Premiere Pro 2 and Vista 64
I have read accounts of both success and failure with installing and running Premiere Pro 2 on Vista 64 bit systems.
I was able to successfully install and activate Premiere Pro 2, After Effects 7, Audtion, Photoshop CS2, and Illustrator CS2 with no problems. They all run fine except Premiere. Premiere will load, but does not accept any mouse or keyboard input. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere. I have tried running Premiere as administrator. I have shut off User Account Control. I have even tried running it in safe mode. Nothing has worked so far.
It seems that Premiere will work with some system configurations and not with others. Perhaps, it would be helpful if we were to all indicate our system specs when we share our successes and failures in trying to install and run Premiere on Vista 64 systems. That might give us a clue as to what works and what does not, and help avoid a lot of frustration in trying to get Premiere to work with Vista 64.
My system specs are:
Vista Home Premium 64 OS.
AMD Athlon 2X 64 bit dual core 4600+ processor.
2GB DDR2 PC6400 memory.
Two 320GB SATA hard drives and a 120GB IDE hard drive.
A CD burner.
A CD/DVD burner.
GeForce 7300 256MB graphics card.
2GB USB flash drive as a dedicated Ready Boost device. -

Likely a driver issue, and very likely the display driver. Running fine over here on a Vista laptop, but you need to reinstall XP if you want to get any work done.

I was also able to install both Premiere Pro 2 and After Effects 7 but neither is working. I am running as admin, I have disable DEP and UAC and still no success. any one have any other ideas.

I am having the same problem. DEP is stopping Premiere Pro from running. Called Adobe, they said 2.0 is incompatable with Vista 64, and I need to upgrade.
I have tried disabling DEP from the command line, all that did was stop other programs from launching, and DEP was still stopping Premiere Pro.
Any known fixes?

I got it resolved yesterday, got both After Effects 7 and Adobe premiere Pro 2.0 working on Vista 64 bit. The solution seems odd given that this is a legite install of licensed software.
1) change your date to at least 30 from the current date, next time you start Premiere you will get a dialog that says you now need to activate the software
2) Activate the software, you may need to use phone activation as in my case the internet activation would not work.
3) reset your clock back to proper date and time.You follow the same procedure for AF7.
Note that for AF7 to work I also had to install the 7.0.1 update, before certain plug-ins would not work.Not sure if I will find other issues later but at least for now the software starts.
As far as Adobe, of course they want you to upgrade as it will make them 300$ 😀

I also got it resolved a little differently.
I read on a couple of different Adobe threads that some of the GPU plugins were the problem. Apart from the folders, I deleted all the plugins in the en_US folder, then started Premiere Pro. It finally booted up and I was able to activate. then I restored all the plugins, apart from the three GPU plugins, and started again. This time it opened Premiere fine, but the program froze as soon as it started.
I then switched to XP SP2 Compatible mode. Works like a charm.
Glad i got it to work. Was getting a little frustrated.

This worked perfectly for me also. Thank you for bringing this to light how to simply make Premiere Pro 2.0 work with Vista 64 bit. How you got there, I am not sure but am extremely greatful you have.

If any of you are still monitoring this thread, any ideas on how to get After Effects 7.0 working in Vista x64? I got Premiere Pro going, but after effects is being even more of a pain.

[EDIT]
Sorry, thats what I get for responding on my phone. Didn’t see the post.
Go to your Programs(x86) folder, Adobe, Premiere Pro 2.0…..
right click the .exe file and click properties.
click the compatibility tab
click the check mark next to compatibility mode and then select windows xp service pack 2.
done!
