Premiere Pro CS3

What have you installed or updated since installing Premiere?
Whatever it is, either uninstall it or restore from a previous backup.

You could also try uninstalling Premiere and reinstalling.

I had this happen too after I had just installed the program. I had just gotten my computer back from the builder who had done a fresh install of windows. I finally contacted Adobe and the only way we could correct the problem was to make a new user account on the computer. The new account was exactly the same as the old one but for some reason the program loaded on the new account but not the old. Not sure if there is any other solution to the problem but at least this might get it back up and running for you. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. Tried installing and reinstalling, using the Adobe Cleanscript, everything. As far as the restore, not a bad idea. If nothing else, I’ll give that a try.

Thanks for the quick reply. I would have never thought of this. I’ll give it a try when I get back home and let you know. Thank you again so much.

Worked like a charm. You a a lifesaver. Thank you so very much. 🙂

Dustin, I have just solved this very problem with my computer. Premiere CS3 3.2.0 did exactly the same as yours: it quit right after loading solidcomposite.aex, window frame flashed on screen and then it crashed.

I followed the good advice of running PPro from another account. This works because it defaults all the OS settings – all the paths to My Documents and so on. The I tried to change path to My Documents (make it point to my little SAN) and Premiere crashed again. I then set it back to default and Premiere runs like charm.

So, make sure you don’t change any of these settings, like paths to critical system and user folders, or anything like that. It makes sense, the latest Avid for example is really picky about this, too.

Hope this helps anybody.
