.

September 30, 2009 at 5:55 amhey, thanks for the help! I did an install, then re-installed cs4 and got it back up and working. All of this in an attempt to get boris fx working in my comp, just for the vignette look. for some reason it doesn’t want to work for me.
shiza!
thanks.
