If I log on as a Non-Domain ie Local User it works

I had the same problem with Soundbooth crashing on startup after PlayerMediaCore was seen on the splash screen.

A post above about the file called Blacklist.txt gave me the idea to move all of the plug ins to another folder and start the program. Replace them one by one, loading the program after each plug in was moved back into the original folder. The program would not load when the plug in called ImporterFastMPEG was loaded back into its original folder. I can run the program without it.

Thank you Adobe for this forum and thank you to all of you who chose to post here. You have helped more than you could ever know.

I could not start soundbooth yesterday.  

So I tested a solution that I has used to get Encore to start.

I renamed the directory: C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Soundbooth\2.0 to C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Soundbooth\2.0_Old.  I later deleted the library.

After that Soundbooth started.

I still do not know what caused the problem.

Anyone any idea what is happening?

I found that my CS4 Soundbooth 2.0.1 startup crash problem was resolved by simply uninstalling Quicktime (as Durin has mentioned), after all of the other trouble shooting methods failed on me.  After the uninstall, Soundbooth loaded up perfectly and did not crash during its startup and allowed me to edit some audio files successfully.  I haven't tried to reinstall Quicktime yet, to see if the crash reoccurs again, but maybe Soundbooth just prefers to have Quicktime uninstalled and then reinstalled again (after the initial Soundbooth installation)?  Everybody's computer seems to have its own individual resolution for the Soundbooth crash problem, so one just has to experiment a little to see which fix actually works.  Good luck to future crash problems!

I am getting the same problems. i keep getting a Soundbooth Startup  error "Soundbooth could not find capable video playback modules"etc....

I am running on Windows 7 64 bit, with a  radeon HD 5600 graphics card.

I have tried downloading  the latest drivers, reinstalling soundbooth, doing a system restore,  moving/renaming folders and files, holding down shift etc and to no  avail.

I tried loading it in safemode too which partially worked,  ie i could see the interface but the it got a critical error and crashed.

Any help or advice would be appreciated

Thanks

That is the error message that comes up on the screen. It fails whilst hanging on loading playerMediaCore.prm, which is displayed on the soundbooth splash screen. I get a similar error if i try and load premiere. Before the first time i got the error i also got a system error saying that the GPUSniffer.exe was not working properly, is this related?

thanks but that didn't help, just failed faster

I have tried that, completely removed them and put them back. It was working perfectly fine then it just stopped working. The first thing that came up was a GPUSniffer.exe error, and then i couldn't load soundbooth or premiere. I have tried restoring my system and it didn't work, which leads me to believe its a file on the system that isn't getting removed with a restore or reinstall. Any ideas what it could be?

If i try and run the sniffer its come up with a not working error

I have seen on a lot of forums illustrating problems with it breaking.

i am not sure, it may just be saying saying that one of the many ddl files is corrupt

for some reason. I now believe it to be my graphics card becuase if i disable it soundbooth works fine, very odd.

No man im not!

I have SB cs5 and it does not crash when i start just not finishing loading, i get loading playermediacore.prm then nothing,

i moved the nvoglv32.dll from \windows\system32 and that helped, question is how much else is broken now

I use Win 7 ultimate-N 64 bit, i added some media stuff from microsoft to get the mediaplayer and codecs i guess so i could run

songbird, and the performance index in windows, at that point sb stopped working.

Deacon_1 had the answer that worked for me!   Thanks mate! I'm on Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro.  I just moved the ImporterFastMPEG.prm plug-in from the Plug-ins\Common folder - back to the root directory of the Soundbooth installation, and it all loads fine now!

Strange problem though.  Before this fix, Soundbooth didn't open 3 times, then it opened, then it didn't, then it did... and after that it never opened again.

Thanks Deacon_1 and ccoltmanhttp://forums.adobe.com/people/ccoltmanhttp://forums.adobe.com/people/Deacon_1
